Gustavo Pérez Psychologist

My name is Gustavo Pérez Domínguez. Born (1968) and raised in the Canary Islands, I graduated from High School in the USA in 1986, after a whole school-year there. I spent some time working and travelling abroad, and then earned my psychology degree from the University of Salamanca in 1993.

At the end of 1993, Spain’s Ministry of Health held its first nationwide clinical-psychologist residency exam. I ranked first and chose to train at Barcelona’s renowned Hospital Clínic, the best available position then.

From early 1994 through late 2009, I trained and worked at Hospital Clínic for three years before joining the Psychiatry Research Unit at Hospital del Mar. There, between 1998 and 2002, I conducted advanced research on personality and anxiety disorders and participated in teaching projects. In 1997 I also launched a private practice, expanding my expertise into humanistic modalities—Gestalt, existential, constructivist therapies—and mindfulness.

In 2002, I left the public system to focus entirely on private practice in Barcelona (offices at Galton & Aribau 88, later at Zenttral). In late 2009, my family and I relocated back to Gran Canaria.

Current associate of PAIME program (mental health assistance to members of College of Physicians Las Palmas)

I practice a flexible, collaborative, integrative form of psychotherapy—combining cognitive-behavioral strategies, experiential techniques, and mindfulness within a humanistic framework. My style is honest, respectful, and tailored to your needs. (Please note: I do not provide psychoanalysis, child or underage kids therapy, couples counselling or forensic evaluations.)

Though not exactly bilingual, I've been successfully conducting psychotherapies in english for the last 20 years.
