Hello and a warm welcome to you. I am delighted to connect with you. My name is Jorge Partida. I live in the beautiful city of Long Beach, California and feel blessed to be able to walk to the ocean every day accompanied by Thor and Teotl, my two dogs. My first years of life I happily spent by my grandmother's side. She was a Mexican healer and celebrated every person for their unique gifts and talents when many saw outcasts and abnormality. I knew then, I wanted to be like her and psychology became my chosen discipline to help others on their journey towards healing and self-actualization. I believe we all have a unique gift and talent, and it is important to nurture and polish that gift for the benefit of all.
