Testimonials
Good morning, a year ago I was going through a very difficult time and didn’t know what to do. A friend told me about the International Resilience Center. I contacted them and asked for help. They assigned me to Dr. Tania Cedeño, who during this time has helped me discover the tools to learn to face life, valuing myself as a person and discovering the wonderful woman I am, without depending on anyone. Throughout this long and enriching process, I have been accompanied by Dr. Cedeño, who is an excellent professional, has been very important to me because now I see how I was a year ago and how I am now, having discovered the wonderful woman within me. I still have a long way to go, but I’m still in the process. I’m infinitely grateful to the International Resilience Center for their support throughout this process.

Greetings, I would like to share my testimony about my experience at the International Resilience Center. Overall, I’m very grateful for what I received. The professional therapist who treated me took care to address the issues I needed to work on. The meetings were always on time and proceeded in a timely manner, allowing me to achieve progress over time.
Sometimes we took breaks to observe an emerging issue and address it in the same way.
I reiterate my gratitude to the International Resilience Center, as I have made significant progress in my personal journey.

In recent years, I have found very special support at the International Resilience Center. They have supported me and strengthened my knowledge and experience throughout this time. I have been so strong in community advocacy. Just as I have supported women and children in situations of risk, I have had the great privilege of having the support of the International Resilience Center. As a rights advocate, I need that psychological support that clarifies my ideas, with technical tools, convinced that everything is built from within, from the fabric of the community. Thanks to the International Resilience Center, I have stopped suffering so much anxiety, emotional, mental, and even physical exhaustion, and I am happier.
I feel confident referring people who are experiencing vulnerability to the International Resilience Center; they are in good hands. I offer my gratitude and all the energy needed to continue with that charisma of selfless service.

Good morning, I want to thank the International Resilience Center so much, because thanks to them I’m healing the scars that were still present in my life, those things that were keeping me from moving forward and evolving as I want. I continue to make progress with excellent therapy, and I will continue to do so. You are excellent human beings. A warm hug, and thank you very much for everything.
