What is the first session with a psychologist like?
It is a session to get to know each other and understand what is going on. You do not need to know what to say or prepare anything: you can tell us at your own pace, without judgment. At the end we give you an initial assessment and agree on next steps.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem and the person. Some well-defined problems, such as a specific phobia, take 8 to 12 sessions; others, such as severe OCD or an eating disorder, need more time. In general we are talking about months, not years. In the first session we agree on goals and give you an estimate, which we review with you along the way.
How much does a therapy session cost?
An individual session costs €60, in person or online. Packs lower the price per session: 5 sessions for €280, 10 for €520 and 15 for €720. There is a reduced rate of €50 for people who are unemployed and for athletes from the clubs we work with.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book on the website under "Book": choose your psychologist, day and time. If you prefer, message us on WhatsApp or call +34 93 146 44 64. We try to reply within 24 hours.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Video sessions have the same length and the same follow-up as in-person sessions, and for most problems the results are comparable. We send you a link and there is nothing to install. You can combine online sessions with in-person ones in Ripollet or Barcelona.
Where is your practice?
Our main practice is at Carrer de Cervantes, 3, in Ripollet, a few minutes from Cerdanyola del Vallès and Montcada i Reixac. In Barcelona we see clients on some days at Teodora Lamadrid, 30 (Sarrià). We also offer online sessions.
When should I see a psychologist?
You do not have to be in a bad place. You can come if something is not working the way you would like: you are sleeping badly, you feel more anxious or low than usual, you argue more, or something you used to handle well now weighs on you. We also see people who simply want to know themselves better or perform better in their sport or at work.
What ages do you work with?
We see clients from age 6. Up to 18, in Child and Adolescent Psychology; from 18, in Health Psychology. In Sports Psychology we work with athletes and coaches of any age and level.
Do you work with health insurance?
No. We work privately and are not in any insurer’s network. Some insurance plans reimburse part of the cost of private consultations: we give you an invoice so you can claim it. Check with your provider.
