Génesis Bolaños

Clinical Psychologist
Quito,P

Summary

I am a clinical psychologist specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I design and implement evidence-based interventions to promote mental health, resilience, and emotional regulation in children, adolescents, and adults with diverse emotional challenges. I integrate artistic and expressive resources within structured clinical frameworks to foster meaningful change.

I approach clinical practice with empathy, active listening, and respect for each individual's uniqueness. I promote safe spaces where children, adolescents, and families can express their emotions, reframe experiences, and develop inner resources. My commitment is to provide care with technical rigor and human sensitivity, generating creative and transformative alternatives.

Creative Writing

For me, writing is therapeutic; it's a way to organize my thoughts and emotions. I've always felt called to write, to connect with others through the art of writing. When I write, I let it all out and realize how much we have in common. As human beings, we almost always seek to differentiate ourselves and distance ourselves, but for me, writing is a way to unite, to see each other more honestly, to connect, and to realize that we're not so different from one another.

Mindfullness

As a clinical psychologist, I'm always looking for new tools to bring calm and clarity to my patients. That's how I began to delve into the world of meditation. Now, many of the techniques I use in therapy come from this approach, which for me is a lifestyle in which you are present and aware of yourself, your body, emotions, and thoughts.
