About me
Let me explain a little bit about me...
Hello, I’m Marina, I’m pleased to meet you!
I was born in Venezuela, trained as a psychologist in Spain and currently live in the Netherlands. I don’t feel particularly rooted to any place, although I have always been looking for stability. It has been a path full of ups and downs, but I dare say that at the present moment, I am where I want to be.
I am a sensitive, empathetic and fun person. I also live with a part of me that is a bit more annoying; self-demanding, perfectionist and anxious. That is why, relying on my own profession, I have undergone several psychotherapeutic processes over the years. Today I continue my path of personal growth, accepting that there are always things to learn.
I love everything related to creating; gardening, drawing, baking, writing and crafts. I would love to have a bakery and create my own recipes, but currently psychology is my priority. For the last few years I have been seeking and finding calm through yoga and meditation, they are pure medicine.
Professional background
At the end of my psychology degree I really enjoyed exploring different branches of psychology. I have worked in hospitals, neurostimulation centers and psycho-pedagogical centers; with children, adolescents, adults and elderly people; with different approaches and with different professionals. After many years of training and learning, I decided it was time to create something of my own, something more intimate and personal. As a result of this desire, Marina Gonzalez Psychology Center was born, a project designed to help others through self-knowledge, listening and acceptance.
So far my experience has helped many people and I am very grateful for the trust they place in me. I know that it is important to have knowledge about the training of mental health professionals, so I share with you my education:
- Degree in Psychology at the Universitat de Barcelona.
- Master in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Institut Mensalus).
- Master in Neuropsychology at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
- Master in General Health Psychology at the University of Girona.
- Expert in Emotional Intelligence (Spanish Association of Health Psychology).
Vision
I believe that self-knowledge, listening and acceptance are the pillars that promote change.
