Dr. Erik X. Alonso

My knowledge and experience as a Doctor in Clinical & Forensic Psychology and Clinical Social Worker enables me to offer an effective approach when working with Companies, Organizations and Industries (Industrial Organizational Psychology) seeking to addresses the professional aspirations of the leaders and employees of a corporation. An individual in a leadership role has a responsibility to many people (shareholders, subordinates, the public, etc.) Because of this level of responsibility the I/O Clinician may suggest that the leader focus on specific measurable outcomes as they impact their role in the business.  I implement a personalized methodology for every individual, organization and corporation, which allows a measurement of success directly related to the client’s professional achievements or the executive’s role and goals. I construct an individualized plan that focuses on the needs of my clients in the context of their organizational and personal dreams and objectives. My emphasis is to meet individuals or corporations at their starting point and facilitate a precise blueprint with goals and objectives that are measurable.  Its important for me to understand the whole picture while concurrently progressing on a manageable set of tangible goals, including focusing on the ones that will ultimately have the greatest impact. I engage not only the organizer, but stakeholders, team members, peers, and others who are committed to positive outcomes and long-lasting transformation. I strive to build environments where the conditions for success are optimized through structure and support. From the onset, my goal is to build trust and rapport; long-lasting relationships that allow for open communication, listening and the fostering of conditions for sustainable transformation. 

My focus is to help individuals flourish, energize, heal and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by (Coaching through a Psychology lens) and providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individualized plan. I’m an expert at coaching my clients to new levels of leadership and potential, developing skills and increased personal awareness that is lasting and sustainable. I do this by leveraging methods and using clinical and coaching tools that stem from leadership theory while progressing a mutually agreed engagement plan. Methods could include one-on-one coaching, 360 reviews, workplace exercises, imagery visioning, interpersonal dynamics training and live coaching. I succeed by fully understanding engagement goals, psychoanalysis, assuring organizational buy-in, and by assuring the foundational conditions of mutual respect and trust. Depending on the engagement, we also deepen personal and organizational understanding drawing on frameworks from awareness training and mindfulness. And throughout our engagements, I monitor progress, remaining open to changes in direction and trying different approaches should some paths seem more favorable than others.  Sessions are held in person, via Skype or by telephone. Convenient, private, and professional counseling wherever you are.

My promise is to be there for you every step of your journey. As a Clinician, Coach, and Counselor, I draw on a combination of psychological and clinical experience, real-world leadership experience, life coaching experience, and leadership theory to successfully frame and implement winning vision and engagement plans. My goal is to help you grow from your experiences, overcome your struggles, heal from your traumas, overcome limitations and irrational thinking while advancing to where you want to see yourself in your life.
