He was an outstanding athlete and for six years shared his knowledge about the workings of the brain with everyone through sessions, conferences, books and social media.

Arturo believes that taking care of your mental health should not start when life forces us to do so, but rather in advance - as a process of self-analysis and self-knowledge that promotes growth and motivation to achieve a fulfilling life.

He works side by side with athletes of all levels every day, helping them achieve their best results and have fun doing it. The fundamental principle of his approach is attention to the process itself - this is what gives self-confidence and a sense of security.

Objective
I am a dedicated and empathetic psychologist with a passion for working with individuals who have undergone difficult life experiences, particularly trauma. After completing my degree in psychology in 2018, I have continued to develop my expertise through further education and hands-on experience. I am seeking an opportunity to contribute my knowledge and skills to help individuals recover and improve their mental well-being.

Education

Master’s Degree in Psychology
I completed my master’s degree in psychology in 2018, and during my studies, I developed a strong interest in trauma psychology and mental health. My theoretical education has been complemented with practical experience in various fields of psychology, providing me with a broad understanding of the factors that affect mental health.

Continuing Education and Courses in Trauma and Mental Health
Over the past few years, I have continued to deepen my knowledge and specialize in trauma treatment and psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Some of the courses I have completed include:

Professional Experience

Psychologist, Psychiatric Department of the Military Medical Academy
One of my most significant experiences was working in the psychiatric department of the Military Medical Academy, where I worked with clients dealing with various forms of trauma, especially from military service in conflict zones. During my time there, I worked both individually and in groups with traumatized soldiers and civilian patients who had experienced psychiatric disorders resulting from severe experiences.

I was responsible for assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and emotional instability. Treatments included Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and trauma-focused therapy. I quickly learned to adapt my methods depending on the individual’s specific needs, which was an invaluable lesson in understanding the complex psychological effects of trauma.

Key Responsibilities:

Psychologist, Private Practice
In addition to my role at the Military Medical Academy, I have also run a private practice where I have worked with a broader client group, including individuals seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and work-related difficulties. I have applied both CBT and other evidence-based methods to help patients process their emotions and improve their mental health.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct individual psychological assessments and treat patients for various mental health issues. Provide counseling and support to patients dealing with life-changing events such as separation, loss, or career transitions.

• Educate and support patients in coping strategies and stress management techniques.

Skills and Competencies

• Trauma-Focused Therapy – Experience in treating individuals who have undergone severe trauma, including PTSD and other stress-related conditions.
