Toñi Alcaide
Hi, I’m Toñi Alcaide Ortega, a licensed clinical psychologist (AO14422) accredited by the Official College of Psychology of Eastern Andalusia. I specialise in psychological therapy with children and adolescents, and I also have training in Contextual and Behavioural Therapy, Eating Disorders, sleep disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions (ASD and ADHD).
Although I have broad experience working with adults (anxiety, depression, and eating disorders), my career has become deeply specialised in the child and adolescent stage, with a particular focus on the ASD population.
I have always been an observant and sensitive person; I knew early on that my purpose was to help others reach their full potential. I am defined by curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning — I constantly research and study in order to offer the highest technical quality to those who place their trust in me.
About me
I studied psychology at the University of Málaga, after which I began volunteering at the Red Cross, supporting one of the organisation’s psychologists in her work with newly arrived immigrants in Spain.
I completed a University Master’s in Psychological Therapy with Children and Adolescents at the International University of La Rioja, alongside a Master’s in Mediation at the University of Málaga. Once I had finished these programmes, I began working in home-based therapy with children with ASD using ABA Therapy, while simultaneously studying for the Master’s in General Health Psychology at UNIR.
I currently divide my professional work between Integria Psicología and a specialist centre in Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Torre del Mar.
In both settings, my priority is to respect the individual pace of each patient and their family.
How do I work at Integria Psicología?
I understand therapy as a deeply human process that goes far beyond labels and diagnoses. The heart of my practice is therefore centred on building a solid and genuine therapeutic relationship — creating a space of absolute safety, naturalness, and honesty where you feel truly heard and free from judgement.
My way of working is grounded in three pillars: the human bond built on trust, a challenge-focused approach to working on the real difficulties of your daily life by analysing the factors that influence your wellbeing, and achieving your autonomy through acquiring the tools you need so that, at your own pace, you develop the independence and confidence to face whatever challenges life may bring in the future.
My methodology does not seek to put you in a box — instead, we work together analysing the factors and elements that influence your wellbeing and allow us to strengthen your own capabilities.
