I am Ivonne Alexandra Vélez Cordero, a Dominican-American national. I have lived in the Dominican Republic my entire life and currently reside in the eastern part of the country.

My professional training has taken place in various countries, including the Dominican Republic, Spain, Chile, Canada, Mexico, and the United States. I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Master’s in Crisis and Trauma Interventions and a specialization in Systemic Trauma Therapy. I am also a certified EMDR therapist and trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy, as well as holding a degree in Communications. I am currently undergoing professional training with Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam to become certified as a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner.

I have extensive experience supporting patients with complex trauma, both in hospital settings and in private, in-person practice. I have participated in numerous community projects, which I combine with assisting individuals worldwide through my private practice with online sessions, providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space.
