A Few Words about Me​

My name is Katherine Malavenda. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor offering psychological services in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.  I offer a variety of services including individual counseling and therapy and couples or marriage counseling.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. I will work with you to help you find what is holding you back and keeping you from enjoying your life, living by your values, enjoying healthy relationships or pursuing your dreams.

I use a collaborative and eclectic approach to therapy combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and EMDR. I also offer trauma counseling, EMDR, and couples or marriage counseling through the Gottman approach and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

My hope for you in therapy is that you will learn a healthy balance between facing your challenges, staying present and living by your values to create a life that is personal and deeply meaningful to you.

What My Clients Say

“Katherine has helped with several traumas that were debilitating. I have been able to move forward with positivity, clarity and hope. 

The intensive EMDR session felt like I completed months worth of therapy in a short few hours. I found triggers and some deep-rooted beliefs that I was able to deal with and was able to reframe my view of these events.

Thanks Katherine. I am very grateful for your positive attitude, kind heart and for holding space for me to heal.”
