Cynthia Alcivar is a clinical psychologist with a strong academic background and extensive professional experience in mental health. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), Ecuador, and a Master’s in Affective Disorders from King’s College London (KCL), UK.
With experience in both in-person and online therapy, Cynthia has worked in diverse settings, adapting to each patient’s unique needs while ensuring a safe and confidential space. She follows an integrative therapeutic approach, incorporating three evidence-based modalities:

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and modify negative thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly beneficial for those experiencing intense emotions, such as individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This approach focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal relationships.
3. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and emotions rather than resisting them, promoting a values-based life approach. It is especially effective for stress, anxiety, and self-compassion.
