Recover your serenity
Who am I?
My name is Javier. I am dedicated to my job as a therapist and am passionate about helping you on your journey through any stage of your recovery from any type of addiction. My dedication to my work as a therapist also involves a constant drive to seek out more training for my own personal development both personally and professionally. Whether you want to improve your relationship with drug/alcohol addiction, food or your body image, we can work together to improve any aspect of your life.
For the past 15 years, I have had the privilege to accompany many different types of people from all over the world on their journey towards understanding, accepting and changing their relationship with their use of substances and/or destructive behavior, while they learn to live a fuller happier life free from addiction.
I have worked as a therapist specializing in addictions in many different clinics all over the world, including The Unites States, Spain, South Africa and Thailand. I have successfully helped people with their recovery from many different cultures in both English and Spanish.
I work in collaboration with clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who specialize in addictions and eating disorders to refer a client when needed.
