Expert 1:1 Care
Getting into therapy in Spain is hard on its own. Public psychology through community mental health centers commonly runs a two-to-six-month wait for a first appointment, then spaces follow-ups a month or three apart, and private practices at 120 to 180 euros a session cluster in central Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, and Bilbao. Finding a clinician who is genuinely good is a further step. Finding one actually trained in the specific approach your situation calls for, whether that is ERP for OCD, EMDR or trauma-focused CBT for PTSD, DBT for emotion regulation and BPD, CBT for panic and depression, or focused work on grief, anger, bipolar, ADHD, an eating disorder, or a relationship in crisis, is another step again. Grouport is built for that. After a short signup you are shown therapist options fitted to your situation, you choose the clinician you would like to work with, and you typically get started within 24 to 72 hours. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions on secure HIPAA-compliant video, at $103 per session on average ($448 per month).

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face.
18.6% of Spanish adults live with a mental health condition each year, reflecting the ongoing need for accessible therapy options.
10 weeks the average wait to secure a first mental health appointment in Spain's public system, an interval during which symptoms often deepen.
$26,630 median household income in Spain, shaping what households can allocate to private mental health care.
70.5% of Spanish adults with a mental health condition do not receive formal specialist treatment.
50% of Spain's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
62.2 per 100,000 mental health workers in Spain, a density that shapes availability, wait times, and access across the country.
Read through an individual-therapy lens, Spain's numbers point toward the same conclusion: the model that fits is weekly one-on-one care with a single clinician, delivered without a months-long queue. About 6 clinical psychologists per 100,000 in the public system versus a European average near 18 means demand consistently outruns local capacity, which is why two-to-six-month waits and one-to-three-month follow-up spacing are the norm rather than the exception. High national consumption of antidepressants and anxiolytics reflects a system that reaches for medication faster than for sustained talk therapy. Grouport addresses that pattern directly by delivering weekly 45-minute individual sessions with a licensed clinician over HIPAA-compliant video, matched right away, at a flat USD subscription price.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
Spain graduates approximately 6,000 psychology students annually, one of the highest per-capita outputs in Europe, but only around 180 secure a Psicólogo Interno Residente (PIR) training place each year, the sole route to clinical practice in the SNS. The mismatch has produced a paradox: thousands of qualified professionals compete for a handful of public posts while patients wait six weeks for a first appointment. In autonomous communities like Melilla and Ceuta the ratio falls below three clinical psychologists per 100,000 residents.
For a working adult in Spain, the access gap shows up as months of untreated symptoms before care actually begins. A two-to-six-month wait for a first public appointment, followed by follow-ups spaced one to three months apart, means anxiety, low mood, or grief can escalate for a full quarter or more while daily obligations continue. Many Spain residents pay 120 to 180 euros per session privately just to be seen, an out-of-pocket load that adds up quickly across a full course of treatment. Missed workdays, disrupted sleep, and strain on family and partner relationships accumulate long before the first specialist visit. Grouport removes that opening friction: a licensed therapist is available this week, sessions are weekly rather than monthly, and pricing is a predictable USD subscription rather than accumulating per-visit fees.
Grouport is built to answer Spain's specific access reality. Rather than routing through a GP for a community mental health center referral and then months on the queue before a psychology slot opens, you sign up directly, review therapist options fitted to your situation, choose the clinician you would like to work with, and typically begin within 24 to 72 hours, with the first 45-minute session typically landing the same week. Care runs weekly with the same licensed therapist on secure HIPAA-compliant video, which is the cadence and continuity individual work on anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, panic, grief, BPD, bipolar, ADHD, anger, or a struggling relationship actually requires, rather than the one-to-three-month follow-up spacing common in the public system. Frequency is not fixed either: sessions can move up during heavier weeks with automatic discounts on every additional weekly session, drop back to every-other-week at $224 per month when things settle, and a care coordinator is available throughout for whatever a client needs along the way. Pricing is $103 per session on average ($448 per month).
50% of Spain's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Grouport loosens three specific frictions Spain residents encounter. First, the queue: public psychology waits commonly run two to six months, while Grouport matches a licensed therapist right away and books the first weekly session within days. Second, geography: with only about 6 clinical psychologists per 100,000 in the public system versus a European average of about 18, in-person specialists cluster in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, and Bilbao. Grouport's national online reach delivers the same clinician to someone in Tenerife, Menorca, Caceres, or Ceuta as to someone in the capital. Third, cost predictability: finding a licensed therapist outside the biggest metros with real weekly availability is difficult, and Grouport delivers weekly one-on-one sessions at a flat monthly USD rate.
Spain's formal mental health care sits across several layers. The National Health System, devolved to 17 autonomous communities, offers publicly funded specialist care free at point of use but routed through primary-care GP referrals to community mental health centers where psychology capacity is thin. A private sector paid out of pocket or through mutuas like Sanitas, Adeslas, and DKV absorbs the demand that the public queue cannot. Employer EAPs, university counseling for students, and NGO helplines, including the 024 suicide-prevention line launched in 2022, fill remaining gaps unevenly. Grouport sits inside that landscape as a distinct option: weekly one-on-one video sessions with a licensed therapist, matched right away after intake, at $103 per session or $448 per month on the weekly plan, without requiring a GP referral or a mutua policy.
Grouport gives Spain residents immediate access to individual therapy at $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month on the weekly plan, 50 to 60 percent below the global average of $150 to $250 per session. The every-other-week option runs $224 per month for clients who prefer a lighter cadence. Pricing is a flat USD subscription, charged monthly, with no per-visit fees, no GP referral required, and no mutua policy needed. That structure lets a Spain client plan a full course of weekly individual therapy against a single predictable monthly number rather than tracking accumulating per-session invoices.
For Spain, where GNI per capita is around $57,920 in PPP terms and out-of-pocket private therapy commonly runs 120 to 180 euros per session, Grouport's monthly subscription is designed to fit a household budget across a sustained course of care rather than a handful of visits. Weekly one-on-one therapy for a full month costs $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month on the weekly plan and $224 per month on the every-other-week plan. Because pricing is a flat USD subscription rather than per-visit billing, a Spain client knows the monthly cost in advance and can plan around it, which matters most when treatment is meant to last for months rather than weeks. Care runs continuously with the same licensed clinician for the length of the subscription, without the coverage gaps and monthly follow-ups typical of the public system.
In-person therapy in Spain carries costs that never appear on the invoice. A weekly round trip across Madrid, Barcelona, or Valencia can take 30 to 90 minutes each way on metro, cercanias, or bus, plus occasional taxi fares in bad weather. Residents of the Canaries, Balearics, or inland rural Extremadura may face far longer travel or an inter-island flight just to reach a specialist. Time out of work, childcare coverage during the appointment, and the effort of finding a licensed clinician outside central Madrid or Barcelona all add up. Private per-session billing at 120 to 180 euros per visit makes a full course of weekly care unpredictable to budget. Grouport replaces all of that with one predictable USD monthly subscription, delivered over HIPAA-compliant video from home, cancelable at any time.
Where Spain's public psychology waits commonly run two to six months for a first appointment and follow-ups are spaced one to three months apart, Grouport matches a Spain client with a licensed therapist right away and books the first 45-minute weekly video session within days. There is no GP referral, no mutua policy, and no waiting list to work through. Care starts weekly from session one and stays weekly with the same clinician, which is the cadence individual therapy is actually designed to deliver. For Spain clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week.

“Grouport is time flexible and affordable and if it didn’t exist, I don’t know where I would go. I had looked into other places before Grouport and there really wasn’t any option like it.”
Michael

“I highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or depression. The therapists are top notch and have made me feel really comfortable and my anxiety has improved tremendously in only a few sessions!”
Isabel

"I joined Grouport to work on myself and to heal. I’m learning so much at every session! The change I see not only in myself but in my fellow group members is abundantly encouraging and profoundly fulfilling. Group therapy with Grouport is a powerful healing tool."
Sheldon

“I was feeling very down at the end of 2020 and I was ready to do something drastic that I know I'd likely regret. The group definitely helped show me that there are people who feel the same way as I do.”
Nancy

“The therapy from Grouport is high quality and convenient. I am becoming much more self aware and am liking myself more. My relationships at work are better and I’m much happier.”

"Grouport's approach to DBT is a real strength. This approach provides tools and methods for working with difficult emotions and getting a handle on them. It has given me hope where other approaches have failed."

Our therapists represent a wide range of clinical specialties & diverse backgrounds. They all undergo the most stringent credentialing process. Grouport therapists are caring, expert mental health professionals with years of experience helping people get the tools they need to see long-lasting change.
Grouport's clinical bench is made up of licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, PsyDs, and PhDs, trained in the specific evidence-based approaches individual work actually calls for, ERP for OCD, EMDR and trauma-focused CBT for PTSD and complex trauma, DBT for emotion regulation and BPD, CBT for depression, panic, and generalized anxiety, exposure work for phobias, IFS and ACT for deeper values and parts work, and focused approaches for grief, anger, bipolar, ADHD, eating disorders, addiction recovery, and relationship difficulty. After a short signup you are shown therapist options fitted to your specific situation and pick the clinician you would like to work with, rather than being handed the first available name on a public roster. From there the same therapist stays with you across the arc of care, delivering weekly 45-minute one-on-one sessions on secure HIPAA-compliant video. Every session is fully confidential, and a care coordinator is available throughout to help with anything from adjusting cadence to layering in additional Grouport care.

Yes, all payment information is processed through secure payment systems that meet banking industry security standards. Your credit card information is encrypted and stored by our payment processor. Grouport staff never see or have access to your full card details, we only see the last 4 digits for billing purposes. The same security protocols used by major retailers and banks protect your payment data. You can safely update your payment method on file at any time.
No, your employer cannot see that you're using Grouport unless you tell them. Even if you're using employer-provided insurance for reimbursement, HIPAA laws prevent insurers from sharing details about your mental health care with your employer. Your employer might see that you filed an insurance claim for "mental health services," but they won't see provider details, session notes, or any information about your care. If you're paying out-of-pocket or using an HSA/FSA, there's no connection to your employer at all beyond the general use of benefits.
When you submit for insurance reimbursement, we provide a superbill that includes: your name, therapist's name and credentials, dates of services rendered, cost paid per session, and any other relevant information needed for reimbursement.
Most people have multiple issues (anxiety and relationship problems and work stress), this is totally normal. Your therapist helps prioritize which issue is causing the most distress right now, which needs immediate attention for safety, what order makes logical sense (sometimes addressing one issue resolves others), and what you feel most motivated to work on. Many issues are interconnected and working on anxiety often improves relationships while relationship therapy reduces stress. You don't need to fix everything simultaneously. Start with one primary focus and let other issues naturally emerge. Your therapist maintains awareness of all concerns even when focusing on one. Treatment plans adjust as priorities change over time.
Yes, coordinated care often provides the best outcomes. Many people see a therapist for therapy plus a psychiatrist for medication, a therapist plus a support group, individual therapy plus couples therapy, therapy plus a dietitian for eating disorder treatment, or therapy plus a medical doctor managing chronic illness. Your therapist can coordinate with other providers (with your permission) to ensure consistent treatment. Let your therapist know about all your providers so they can collaborate when helpful. Therapy integrates well with other treatments and often enhances their effectiveness. Your therapist may recommend adding specific providers if they identify needs outside their scope. Additionally, working with multiple providers can be helpful when more intensive care is needed to address pervasive symptoms.
If you're experiencing a mental health crisis between sessions (suicidal thoughts, severe panic, dangerous urges), contact your country's local emergency services or a national crisis line immediately. Nearly every country operates one, typically free and staffed 24/7. A quick internet search for 'suicide crisis line' plus your country name surfaces the current number, and your therapist can also help you save that number during your first session. These services provide the immediate help therapy cannot. You can also message your Grouport therapist through the app, but response time is typically 24-48 hours and is not appropriate for immediate crises. After the crisis passes, tell your therapist what happened in your next session. They will create a crisis plan with resources specific to where you live, coping skills, and escalation steps to use before crises reach emergency levels again.
Yes, therapy addresses loneliness through understanding barriers to connection (social anxiety, past rejection, fear of vulnerability, lack of social skills), developing social skills and conversation strategies, identifying where to meet people aligned with your interests, addressing beliefs preventing connection ("I'm not interesting," "people don't like me"), processing past relationship hurts affecting current openness, building confidence to initiate social contact, and creating accountability for trying social opportunities. Your therapist might give homework like attending events or practicing specific social behaviors. Therapy also addresses whether loneliness stems from lack of relationships or feeling disconnected in existing relationships. The therapeutic relationship itself can help you practice vulnerable connection.
Religious doubt, faith crises, conflicts between your identity and religious teachings, or pressure from religious community all create distress. Therapy provides space to explore these questions without judgment. Your therapist respects your religious background while supporting your wellbeing.
Seasonal affective disorder happens in many countries, especially those with long dark winters or extreme seasonal changes. Therapy combined with light therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication helps you manage seasonal depression. Where you live affects light exposure and seasons differently.
Grouport's individual therapy is $103 per session on average ($448/month), and we don't require proof of income — anyone who can cover the subscription can join. For members on disability benefits with tighter budgets, the every-other-week option at $224/month cuts costs roughly in half while keeping continuity with the same therapist. Many countries let disability benefits be applied toward mental health care, and some governments offer supplemental mental health support for disabled residents — your country's social services or your case worker can point you to programs specific to where you live. Our care coordinator can help you plan a sustainable fit within your monthly budget.
A standard Spanish fibre or 4G connection is more than enough. Home fibre in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville routinely delivers hundreds of megabits, and coverage extends across the Balearics and Canary Islands. Your weekly 45 minute one-on-one video session with a licensed clinician runs on HIPAA-compliant video that only needs a stable few megabits, a laptop or phone, and headphones for privacy. At $103 per weekly session or $448 per month, you can join from a flat in Chueca or a coastal apartment in Tenerife with the same reliability.
Grouport clinicians work across a wide span of hours, so evenings on mainland Spain and the Balearics (CET/CEST, UTC+1/+2) are well covered, and residents in the Canary Islands (WET/WEST, UTC+0/+1) get an extra hour of runway before US-based therapists log off. After a short intake you match with a licensed psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD or PhD and start right away, booking a recurring weekly 45 minute slot that fits your Madrid workday or your Las Palmas evening at $103 per session on average.
