Ana Altea de Eusebio Castillo

Altea de Eusebio found her vocation in psychology when she was just a teenager, as she observed the individual and personal differences that emerged in adolescence amongst her group of friends. She then noticed the importance of mental health and the need for this issue to be of special importance, which is the reason that led her to enroll in a Bachelor in Psychology and work the absolute most to create a professional career in this field.

She has a special interest in the bonds and relations between an individual and their support system and how these are developed, which is why she continued her studies in the field of Systemic Therapy. While doing so, another path called her attention in the field of teaching and helping others learn about mental health: not necessarily from a professional perspective only, as she found that the first step to a healthy society is self-knowledge and awareness.

She is also specialised in Psychodrama, a therapeutic technique which she finds very helpful while working with emotional issues, both in the clinic and in the classroom.

She is currently working in the private practice for clinical psychology, seeing adults and couples in psychotherapy in Madrid; she has experience in leading group therapies, among adults who are looking for a psychotherapy process to look at their inner selves.

She is amazed by the development of personality and psychological features, connecting these to the family and social environment and concepts as attachment and trauma, where she is currently becoming an expert through her studies in re-processing techniques (such as EMDR) and the neurological consequences of trauma.

She has been teaching at universities for over 8 years, paying special attention to the personal experience of learning about oneself and others. She believes in learning through connecting with our emotions and those of others.

Her most recent project has been accepting the role of Director of a clinic in Alcalá de Henares, where she is developing tasks of management and supervision of the group, as well as providing for the needs of the patients that go there.
