Since adolescence Lic. Abner Grijalva, M.A. has been extremely interested in how the mind works, how it connects with our emotions and body, and simply how an individual can find himself anxious, depressed and even suicidal. Lic. Grijalva had noticed how anxiety affected his own life, making him struggle with friends, school activities and life in general. Though college psychology helped answer some of those questions, others were answered in different fields of study such as philosophy, theology and oriental cultures. Through his studies, it became clear that he wanted to help others deal with these kinds of battles quickly and effectively since it can take a toll on our lives. Lic. Grijalva feels fortunate to have found multiple evidence based treatments that were congruent with his own beliefs and experience of what truly works for anxiety and depression.

He holds a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Autonomous University of Guadalajara. He has also completed additional training in stress reduction, cognitive therapy for couples, grief counselling, depression, dialectical behavior therapy, and behavior analysis. 

With this combination of training, case supervision, and experience in the clinical field, Lic. Abner Grijalva is ideally qualified to help others and compassionately provide for the community’s mental health needs.
