Hola, mi nombre es Zulexis y actualmente soy residente postdoctoral en Balanced Awakening. Me alegra mucho que estés aquí. Me describiría como una persona auténtica, lo que se refleja naturalmente en mi rol como terapeuta. Creo en desarrollar una relación genuina, humilde y de apoyo con cada uno de mis clientes para conectarme con su realidad y acompañarles en su proceso de crecimiento y en alcanzar sus metas.

Encontrar el balance en la vida es esencial, pero no siempre es fácil. A veces, la vida puede volverse confusa y no logramos identificar por dónde empezar. Mi objetivo es usar un enfoque colaborativo para ayudarte a reflexionar y a conocer más de ti—de tu vida, emociones, comportamientos y patrones de pensamiento.

Con amplia experiencia en investigación sobre psicología positiva, inteligencia emocional y liderazgo, cuento con el conocimiento de cómo estos conceptos pueden mejorar el bienestar personal. Mi pasión por la psicología positiva me permite enfatizar tus fortalezas únicas para poder brindar un tratamiento personalizado. Al integrar la inteligencia emocional en la terapia, trabajo para fomentar flexibilidad psicológica, ayudándote a adaptarte a los retos de la vida con nuevas perspectivas. Mi experiencia en liderazgo también me permite apoyarte en desarrollar herramientas para liderar tanto a ti mismo, como a los demás de manera eficaz.

Ya sea que estés lidiando con depresión, ansiedad, ADHD, trastornos del estado de ánimo, atravesando transiciones importantes en la vida, o buscando desarrollar resiliencia emocional, estoy aquí para ofrecerte una experiencia psicoterapéutica enriquecedora. No postergues tu camino hacia tu mejor versión—prioriza tu salud mental y bienestar emocional desde hoy.

Hello, my name is Zulexis, and I’m a Postdoctoral Resident at Balanced Awakening. I’m so glad you’re here. I would describe myself as an authentic person, and that naturally shows up in my role as a therapist. I believe in creating a genuine, humble, and supportive relationship with each of my clients to connect with their reality and support them on their journey of growth and achieving their goals.

Finding balance in life is essential, but it’s not always simple. At times, life can feel confusing, and we may feel lost, not knowing where to start. My goal is to use a collaborative approach to help you look inward and gain a deeper understanding of yourself—your life, emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns.

With extensive research experience in positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and leadership, I bring a deep understanding of how these concepts can enhance personal well-being. My passion for positive psychology drives me to focus on your unique strengths and provide personalized support. By integrating emotional intelligence into therapy, I work to foster psychological flexibility, helping you adapt to life’s challenges with new perspectives. My expertise in leadership also allows me to support your ability to lead both yourself and others effectively, with confidence and empathy.

Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, navigating life transitions, or seeking to build emotional resilience, I’m here to provide a fulfilling psychotherapy experience. Don’t postpone your journey to becoming your best self—prioritize your mental health and emotional well-being today.
