FERRAN MASIP VALLS
PSYCHOLOGY
I am Ferran Masip, a clinical psychologist with a Master's degree from Columbia University, New York (La Caixa Scholarship).
I graduated in Psychology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and hold the Official Master's Degree Certificate in General Health Psychology, awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya. You will find me as a registered psychologist with the COPC, registration number 24,492.I have worked as a researcher and therapist at the Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, as well as a researcher at the Sleep Laboratory in the Psychology Department of the University of Melbourne, Australia.
I was a psychologist and social educator at the Cooperativa Sociale Macramè in Italy, where I worked with at-risk populations, families, and minors and collaborated on social intervention projects.
At the national level (Spain), I have held significant roles in various clinical and social settings. In Barcelona, I worked at La Modelo Prison and the Alzina and Til·lers Educational Centers for minors, and later continued collaborating with the Catalan Justice Department. Additionally, I worked at the Servei Tècnic de Punt de Trobada (STPT), focusing on family and at-risk minors' interventions.
For years, I served as the technical director of the Fundació Privada Sant Antoni Abat, where I developed projects and resources focused both on clinical intervention and particularly on assisting people at risk of social exclusion, especially former inmates and those struggling with addiction and/or homelessness.
I left the management of the Foundation to focus exclusively on individual therapy.
I focus on individual online therapy, offering a flexible and accessible solution for those seeking professional support from the comfort of their own space. I am mainly specialized in the treatment of depression and anxiety, helping my patients manage these common but debilitating conditions through personalized therapeutic approaches.
Having developed my profession and gained experience in both clinical and social settings, I now propose a primarily humanistic approach, which also draws on other schools of thought. In this way, I enjoy accompanying therapeutic processes while attending to the particularities of each case and each person.
I have a particular interest —having been one myself— in the mental health of expatriates, and I work continuously in this field, accompanying processes related to cultural adaptation, loneliness, family dynamics, and identity conflicts. This experience constitutes a central part of my current clinical practice and has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the specific challenges faced by those who live and work far from their place of origin.
At the same time, I also work with people who live their lives in high-demand and high-visibility environments —for example, professionals with great responsibility, executives, entrepreneurs, top-level artists, or other similar profiles— who often face intense pressures and the challenge of maintaining their well-being amid the demands of their careers and/or private lives.
Although these are two areas where I concentrate much of my experience, my practice is open to anyone seeking psychological support and wishing to begin a process of personal growth, self-knowledge, and emotional resilience.
At all times, I adapt to your specific needs and particular context. My clinical training allows me to address emotional difficulties within a rigorous and structured framework, while my experience in the social field, working with vulnerable populations, has given me a perspective centered on the person as a unique and multidimensional being.
With the goal of offering accessible therapy to people from different social backgrounds and income levels, I adjust the session fee according to each patient’s income and within my possibilities. The final cost will be agreed upon in a preliminary phone conversation, evaluating your situation to reach a personalized and adapted agreement. I believe in and promote self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional resilience in an integral way, adapted to each patient’s circumstances.
