The Psychological Center Cepsim

Cepsim is one of centers with more trajectory and projection of Madrid.It attends for more than 30 years and has been growing, being already 16 the professionals that form the team.

This opening is included within a group of centers where about 250 people are currently attended, with the most frequent problems such as depression, anxiety, phobias, life crises, among others, including those who have more difficulties to go to the clinic such as addictions or personality disorders.

The experience of these years has made us reflect on the human being, its peculiarities, recognizing that all people need similar things, which help us to grow and develop but not in the same way, and how psychological problems appear when this does not occur in a favorable direction for us.

For this reason, we rely on a holistic, integrative work, that considers the person as a whole that works as a whole.We are committed to an integrative team that includes psychologists trained in a variety of theories and techniques, from the most classical to the most innovative: cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, psychodynamic therapy and psychodynamic therapy.

Thus, we are committed to an integrated team where there are psychologists trained in various theories and techniques, from the most classical to the most innovative: cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and gestalt therapy, systemic therapy, EMDR, among others. This allows our professionals to have a global vision, to intervene at various levels.

In addition, our experience has confirmed that people are not affected in the same way by the same things and this is also true for psychological techniques. In our work, we therapists adjust ourselves to the patients and not the other way around; in order to be able to adapt the treatments to the needs of each person in the most effective way.

Therefore, from the first interview, we select the professional who can best fit each case.and the patient can choose to change if desired.

This flexibility is achieved thanks to the variety of trainings that are a prerequisite for Cepsim's psychologists, who have in-house continuing education in the latest advances in psychology, being their commitment to continue updating their knowledge. In fact, the Cepsim team has its own track record in scientific and popularization publications.

About the therapies

In Cepsim we are specialists in various disorders and psychological problems such as anxiety, phobias, depression, family and couple problems, eating problems, sexual problems, addictions, trauma, grief, anger management, personality disorders, bereavement, phobias, abuse, emotional dependency, psychological support to the LGBT community among other problems. We also provide guidance in different processes and decision making.

But in this presentation, we want to highlight our Specialized Trauma Unit. When we have lived through a specific trauma (sexual abuse, bullying or mobbing, or mistreatment, natural disasters) or suffered traumas in childhood; there is information stored in our mind, which cannot be integrated in an adaptive way, it remains emotionally active, causing all kinds of symptoms and discomfort in the present, when apparently, everything is going well in life.

For this we count on and combine traditional therapies with the latest psychological techniques and procedures, very effective in reducing the emotional load so that the information is integrated in a more adaptive way through the processing of that information, such as EMDR, hypnosis, re-scripting, narrative therapy, the Internal Family System or treatment models of dissociation. Thus, the team has extensive knowledge and experience of post-traumatic stress and dissociation.

We are aware that this can only occur when a quality therapeutic relationship, based on trust, respect, authenticity and acceptance, is established. a quality therapeutic relationship, based on trust, respect, authenticity and non-judgmental acceptance. without judgment. Many patients come to consultation with shame, fear, rejection or guilt, when telling what ails them. We try to make therapy a safe and empathic space to address their problems. In this sense, we give great importance to the relationship that is established between each therapist and each patient, who collaborate together looking for recovery as the main goal, seeking the relief of suffering in all its aspects.

Also We are also aware that each person is uniqueTherefore, the treatment is personalized, that is, adjusted to each person, to their needs and demands, and taking into account their history, their character, their personal situation when they come. People who come to change their behavior do not require the same therapy as those who want to understand who they are.

Sometimes it will be necessary to assess the impact that thoughts and behaviors have on a person's life and relationships, so that they can modify them effectively.

At other times it will be more important to give space to their emotions, to what the things that happen to them mean, or to understand why they behave as they do instead of repeating automatisms.

For all these reasons, therapists have a flexible attitude with respect to their techniques and theoretical models, since the priority is the patient's well-being. The results are expected and visible in the short term, generate greater authenticity and enjoyment, as well as expand the resources we all have to face the different challenges that life puts in front of us.

Training Services
