At the AGEL Canarias Psychology Unit, we offer a comprehensive and specialized approach to mental health care at all stages of life. Under the direction of Carmen M. Monagas Valls and Alba Alayón Afonso, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care, adapted to the psychological and emotional needs of our patients, from children and adolescents to adults and individuals affected by chronic illnesses such as cancer.
Child and Adolescent Care
In the Child and Adolescent Psychology Service, we focus on healthy development and early prevention of emotional and psychological problems. We know that childhood and adolescence are critical stages in life, and our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where young people can express their emotions and resolve conflicts. We address a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, school difficulties, and self-esteem issues. Our team works closely with families, as we understand the importance of a joint approach between parents and therapists to ensure the well-being of young people.
Adult Psychology
The Adult Psychology Service aims to help adults overcome emotional and psychological challenges, promoting long-term mental well-being. We address disorders such as anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and other mental health-related problems. We also work on the prevention of these disorders, helping our patients develop effective coping strategies and manage stress. Our therapeutic approach is completely personalized, adapted to the individual needs of each person and their personal and professional context, with the aim of improving their quality of life.
Psycho-oncology
The AGEL Canarias Psycho-oncology Service offers specialized emotional support to cancer patients and their families. Cancer not only affects the body, but also the mental and emotional well-being of those who suffer from it and their environment. In this service, we provide psychological support throughout all phases of the oncological process, from initial diagnosis to recovery. Our team helps patients face the stress, anxiety, and emotional changes that arise throughout treatment, fostering resilience and a positive attitude. In addition, we offer guidance and support to family members and caregivers, ensuring they also receive the necessary tools to manage their emotions during this difficult process.
