Maria Gràcia Cornellà Maria Gràcia Cornellà Font
Psychologist.
For years, in the Gabinet Cornellà we specialize in psychotherapy and the theory of Attachment.
My father, the psychiatrist Josep Cornellà, founded the firm in 1980 and in 2009, I started working with him as a psychologist. Since his death in June 2014, I understand also the direction of the Gabinet.
After studying Psychology, I specialized in Forensic Psychology at the International University of Catalonia, with a Master ended in 2014.
My main concern, however, is to know how the attachment established with the family and other close people can affect the development of the person. The personal relationships stablished in the past and that continue to get stablished have a direct impact in how personality is built, in the self steem, and in the chances of success and happiness along the life.
To specialize in the theory of the Attachment, I studied at the University of Montpellier, between the years 2015 and 2016, the postgraduate dedicated to this Theory.
Since 2015 I have given a series of talks on various aspects of development of children and adolescents in several schools and institutes of Girona and Salt. Many of them in collaboration with the Social Services of Salt.
In 2017, I gave a training for professionals at the College of Psychologists of Catalonia on the theory of the Attachment which got repeated in 2019.
In 2020 I finished my PhD at the Universitat de Girona, on the Attachment Theory, the Temperament and the Selfconcept and its relation to some typical adolescent risk behaviors.
I look forward to serving my patients with my passion for psychology and my desire to always incorporate new knowledge and skills.
At Gabinet Cornellà, we have experience in psychotherapy in English, Catalan, Spanish and French.
