Psychologists specializing in anxiety disorders in Barcelona

Anxiety is a natural response of the body to situations perceived as threatening, but when it becomes chronic or disproportionate, it can significantly interfere with your quality of life. Many people who come to our practice in Barcelona feel exhausted, disconnected, fearful about the future, or blocked by recurring negative thoughts. This experience is more common than you might think — and it has a solution.

Common symptoms of anxiety disorders

Anxiety can manifest in many different ways. Some of the most frequent symptoms we treat in our practice include:

• Excessive worry about everyday or future situations, even without clear reasons.
• Constant feeling of alertness or difficulty relaxing.
• Intense fear or panic attacks that appear suddenly.
• Insomnia or poor-quality, unrestful sleep.
• Difficulty concentrating or experiencing a “blank mind.”
• Physical symptoms (somatization), when emotions are felt in the body as tension, pain, pressure, etc.ç
• Avoiding places, people, or activities out of fear of feeling unwell.
• Eating-related symptoms, such as overeating or binge eating to cope with anxiety.ç
• Use of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana.

If you recognize yourself in any of these symptoms, you may be experiencing an anxiety disorder. And most importantly: there are ways to address it and improve.

At Clínica Art, every therapeutic process is tailored to the individual. We know that no two people are alike, which is why we don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach or generic formulas. We accompany you with sensitivity and commitment, helping you move forward at your own pace, with practical tools and a safe space to explore what you are going through.

Our approach is integrative and grounded mainly in relational psychodynamic, systemic, and humanistic orientations. What sets us apart is our teamwork under constant supervision, as well as the fact that all our treatments are based on solid scientific evidence.

We have a team of licensed health psychologists with specialized training in the treatment of anxiety disorders and extensive experience supporting people like you. All of our professionals are psychotherapists in ongoing training, with real clinical expertise both in generalized anxiety and in more specific symptoms related to other psychological conditions.

Given our relational focus, we place special emphasis on the therapeutic bond: we listen without judgment, give you space to be yourself, and guide you with respect and clarity at every step of the process. Moreover, we work from the therapeutic relationship itself, where the bond is not only a support for the process but also a source of therapeutic work in its own right.

At Proyecto ART, we believe that the environment and the quality of support are just as important as the therapeutic technique itself. Our two clinics, located in the heart of Barcelona and easily accessible, are designed so that therapy can become a natural part of your routine.

The spaces, with a simple yet carefully considered design, combine light, harmony, and comfort, allowing you to disconnect from the city’s pace the moment you step inside. The atmosphere is completed with details that reflect our commitment to your wellbeing: specialty coffee, fresh fruit, a warm approach, and a team that genuinely cares about every step of your process. It’s not just about attending a session—it’s about finding a place where you feel welcomed, safe, and truly heard from the very first moment.

You will have a dedicated therapist as your point of reference, while also benefiting from the support of an interdisciplinary clinical team. We meet weekly to review cases, supervise therapeutic work, and ensure that every treatment is rigorous, ethical, and fully personalized.

Seeking help is an important step. Choosing a professional with specific experience in anxiety can make a real difference in your process. At Proyecto ART, we work with contemporary psychodynamic models (such as Relational Psychoanalysis or Mentalization-Based Therapy), which allow us to address anxiety with greater depth and sensitivity.

A psychologist specialized in anxiety understands the emotional and relational mechanisms that sustain it, knows how to adapt the approach to each individual case, and recognizes when factors such as trauma, depression, or high sensitivity need to be integrated into treatment.

Common cases we treat include:

• Generalized anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Social anxiety
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety in adolescents and young adults

What can you expect from the process?
Many people begin to feel relief from the very first sessions, whether because they find a safe space to express what they feel for the first time or because they start to understand their experience from a new perspective.

Our goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but to help you explore the roots of your anxiety, understand how it manifests in your life, and identify what fuels it. We work so that you can relate to your anxiety in a freer and more sustainable way, developing practical tools and cultivating greater emotional awareness. Over time, our aim is that you not only feel less anxious, but also gain confidence in your ability to manage it and reclaim a sense of control and wellbeing in your daily life.
