WORKSHOP FACILITATORS

CEO, CONSULTING PSYCHOLOGIST, & HEALTH CORRESPONDENT

Dr. Moreno is passionate about the interplay between mass media communications, culture, and personal factors. Which explains her academic pursuits. She has a Doctorate in Community Clinical Psychology, a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Bachelor of Science in both Television Broadcasting and Psychology. The more time she spends studying psychological theory, researching human behavior, and working in the community, the more she is inspired by the power of systematically addressing personal and social issues. She has worked as a health educator with middle and high school students, provided psychotherapy with children, families, and couples recovering from violence and trauma, and treated adults on parole and in maximum security psychiatric hospitals suffering with severe mental illness. Spending the last decade teaching and addressing about every topic and crisis imaginable has made corporate consultation and media communications a breeze.

Passionate about working with diverse clientele, she tailors her interventions and presentations to engage and meet the needs of every stakeholder involved.
