Grief: Write an Email Volunteer

 Disclaimer

Self-help is useful, but it is not a substitute for professional assistance. Emotional and behavioral problems can be debilitating and dangerous. Please seek professional help: 

if you have thoughts of killing yourself or harming others;
if you feel depressed, anxious, guilty or down on yourself frequently; if you are abusing substances; if your performance or interpersonal relationships are impaired.

"Our purpose is to give information.. We can not, and are not, assuming the role of your physician or therapist in any of our replies. 

We also do not know your other medical problems and psychiatric diagnoses, which usually have a dramatic effect on medication (and other treatment) recommendations. You must make a medical and treatment plan with your physician and therapist(s).

Feel free to write any of the grief volunteers below.

Spanish Speaking Psychologist Volunteer

1) I am interested to help Spanish population with any mental health concerns by volunteer programs. I am a native Spanish speaker, I moved here from Argentina 5 months ago. I have worked for 10 years as a clinical psychologist in my country.

I moved to the United States almost six months ago with my family, because my husband is working here. I have a son who is 8 years old. We are working together to settle in this new environment, and to enjoy this new experience; it's a great challenge.

I have worked for ten years as a clinical psychologist and as a pre-school teacher in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a psychologist I was working with children, teens and adults at individual and familiar therapeutic settings; and in different specialties: diagnosis (psychological testing, assessment center), psychotherapy, counseling and day treatment program ( children in the autism spectrum). A summary of goals in my job: 1) install an environment of empathy, a supportive environment at the setting; 2) select and focus on particular topics, items of the problem, establish objectives; 3) facilitate in making decisions, develop alternatives, analyse them, select the best, implement it, evaluate the result; 4) help to identify alternative solutions; 5) open up discussion of behaviors resulting in clarification; 6) help to take risks to increase expertise under a supportive environment; 7) support to move toward achievement in life, reach success.
