Meet the Therapist
Edelys obtained her bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in the Dominican Republic. She then moved to Miami, where she obtained her master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Carlos Albizu University. In addition, Edelys is trained in Infant Mental Health Counseling, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EFT: Tapping, and EMDR. Edelys has been able to incorporate these modalities and make them fit into art and play in her services.
Edelys firmly believes that parent engagement is very important for the success of their child. "When parents become involved, it makes the child feel supported and that there is a team of people that have their back." Edelys also provides space and resources for parents in order to help them navigate through their thoughts and feelings about what their child is experiencing and explore better ways to support their child. As she likes to say, "Happy parent, happy child; unhappy parent, unhappy child."
