Empowered Psychology

Empowered Psychology Is a community that gives a voice to those with visible and invisible illnesses

Empowered Psychology is an educational platform that teaches individuals how to apply psychological-based knowledge and skills to their lives in order to overcome adversity and create their dream lives

Our approach

Intersectionality

Intersectionality is a critical framework that teaches us how to approach our experiences and idenities on multiple levels. Empowered Psychology focuses on tackling adversity and building mental strength through an intersectional lense. By understanding how different aspects of ourselves intersect, we are able to uniquely approach our adversity and growth.

Our approach

Interdisciplinary

Positive, educational, and cognitive psychology are the bases on Empowered Psychology, but we incorporate other disiciplines such as sociology, neuroscience, philosophy, and history in order to get a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Our approach

Critical Thinking

Empowered Psychology focuses on taking an intersectional and interdisciplinary approach to develop critical thinking skills. By developing our critical thinking skills we will be able to destroy ignorance and create wisdom.

aBOUT THE FOUNDER

I am Christella Villatoro a mother, educator, lupus survivor, and an aspiring Psychologist and Dance Artist.

I discovered my love for the discipline of Psychology when I took the course in high school. The base of knowledge I acquired through that particular course was used to save my life when I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis my junior year.

Through the principles of cognitive and positive psychology I was able to overcome two aggressive lupus flare-ups and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I received my B.A in Psychology and Sociology in addition to minor in Educational Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin.

My passion for Psychology was redirected to another passion, specifically the art of Dance. I developed those disciplines through the mentorship of Dr. Marissa Knox, who instilled in me the principles and inspired me to establish Empowered Psychology.

I am furthering my development as a masters candidate at New York University. In the meantime, I am working on Empowered Psychology and receiving my dance training under the mentorship of Sheila Milner.
