Psychiatry
Outpatient psychiatric care provides diagnostic, pharmacological treatment, and follow-up services based on the latest scientific knowledge.
Neuropsychology
The neuropsychology service assesses and treats brain-related cognitive and emotional disorders resulting from psychological or neurological conditions, using tests and personalised interventions to optimise mental functions and improve the individual's quality of life. It addresses areas such as memory, attention, language, perception, and executive functions.
Psychology and psychotherapy
Psychology and psychotherapy offer professional and confidential support to understand and resolve emotional, behavioural, and relational difficulties or to carry out treatment for a diagnosis. Through tailored therapeutic approaches, they foster mental well-being, personal growth, and the development of appropriate problem-solving strategies.
Nursing care
Somatic and psychiatric nursing care combines a holistic approach to provide comprehensive care to the individual, taking into account both physical and mental health needs, in close collaboration with ongoing therapeutic follow-ups.
Complementary approaches
Complementary approaches are at the heart of integrative care. They encompass a range of paramedical practices used alongside traditional approaches. They aim for synergy with first-line therapies to promote health, relieve symptoms, and improve well-being.
Almaval is a centre of excellence in psychiatry, neuropsychology, psychology, and integrative psychotherapy, benefiting from a privileged setting.
Through a holistic approach based on different therapeutic methods, on the resources of nature and movement, the therapists aim to help each person regain control of their life through personalised care tailored to their request.
