With a foundation as a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist and a doctoral degree in psychology, my career focused on trauma, refugee mental health, psychological assessments, forensic evaluations, and disaster management. My expertise is further validated by my tenure at Columbia University and a pivotal fellowship at the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma. I have numerous publications, workshops, and consultancies, cementing my status as a trusted expert. In parallel to my academic and professional pursuits in psychology, I founded Paula Madrid & Associates, a firm that underscores my commitment to providing specialized psychological services. Expanding my impact beyond traditional psychology, in 2014, I founded Blue Panda Office Spaces. Blue Panda offers flexible private office rentals and virtual office solutions in NYC and embodies my vision of merging environmental sustainability with workplace well-being, catering to professionals and businesses that value eco-friendly and supportive work environments.
