IPITIA International Psychological Institute

Centre specialising in OCD and Anxiety

We are a centre specialising in OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and Anxiety. IPITIA’s team of professionals offers effective treatments thanks to their training and the specific, unique methodology they apply.

TOC processing

Treatment at our specialised OCD centre combines therapeutic analysis and exercises following an Analytical-Experiential methodology (the name we have given it because of its eclecticism and the psychological integration it implies) to activate the person’s primary drives and focus on the viral challenges.

We do not limit our attention to symptom management and cognitive-behavioural control; our therapeutic approach is oriented towards a more adaptive and personalised modality, which delves into individual barriers and prevents the establishment of control patterns.

Anxiety Treatment

Our working methodology for the treatment of Anxiety Disorders has been researched and created to obtain good results. It consists of an approach exclusive to our specialised OCD and Anxiety Centre, called Analytical-Experiential.

By activating and focusing the impulses and vital instincts repressed due to fearful experiences, the normal regulation of the patient’s anxiety level is facilitated, leading to a gradual reduction of obsessive and compulsive symptoms.

Types of therapy

The therapeutic process in our centre specialising in OCD and Anxiety has been developed from the clinical evidence of years of therapeutic experience.

In it, we place greater emphasis from the outset on the experiential component of unblocking instinctual and instinctual elements, with the sole objective of generating an even more effective and time-efficient impact in terms of generating improvement.

A demanding but exciting process, to live as you wish, and not just for mere survival, in which with involvement and effort we will walk the only path towards a significant improvement of obsessive symptoms and anxiety.

Simplemente agradecer al equipo que conforma IPITIA, por haberme tratado mi problema de TOC de la manera en la que lo hizo, cambios psíquicos profundos se han producido en mí al punto en el que ya ni siquiera tengo compulsiones, siendo que en Octubre del 2018 llegué por primera vez a una sesión en ese centro con un muy alto nivel de ansiedad. Mi conclusión es que ustedes son como el Messi, Pelé o Cristiano pero tratando los transtornos de ansiedad, me parece increíble prácticamente haber salido de algo que la gran mayoría de los psicólogos me habían dicho que no tenía cura y sin embargo, mediante la metodología AFOP he conseguido prácticamente sanarme y eso que aún no he concluido completamente el tratamiento. Gracias de nueva cuenta IPITIA, me han devuelto por completo la espontaniedad y serenidad en mi vida, vivo con más valentía y sensación de certidumbre ante los obstáculos que la vida me coloque, atrás quedó ya la inhibición y el alto nivel de ansiedad que viví por varios años.

Hola a todos. Me llamo Pablo y hace prácticamente un año hice la terapia del método AFOP con Damián Ruíz y su fabuloso equipo. Llevaba conmigo un problema que acarreaba desde los 21 años, un trastorno obsesivo compulsivo que me impedía hacer todo aquello que en el pasado hacia con total naturalidad. Cuando acabe la terapia sufrí durante dos meses una crisis existencial muy potente, aun no encontraba el significado de porque en el pasado había sido sumiso, hasta que llenándome de valentía me propuse averiguar de que se trataba, hasta que lo encontré, los transforme y por fin canalice. A día de hoy mi situación ha cambiado de una manera sideral, vivo con una vitalidad enorme y de una manera completamente satisfactoria todos los días. El miedo lo sustituí por valentía, la ansiedad dejo de estar latente ya que aprendí que las motivaciones en mi vida conseguían reducirla aplicando también el razonamiento. Doy las gracias de corazón al centro IPITIA , su método hizo que mis ganas de vivir volvieran... nada fue fácil, pero nada es imposible, solo has de demostrar la fuerza que hay en ti. Alguien dijo una vez; para llegar al alba primero has de atravesar el sendero de la noche. Observar quienes sois y sacareis el potencial que lleváis dentro. NADA ES IMPOSIBLE. UN FUERTE ABRAZO.

Here, you will find various books on psychology and narrative.

A journey through the human mind and spirit aimed at those people who suffer from an obsessive disorder of lesser or greater severity, their family and friends, and all those therapists, doctors or psychologists who treat these patients.

Frequently asked questions: OCD and Anxiety Centre

How do I know if I should see a psychologist?

When you have a problem, no matter how serious it is, and you don’t know how to solve it, you should see someone to help you. That is the mission of IPITIA’s professionals. To help solve all those problems or situations that affect people and give them the guidelines to face them and eradicate them.

Will the psychologist help me with my problem?

IPITIA employs professionals with extensive experience in hundreds of cases, providing solutions to the problems that may arise. Sometimes we think that we have an extremely rare or serious problem and that is what IPITIA’s specialists are there for, and they have the experience to solve it.

Can I start an online therapy from day one?

IPITIA always recommends face-to-face therapy, but for those cases in which the patient is abroad or far from our centre, it is difficult to attend regularly. In these cases, we offer the option of online therapy from the first day or after an intensive individual or group face-to-face session.

What do I have to do to start therapy?

To start therapy you need to be willing and have the desire to solve the problem. Please contact us if you have any questions. We are at your disposal.

How long does an individual visit last?

Individual visits last 1 hour.

Confidentiality at IPITIA?

All psychologists and psychiatrists who work and/or collaborate in our Centre are members of a professional association and, as their professional duty, maintain patient-professional confidentiality in all cases.
