    (Translated by Google) We have been very disappointed with the service they have given us. They are very focused on business and winning with the patient. In our case, we were not informed a priori of the costs that the service could cause until we went through the cash register on the first appointment (€85). Then they took out their cryptic to say that before starting therapy, we had to do x meetings and the bill amounted to about €400. It's a shame that they put FOCUS on business and not on people. I hope it helps so that no one falls like us. (Original) Hemos quedado muy defraudados con el servicio que nos han dado. Están muy enfocados a negocio y ganar con el paciente. En nuestro caso no nos informaron apriori de los costes que el servicio podía causar hasta que pasamos por caja en la primera cita (85€). Después sacaron su críptico para decir que antes de empezar la terapia, teníamos que hacer x reuniones y la factura ascendia a cerca de 400€. Es una pena que pongan FOCO en negocio y no en las personas. Espero que sirva de ayuda para que nadie caiga como nosotros.

    I have been lucky enough to take a course on Psychoeducation with them in recent weeks and I loved it. In addition to having learned a lot, it has given me a better vision and tools to put into practice. I found it very complete and enjoyable. Even with the technical part, Manuel facilitated everything at an organizational level, he always cared about answering all my questions, he had the links ready, he sent the extra material that I requested, etc. It is a pleasure to have someone so decisive and empathetic on hand, especially when you are a little more vulnerable in certain aspects. Thanks to Javier and Manuel for this complete course.

    (Translated by Google) First of all, I would like to thank Silvia, one of the psychologists, for her work, because it seems that she is one of the few people at Focus with a minimum of empathy and willingness to help. Secondly, you should be ashamed to take advantage of people's needs and problems like this. Both I and several people around me go to psychologists and we have never been charged for visits that we have not been able to go to. In fact, in my case they have even given me sessions without paying because they knew I needed them and it was not within my reach. You should know that you do not lose money when a patient does not come to an appointment, but simply stop earning it (which seems to be the only thing that interests them since they even lose all the assertiveness that they talk about so much when it comes to money). When you don't go to an appointment with a dentist you are not charged so I don't see anything different here, if they are so interested in money they should have chosen another profession, one where they do not play with people's mental health, banker for example. Finally, nothing more to add. If you are a patient looking for help, you should know that they are going to charge you even for breathing the air in the consultation, for making the diagnosis, for the consultation (go or not), for the courses, mindfulness and for all the assertiveness and sandwiches that They sell you but then they don't know (or don't want to) use when the patient needs it. (Original) En primer lugar agradecer la labor de Silvia, una de las psicólogas, porque parece ser que es de las pocas personas de Focus con un mínimo de empatía y de ganas de ayudar. En segundo lugar, debería daros vergüenza aprovecharos así de la necesidad de la gente y de sus problemas. Tanto yo como varias personas de mi entorno acudimos a psicólogos y jamás se nos ha cobrado por visitas a las que no hemos podido ir. De hecho en mi caso han llegado a darme sesiones sin pagar porque sabían que las necesitaba y no estaba a mi alcance. Deberían ustedes saber que no pierden dinero cuando un paciente no acude a una cita sino que simplemente dejan de ganarlo (cosa que parece ser la única que les interesa ya que incluso pierden toda la asertividad de la que tanto hablan cuando de dinero se trata). Cuando no acudes a una cita con un dentista no se te cobra así que no veo aquí nada de diferente, si tanto les interesa el dinero deberían haber escogido otra profesión, una en donde no se juegue con la salud mental de la gente, banquero por ejemplo. En fin, nada más que añadir. Si eres un paciente buscando ayuda deberías saber que te van a cobrar hasta por respirar el aire de la consulta, por hacerte el diagnóstico, por la consulta (vayas o no), por los cursillos, el mindfulness y por toooda la asertividad y sándwiches que te venden pero que luego no saben (o no quieren) utilizar cuando el paciente lo necesita.

    I went to Focus with my partner and after several sessions, including a change of therapist, they told me that I had to undergo a psychological evaluation which amounted to 1,400 euros. Since I already have my therapist aside, I asked them if a report could be useful and they said no. It did not seem honest or professional to me because if so they could have informed me from the beginning of the therapy, which they did not do. I do not recommend them, it seems to me that they have a rather dubious code of ethics.

    Unidad Focus has given our family a before and after. They have helped us understand ADHD, accept the diagnosis and most importantly, they have helped my son understand what is happening to him, they have provided him with many tools that he and the entire family use in their daily lives. Thank you to the wonderful professionals who make up Unidad Focus for being, in addition to magnificent professionals, better people, for always being by my son's side and for making us see how they have made us see what is really important and what really adds up. Your experience and dedication make you unique. Thank you also for your study techniques, they have been of great help but above all thank you for changing our lives

    (Translated by Google) My experience is being very good, especially due to the unconditional involvement of Xabi Pensado one of the psychologists, he has been an immense support when it seemed that everything was falling. The spectacular change at home and my son's self-esteem getting stronger. The road is long and sometimes the light is not seen, but the fruits arrive. My appreciation also to Silvia, another of the psychologists, for welcoming us with so much love and care. Thanks to Focus another look at ADHD is possible. Thanks to all the FOCUS team (Original) Mi experiencia está siendo muy buena, sobre todo por la implicación incondicional de Xabi Pensado uno de los psicólogos, ha sido un apoyo inmenso cuando parecía que todo se caía. El cambio en casa espectacular y la autoestima de mi hijo cada vez más fuerte. El camino es largo y a veces no se ve la luz, pero los frutos llegan. Mi reconocimiento también a Silvia, otra de las psicólogas, por acogernos con tanto cariño y cuidado. Gracias a Focus otra mirada ante el TDAH es posible. Gracias a todo el equipo de FOCUS

    They are people of flesh and blood, people who have lived stories that cannot sleep and with this have studied and achieved such well-deserved titles. They are one of the few who know how to encompass our conditions, always taking care of our inner self. Yes, they have to charge because otherwise how would they pay the expenses of their centers, or the salaries of their professionals... Still, let no one put their tongues out saying that without money they don't help us and they leave you aside. That is not true... My family and I do not have the money to face expenses like that, but they have not abandoned me, Javier Estevez in particular supports us and helps us as he can in a more personal and private way, and perhaps he does not give us a intense 4-hour therapy but with every word and moment he dedicates to us, he helps us very significantly in our lives without taking a single euro out of it... They are the milk and should be known throughout the world, creating a bond with everyone they meet. along the way fit to play the role of guide for anyone else. The world needs more people like this so that everyone can live in the same conditions. Thanks Focus, never stop!

    (Translated by Google) We have arrived with our son at Focus after 19 years of difficult understanding. At first it was very difficult to understand his methodology, so different from other professionals we had visited. After a year of visits we began to see the transformation and now we can enjoy a healthy and growing relationship, her future oriented and her much improved spirits. It was difficult, but truly effective. Thanks to Javier Estévez, the teachers and Xabi, especially. There is no doubt about the commitment of all of them. (Original) Hemos llegado con nuestro hijo a Focus después de 19 años de difícil entendimiento. Al principio fue muy complicado comprender su metodología tan diferente de otros profesionales que habíamos visitado. Tras un año de visitas empezamos a ver la transformación y ahora podemos disfrutar de una relación sana y en crecimiento, su futuro orientado y su ánimo muy mejorado. Fue difícil, pero verdaderamente eficaz. Gracias a Javier Estévez, los profes y Xabi, especialmente. No hay duda del compromiso de todos ellos.

    (Translated by Google) It is a great team. They have proven experience and training and, at the same time, are prone to innovation. Without a doubt, they are a reference on the regional and national scene. For this reason, it is a safe bet for those people interested in its services, both face-to-face and online.

    I have been in therapy with Patricia Serra for a few months and I feel great with her. I feel like he understands me at all times, which seems fundamental to me in therapy. Its approach does not focus on applying certain tricks but rather on learning to identify problems and face them with a base of knowledge that I find very interesting. The management and attention by Unidad Focus is very efficient and communication with them is very fluid.

  • 5/5 Dovilė B. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    I would 100% recommend Unidad Focus to anyone looking for psychological help. I had an excellent experience with the psychologist Patricia Serra. She has been an excellent support when it seemed like my whole world was falling. We had made a connection from a first meeting. His positive attitude and ability to notice the smallest things continue to help me greatly in my journey to improve.

  • 5/5 ASOCIACIÓN TDAH TALAVERA A. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Professionals like few others in Spain. They make their diagnoses even if you have another one, and it is normal, because they must evaluate the patient to be able to care for them and ensure that their treatment gives the best results. The best money spent on professionals who know very well what they do to obtain very good results. I wish there were professionals like you in all of Spain. In our association, the members who have contacted Unidad Focus tell us that it has been a before and after in understanding and knowing how to deal with the difficulties that their children or sometimes themselves presented, that their lives have changed and they face the difficulties with tools and knowing what happens, why and how to act to help or, if it is them, how to deal with it.

  • 5/5 javier m. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    A before and after meeting Unidad Focus and Javier Estevez. We were taught to accept, not change. They have helped us on this path that we have had to live to have the necessary tools to, as Javier says, become a port and be there for everything you need. They have taught us to know their needs, not ours, and to differentiate them and to be happy. Professionals who live to help ADHD and their families of which there are few. You were my lifesaver when life became so difficult. I HAVE NO WORDS OF THANK YOU FOR THOSE GREAT PROFESSIONALS AND BEST PEOPLE WHO FORM THE FOCUS UNIT, WHO GO OUT FOR THE JOB THEY LOVE.
