About Maite
With over a decade of experience in mental health and a strong academic foundation in clinical psychology, I bring deep empathy, clinical insight, and creativity to my work with individuals with special needs. My specialization in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), along with my leadership at centers like Portal Miró and KUSI NOA, has equipped me to provide tailored, patient-centered care for children and adolescents with developmental challenges. I am trained in psychoanalytic therapy and art therapy, and I use these approaches to create safe, engaging environments that support emotional expression, communication, and personal growth. My background as a dance and movement instructor further enhances my ability to connect with non-verbal individuals and support sensory integration through body awareness. Beyond clinical care, I understand the importance of teamwork, flexibility, and cultural sensitivity. As a bilingual professional fluent in Spanish and English, I am ready to support families holistically—emotionally, therapeutically, and practically. Caring for individuals with special needs is not only my profession, but my vocation—and I am committed to being a calming, creative, and consistent presence in their lives.
