PsIcare Health

PsIcare Health is a Barcelona mental health clinic, staffed by American-trained English-speaking psychologists, who are ready to support the city’s expat community with the challenges of moving to a new country. Given that their team has first-hand experience in living abroad, they are well aware of the difficulties foreigners can face when they move to Spain. They take a holistic view on mental health, and their counselling techniques are mainly based within a Cognitive-Behavioral framework, one that psychological research has proven to be most effective.

They offer individual sessions for adults and children who are suffering a wide range of psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment issues, cultural distress, alcoholism, sexual abuse, or domestic violence. They also have experience helping the LGBT expat community and dealing with some of the unique struggles they face.

Additionally, PsIcare Health also offer couples sessions, including a personalised assessment of the relationship to find out what the specific issues are, and provide the best tools to effectively work on them.

Currently all of the sessions are offered online, and you can chat or get in contact with them via their website. Or book an appointment via Doctoralia (see booking link on this page).

The clinic’s founder, Adriana Bastardas-Albero, has lived and studied in both the United States and in Spain, and is an expert in the field of Clinical Psychology. After receiving Masters at both UAB and New York University, Ms. Bastardas is currently finishing her PhD in Clinical Psychology and has contributed to the advancement of the field through thorough research, conferences, and publications. Ms. Bastardas has extensive knowledge in psychopathology and is up to date with the most effective treatments and interventions for various mental illnesses.
