At INTRA-TP, we provide psychological care to people of all ages, including adults, children, and adolescents. We address a wide variety of psychological difficulties, adapting the intervention to the specific needs of each stage of life.

Our working model is global and integrative, which means intervening not only at the individual level, but also at the group, family, and multifamily level when the situation requires it. This broad perspective allows us to better understand the context in which distress develops and to design more effective interventions tailored to each case.

The role of the family in the therapeutic process

One of the distinctive features of our approach is the attention given to family members. From the first session, they are supported by a family therapist whose objective is to resolve doubts, provide psychoeducation, and offer personalized guidelines, always adapted to the specific situation of each family.

Parallel work with patients and family members allows for a greater scope of therapeutic intervention. In some cases, due to emotional variability or sensitivity that may appear in certain family relationships, joint sessions may interfere with the process or hinder its continuity. Parallel support helps prevent unnecessary emotional strain and promotes a more stable progression of treatment.

Psychotherapeutic Care

Couples Therapy

From our team’s perspective, couples therapy is understood as a meeting space between two people whose relational bond is no longer functioning as it once did. It is a safe space where the couple can begin to review their shared history, reflecting on what once worked and what now needs to be reconsidered or transformed.

Many couples identify difficulties in communication, conflicts with families of origin, disagreements in child-rearing, or problems related to intimacy or sexual life. Beyond these specific issues, one of the fundamental objectives of therapy is to understand what is happening in the “between us,” in a relationship that has been built over time but, in its current form, is no longer satisfying.

The couples therapist supports both partners throughout this process of exploration and change, facilitating new ways of understanding and relating to one another.

Psychological Therapy

Our work in couples therapy is based on an integrative, compassionate, and up-to-date approach that takes into account each partner’s personal history, the context in which the relationship has developed, and the emotional dynamics that have consolidated over time. We do not start from idealized models or rules about what a couple “should” or “should not” be, but rather explore different ways of building a bond, respecting the uniqueness of each relationship.

Throughout the therapeutic process, we help the couple understand what is happening between them, identify patterns of communication, conflict, or emotional distance, and review strategies that, although they may once have been useful, currently generate distress or blockage. The therapeutic space thus becomes a safe place to express emotions, doubts, and needs that are often difficult to address in everyday life.

The objective is to clarify what is legitimate and reasonable to expect and ask for within a couple relationship, while fostering greater emotional and relational awareness. From this perspective, we support the couple in building a more conscious, balanced, and satisfying bond, promoting ways of relating that are better aligned with their values, needs, and life stage.

How do we work?

Duration and Format of Interventions

The usual duration of individual sessions is one hour, allowing for in-depth therapeutic work adapted to each person’s pace. Group therapy sessions typically last approximately two hours, facilitating participation, the exchange of experiences, and the benefits of group work. Multifamily psychoeducational workshops (aimed at groups of families) may range from two to four hours, depending on the characteristics of the group, the objectives established, and the specific needs of the participating families.
