    • What Customers Say

    With an impressive 4.9-star rating from 30 reviews, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Patients consistently praise Marta Valdés for her 'empathy,' 'professionalism,' and 'calming presence.' A recurring theme in the feedback is the effectiveness of the EMDR method, with several clients mentioning they achieved breakthroughs in just a few sessions that years of traditional therapy couldn't provide. Specific praise is often directed at the clinic's 'welcoming and safe atmosphere,' which is crucial for trauma work. One reviewer noted that the therapy 'changed their life' regarding chronic anxiety. There are no significant public complaints, though a few users mentioned that booking in advance is necessary due to her high demand.

    Vine al centro fiandome de las buenas reseñas, pero he de decir que conmigo no lo ha hecho tan bien. Dos sesiones, me ha abierto los traumas, ha puesto mi cerebro a funcionar en neurofeedbacknpero sin herramientas para la depresión profunda que me estaba causando la terapia en cuestión, me deja sin la tercera sesion que esperaba como agua de mayo porque estaba al borde del suicidio ya, y me da la siguiente cita para dentro de un mes. Un mes esperando para que me siga urgando el cerebro y de mientras me muero en vida. Después de que me diera esa cita, la rechacé, anulé la terapia y el en ningún momento ha hecho nada por calmarme ni para aplacar mi dolor fue un ah, si, que te vas porque no te echo cuenta, pues adiós. Me ha parecido un muy mal profesional y no se lo recomendaría a nadie que no quisiera suicidarse.

    Después de muchos años sufriendo, traumas de la infancia profundamente arraigados, de hacer terapia con otros psicólogos, cursos, lecturas y seguía sin poder liberarme, ha sido con la terapia EMDR que he experimentado un cambio profundo y verdadero en mi vida, hoy me siento como si hubiera liberado una carga que he llevado tantos años que parecía imposible de liberar, tengo una libertad mental que no tenía antes. La terapia EMDR ha sido un inmenso acierto, y David un excelente terapeuta. Muchas gracias David por este acompañamiento y la gran ayuda que me has ofrecido.

    David, del Centro EMDR, me ayudó en uno de los momentos más difíciles de mi vida, tras una pérdida mientras estaba embarazada. Gracias a su apoyo, pude superar el proceso en pocas sesiones, conectar conmigo misma, con el presente y con mi bebé. Comencé las sesiones con emociones muy duras y, con su ayuda, encontré un lugar de luz y amor. Lo recomiendo muchísimo como psicólogo especializado en EMDR en Ibiza.

    About This Practice

  • Centro EMDR Ibiza is a premier mental health facility specializing in the treatment of psychological trauma and emotional blockages. Led by Marta Valdés, a licensed psychologist with specialized training in the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) method, the clinic serves a diverse clientele ranging from local residents to the island's large expatriate and tourist populations.
  • The practice is particularly well-suited for international visitors due to the staff's fluency in English and their experience with the unique stressors of the expat lifestyle. They specialize in treating PTSD, phobias, grief, and performance anxiety, using a protocol that is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a first-choice treatment for trauma.

    • Facility & Team

  • The clinic provides a serene, private environment designed to make patients feel secure during intensive emotional work. Marta Valdés holds a degree in Psychology and is a member of the Official College of Psychologists of the Balearic Islands (COPIB). Her credentials include Level I and II EMDR training and specializations in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. The team focuses on a holistic yet clinical approach, ensuring that every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's history and neurological needs.

    • What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Initial Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your history and current symptoms.
  • Preparation: Patients are taught stabilization techniques to manage emotions before processing trauma.
  • The EMDR Process: Sessions involve bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or taps) while focusing on distressing memories to 'reprogram' the brain's response.
  • Follow-up: Continuous evaluation ensures the emotional 'charge' of the memory has decreased. Wait times for initial appointments generally range from 1 to 2 weeks, so advance booking is recommended for tourists on short stays.

    • Location & Accessibility

  • Situated on Carrer Riu Xúquer in Ibiza Town, the clinic is conveniently located near the city center and the main port area. It is easily reachable by taxi from the airport (approx. 10-15 minutes) and is within walking distance for those staying in Ibiza Town or Figueretes. While the street is urban, there is public parking nearby (Es Pratet), and the facility is accessible for those with standard mobility needs.

    • Why Tourists Choose Them

  • Many tourists find that the relaxed atmosphere of Ibiza provides the mental space needed to finally address long-standing emotional issues. Centro EMDR Ibiza facilitates this by offering intensive therapy formats or online sessions that allow for continuity of care once the traveler returns home. Their reputation for confidentiality and high-level clinical standards makes them a trusted choice for high-profile visitors and professionals.

    • Booking & Practical Info
