A deep approach from the root, not just the symptom.
In our center, we offer an innovative approach to working with people who present different types of dependency, understood as a difficulty in sustaining emotional well-being without resorting to external objects, people, or behaviors in a compulsive way. Our model does not start from pathologizing the symptom, but from a compassionate view of the wounds that give rise to that suffering. We work from the ground up, exploring the causes and developing sustainable inner resources.
Types of dependency we support:
Emotional and relational dependencies
- Insecure attachment relationships, difficulty being alone, excessive need for approval or contact.
- Relational dynamics that generate repeated distress and a lack of emotional autonomy.
Compulsive behaviors linked to immediate emotional relief
- Excessive use of mobile phones, social media, shopping, sex, or work as a form of escape.
- Repetitive routines that lead to guilt, isolation, or a loss of meaning.
Support and guidance in substance dependency processes
- For people in pre-contemplation stages or those who have completed medical treatment and wish to work on the deeper emotional aspects of their process.
In our psychology center for the treatment of dependency, we combine a scientific approach with personalized and close care. Each intervention is designed to adapt to the person’s moment and context, integrating validated techniques, effective therapeutic models, and respectful support. We do not focus on “stopping” a behavior, but on understanding what purpose it serves, what void it fills, and what kinder ways we can learn to be with ourselves. From there, we work on emotional empowerment, inner compassion, and the recovery of freedom.
