“My goal when I founded the Institute was to bring Wolpe’s (1995) words to life: ‘A good therapist must be interested in human suffering and have the desire to do whatever they can to reduce that suffering.’ I have been extremely fortunate to build a team that, like myself, thinks and feels this way about psychotherapy. Helping people who place their trust in us is a responsibility we are fully aware of and one that aligns with our values. Our daily work is driven by a constant effort to stay informed about scientific research, new knowledge, and to truly connect with ‘the other’ as someone deserving of our dedication. I feel deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to create this center and to work with such a competent team, both in professional training and in human values.”

Psychology in Málaga
The Institute of Neuroscience and Health, a leading psychology center in Málaga, was founded in 1998 by Dr. Aurora Gavino, Professor at the University of Málaga and an international reference in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and therapeutic skills. The institute was created with the aim of providing a space focused on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of behavioral problems and mental health disorders. Since its beginnings, the core pillars of the institute have been a strong commitment to improving patients’ psychological well-being, scientific research, and teamwork. Our professionals dedicate all their efforts to helping patients overcome their difficulties through a rigorous, evidence-based approach, while never losing sight of the importance of humane and compassionate care, which is essential in psychotherapy.

What Do Our Patients Say?
Warm and empathetic. She asks the right questions to help you reflect on what concerns you, allows you to speak and describe how you feel. She guides you with clarity and purpose, making you feel comfortable and understood.
I felt very comfortable and in a safe environment where I could have an authentic dialogue.
She is an expert in her field, and being in expert hands gives you peace of mind and helps you continuously improve. Dedication, professionalism, and empathy, along with a close and caring approach, make working on yourself less difficult. We live on autopilot and need to wake up — and having professional support for that journey is essential.
An excellent professional and person. Attentive, understanding, and insightful.
An exceptional professional therapist. … supported me through a chronic state of suicidal ideation. I found the therapist I needed to transition my daughter’s recovery from Anorexia Nervosa and the guidance and counseling my life partner and I both needed to navigate my daughter’s recovery, my own recovery from addiction and our unhealthy/ unhappy codependent marriage. Bilingual support and cross cultural empathy was crucial for me but above all deep connection and empathy
Today was my first appointment, and I left with a very positive impression. A very warm and approachable manner, great dedication to her profession, and clear, practical guidance. Highly recommended.
I believe she is an excellent therapist. Over the past few years, I have seen her on several occasions, always with excellent results.
