How does it work at the Psicode Institute?
These are the defining features of the Psicode Institute and its way of serving clients.
1. Teamwork
The main characteristic that defines this psychological assistance center is teamwork. All psychologists in this organization meet frequently to analyze cases and provide ideas for the best treatment. This is why work with the patient also continues outside of the therapy session.
It is key for the Psicode institute that each case is supervised anonymously by the team to guarantee the best results.

Another key to success is that the team is in continuous training. All Psicode professionals carry out training either within the Institute or outside to continually recycle their knowledge
Their work philosophy is “psychology is constantly changing, and the idea is to use the newest and most effective techniques to help patients.”
For all these reasons, although each psychologist has his own way of being and expressing himself, the working method is common. Each and every one of the 16 psychologists that make up the team present a cognitive-behavioral training base and an approach focused on finding practical and quick solutions for patients.
However, they also consider that it is important to complement this cognitive-behavioral base with other points of view, and that is why they have master’s degrees and training in other areas, such as EMDR, psychodrama, systemic therapy, mindfulness and other third generation therapies.
