TAP Center was born in 2009 by its founders Patricia Gutiérrez Albaladejo and Patricia Sánchez Merino with the firm purpose of accompanying people to achieve their well-being goals. Professionalism, perseverance, analysis to detect needs and enthusiasm for the profession have allowed them to grow in these 10 years.
They have created a multidisciplinary team made up of psychologists, sexologists, psychiatrists, and pedagogues, who frame their intervention in scientifically supported therapies, thus achieving high quality in the service offered in each of the cases. The individualization of each process is for Centro TAP one of the greatest guarantees for success.
The team complements each other to address all needs in a joint and coordinated manner that patients may present, thus facilitating therapeutic intervention in a comprehensive manner and in a single environment.
The main objective throughout these years of experience in Madrid (and outside the community thanks to its online therapies) has been build a guarantee intervention methodology for your patients , making the trust they place in the team rewarded with therapeutic successes. Its main function is to accompany its patients in the analysis of the difficulties and the therapeutic line to follow, and the incorporation of regulation strategies, skills and competencies for the resolution of their conflicts and tools for identification and active coping.
As therapists, the team members aim to provide the keys to a global improvement of the person, making your patients the promoters of their own change which they will achieve through the tools, resources and strategies acquired throughout the therapeutic process.
At Centro TAP they understand that Psychology is a fundamental piece to achieve a concept of Comprehensive Health , since only in this way is the complete development of the human being and its adequate adaptation to its different contexts of interaction and development facilitated. They use the most advanced techniques to carry out a correct evaluation, diagnosis, intervention and treatment, taking into account the different difficulties that patients present in consultation.

The areas of psychological intervention
For Centro TAP, working with families and children is essential. A fundamental piece of his work is the area of pedagogy , where the premise is that learning is not just reproducing or imitating, it is a process in which boys and girls build, creating from what they have learned. It is an innate capacity in human beings, and each and every one of us is provided with it; We just have to know how to use it properly to obtain the results we expect.
In the case of those boys and girls who have difficulties at school, They have techniques, strategies and resources to improve learning processes that will facilitate their development in their role as students.
Furthermore, Centro TAP seeks not only intervention when a difficulty already exists, but also They also work on the prevention of psychological problems in later stages of development through a unique program so that fathers and mothers feel the peace of mind that they are doing the best for their baby.
The same occurs with the area of sexology, and its team of professionals specialized in individual and couple work, where they understand that there is no other way to work on sexuality than making room for all sexualities, regardless of age, sex or the orientation of desire.
The PAPMI® initiative
The PAPMI® (Maternal and Child Psychological Support Program®) is a comprehensive care service for babies from 0 to 18 months of life that enhances their emotional development so that they grow up knowing how to relate with a secure attachment.
In addition, this program offers mothers and fathers support in parenting so that they can live this experience as unique, with keys for the correct management of babies in a period as sensitive as these first months of life.
There is an important connection between how we relate to our babies and the development of their emotional brain. The foundations of children’s relationship skills are developed in their first relationships with their mother and/or father. These experiences shape the architecture of the baby’s brain ; For this reason, Centro TAP explains to us that PAPMI® plays such an important role in the first 1000 days of its growth.
Courses and training
Furthermore, this team of professionals believes in the development of people based on experience and learning. That is why the TAP Center organizes training lines that are developed in its own center and in collaboration with other public and private entities.
They develop a continuous training plan exclusively for the center throughout the year with workshops for the development of Emotional Intelligence in fathers, mothers and children promoting healthy self-esteem, developing communication skills, and Mindfulness.
The team is a teacher in Psychology degrees and postgraduate courses at different CAM Universities They also provide training in companies, parent schools and educational centers, training parents, students and teachers. For many years they have been a center for university practices training new psychologists, and they also supervise the clinical intervention of those professionals who, despite being experienced, trust in their knowledge and experience.

On the other hand, among its permanent objectives are the need to belong to the scientific community. For this reason, the TAP Center team actively participates in Congresses and informative publications. In this way, its work philosophy becomes accessible to anyone who wants to rely on its services.
