Expert 1:1 Care
Individual therapy in Spain shouldn't mean waiting two to six months for a first appointment through the public system or hunting for an English-speaking clinician outside central Madrid. Grouport connects Spain residents with a licensed therapist for weekly one-on-one video sessions of 45 minutes, at $103 per session or $448 per month on the weekly plan. Online therapy Spain works across mainland Iberia, the Balearics, the Canary Islands, and Ceuta and Melilla, so a resident of Palma, Las Palmas, or rural Extremadura sees the same clinician as someone in the capital. Sessions run over HIPAA-compliant video in English, matched right away after a short intake, so you can book this week rather than sit on a waitlist.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face across the state.
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 50 to 80 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's model of online one-on-one therapy directly eases the pressures inside Spain's mental health system. Instead of waiting on a primary-care referral to a community mental health center and then months for a psychology slot, a Spain resident is matched with a licensed clinician right away and starts weekly 45-minute video sessions. The same therapist stays with the client from session one through the full course of care, so progress is continuous rather than fragmented by the 1-to-3-month follow-up gaps common in the public system. Each session is private, tailored to the individual, and delivered over HIPAA-compliant video in English at $103 per session on the weekly plan or every other week. That gives Spain clients predictable structure and clinical continuity from the first week forward.

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, language and cost predictability: for the large English-speaking expat, digital-nomad, retiree, and international-student population, finding a licensed English-speaking therapist outside the biggest metros is difficult, and Grouport delivers English-language 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, delivered in English, 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 50 to 80 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 $448 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 English-speaking clinician outside central Madrid or Barcelona all add up. Private per-session billing at 50 to 80 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.

Stephanie

“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.”
Emily

“I like the connection you can make with total strangers and the confidentiality it comes with.”
Danielle

"Grouport can help you with your issues. Their therapists are well trained to work with you on your issues. I felt my anxiety greatly improve after only a few sessions. I highly recommend it!"

"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 roster is made up of licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, PsyDs, and PhDs who deliver one-on-one therapy over HIPAA-compliant video. Sessions run in English and are booked directly with the same clinician each week, so a Spain client works with one therapist across the full course of care rather than a rotating panel. Grouport clinicians work with clients across many countries and are experienced with the specific patterns of international life: relocation, remote work across time zones, extended time away from family, cross-cultural relationships, and building a life outside one's country of origin. After a short intake, a client is matched right away with a therapist whose experience and approach fit the situation. All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and fully confidential.
Group, individual, couples, family, IOP, and teen therapy — all online, all therapist-led. Mix and match care options to fit your needs — and get discounted pricing when you bundle.

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.
Our care coordinators can help you figure out the right fit. During intake, you'll answer a few questions about what you're working on, how it's affecting your life, and what kind of support you're looking for. If individual therapy is the right fit, we'll match you with a therapist. If a different service would help you more (Grouport also offers online group therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and an intensive outpatient program), we'll direct you to that option. There's no obligation and no cost to explore what's right for you.
Weekly sessions are the standard for individual therapy and what most Grouport clients start with. This cadence gives you enough time between sessions to try what you're working on in the real world, while keeping the momentum of the therapeutic work. Every-other-week sessions are available at a reduced monthly rate ($224/month) once you and your therapist agree that pacing fits your needs. Twice-weekly is available for clients in more acute stages of work at additional cost. You and your therapist decide what cadence fits.
Generally no. Working with two therapists at the same time (one online, one in-person) can create conflicting therapeutic direction and dilute the effectiveness of both. If you're transitioning from an in-person therapist and want to try online with Grouport, or vice versa, that's fine — many clients do. But sustained parallel therapy with two therapists is not recommended. If you need specialty care that your primary therapist doesn't offer (e.g., a psychiatrist for medication), that's a different situation, and coordinated care is welcomed.
This is so rare that it almost never happens. In the very rare chance it does, talk to the therapist and talk to our care coordination staff if it happens. They will assist you and If you’re not comfortable in the group, you can always switch individual sessions at any time. In the end of the day, the main thing that we’ll work with you on is to ensure that you're happy with your group fit.
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.
You might qualify for Medicaid depending on your state. Some therapists offer sliding scale for people on fixed incomes. Community mental health centers often serve people on disability. Free support groups exist for various conditions. It's harder to access therapy on limited income, but options exist. Research local resources for low-income mental health care. At Grouport we offer affordable therapy options like group therapy and individual therapy. Our groups cost only $25/session - $35/session depending on which group you sign up for.
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 to 50 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 to 50 minute slot that fits your Madrid workday or your Las Palmas evening at $103 per session.
