About us
Atypical Evolution emerges from personal experiences and stories shared by our clients, where a common theme is the frustration of not meeting societal or personal expectations. We stand by the idea that evolution involves making mistakes, learning from them, and cultivating the openness and flexibility needed to make more informed decisions, both for ourselves and those around us. We recognize that this process is unique to each individual, and that deviations from the norm at some point in their evolution are considered "atypical." Our expectation is that everyone reaches their own evolution, no matter how unconventional it may be.
Our goal
We strive to support individuals in pursuing their dreams by promoting their unique pace and providing them with the essential tools they need. We are dedicated to sharing knowledge and products related to mental health from a holistic perspective, emphasizing the importance of preventing intimate partner and family violence and promoting personal growth within the community. Our goal is also to provide mentoring, consulting, and professional development tools to students in social and behavioral sciences.
Join us in embracing the journey of self-discovery and growth!

Verónica López Rodríguez
She enjoys traveling, exploring new destinations, and immersing herself in experiences that expand her repertoire of skills. Outside of her adventures, she greatly values the time she spends with her loved ones, whether it's sharing laughs with her partner, friends, and family, or enjoying the company of her loyal dog Freyja. When she relaxes at home, she enjoys immersing herself in the world of series and movies, finding in them a source of entertainment and inspiration. Her favorite holiday is Christmas because of the festive and joyful atmosphere that is breathed in her home of origin, Puerto Rico. After moving to Florida, she perceives this holiday as a time of reunions and celebrations in which she can spend quality time with family and friends. At the same time, it is a time when people feel more inclined to help others and share with those who need it most, which generates gratitude and makes her feel part of something bigger.
As part of her next steps, Veronica plans to complete a post-doctoral fellowship with training in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Primary Mental Health Care for Women where she will gain advanced training in clinical, research, and administrative work. In addition, she envisions sharing tools and knowledge with graduate students and the community at large to promote both their personal and professional development.
In her professional field, Verónica is highly educated and experienced in psychology and counseling. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Psychology and Community Mental Health from the University of Puerto Rico, Cayey Campus, a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Ponce Health Sciences University. Additionally, she holds certifications in Family and Couples Therapy, as well as in Primary Mental Health Care, among others.
In her counseling practice, Verónica is noted for her training and experience in professional, vocational, and occupational growth and development. Within psychology, her focus centers on populations affected by gender-based and domestic violence, psychological trauma, and women's mental health.
