Mario Alonso, Ph.D is a clinical and consulting psychologist who has been working with individuals, families, and organizations for over twenty years. As a business owner and through his consulting work he knows firsthand about the difficulties and potential conflicts found in the workplace.
As a practicing clinician he saw how the personal lives of the patients he was treating were significantly affected by stressful situations at work. Conversely, an employee's productivity suffered from home and family stress seeping into the workday. It didn't matter whether the employee was a blue collar individual working on the assembly line, a middle level executive feeling caught between his supervisees and top management, or a CEO making decisions affecting thousands of lives. In every case emotions affect behavior and impact on productivity, performance, and profitability.

Dr. Alonso founded Metropolitan Consultation Associates, Inc. in 1981 to provide employee assistance programs (EAP's) to local companies. The thrust of the EAP was to prevent daily conflicts, at home or at work, from seriously affecting emotional lives and work performance. While EAP's benefit employees' emotional lives and increase the individual employee's productivity, it became clear that it would be consultation work with top management that would have the most overall impact.

Dr. Alonso's hispanic origin and bilingual ability provide an essential perspective and understanding in dealing with the hispanic culture.

Dr. Alonso uses his twenty years' experience in the field of executive coaching and leadership development to help create organizations that are both human and financially successful.
