Clinical Psychologist
Saray Monzón is a clinical psychologist specialising in Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT), with advanced training in Dialectical behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). She combines scientific precision with genuine compassion to help adolescents, adults, and couples overcome emotional challenges, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what gives their lives meaning. At THE BALANCE Rehab Clinic, Saray provides confidential and highly personalized care, fully aligned with the clinic’s philosophy of “one client at a time” and its deep commitment to holistic excellence.
Academic & Research Background
Before dedicating her career fully to clinical practice, Saray spent more than six years as a Research Associate and Assistant Lecturer at the University of the Balearic Islands (IUNICS-UIB), within the Psychology and Psychiatry Unit led by Dr. Miquel Roca. During this time, she combined psychotherapy for adult patients with participation in innovative longitudinal studies on depression, cognitive functioning, and treatment adherence.
Her research team received national recognition and funding for scientific excellence, and their findings were published in respected international journals such as BMC Psychiatry, European Neuropsychopharmacology, and the Journal of Affective Disorders. Saray has authored and co-authored numerous scientific articles, book chapters, and professional manuals, and has presented her work at international conferences on mental health and forensic psychology. This strong research foundation continues to shape her therapeutic practice today—integrating evidence-based methods with sensitivity, creativity, and an open, collaborative spirit.
