Instituto Gestalt de Canarias

What Instituto Gestalt de Canarias does

Instituto Gestalt de Canarias, operating under its legal entity Instituto Canario de Psicoterapia, is a privately held psychology and mental health practice headquartered at Calle Mesa de León, 4 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. It holds Sanitary Registry No. 4623 from the Canary Islands Health Service (Servicio Canario de la Salud) and is directed by María Jesús Armas Acosta. The practice delivers in-person services from a single Las Palmas clinic and supplements them with online video sessions extending its reach across the Canary Islands and internationally. Its core technology is the Gestalt therapy methodology — a humanized, evidence-informed psychotherapy framework emphasizing awareness and presence — applied to individual adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, and complemented by adjacent clinical disciplines.

The offering spans psychology, psychiatry, family medicine, physiotherapy, midwifery, yoga, and business consulting, providing an integrated clinical menu rather than a single-discipline practice. Beyond direct clinical care, the institute operates an educational business line including Gestalt therapy professional training (adult and child/adolescent specializations), supervision groups in Las Palmas and Lanzarote, monographic workshops, webinars, and the National Professional Gestalt Therapy Days conference in Gran Canaria. Recurring weekly therapeutic groups (psychotherapy, movement therapy, self-esteem, mindfulness, adolescent, and birth preparation) provide ongoing engagement and revenue. The team comprises approximately 14-15 licensed professionals spanning the listed disciplines, per company commentary.

The business model is professional services with quote-based, appointment-driven pricing — clients book via website contact form, phone, or email for either in-person or online sessions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue derives from individual psychotherapy sessions, specialized medical consultations, weekly group programs (recurring), training and educational programs (workshops, supervision, conferences, webinars), and corporate consulting. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supported by word-of-mouth referrals (explicitly captured as 'Amigos y conocidos' in the booking form), local SEO targeting 'Psicólogos Las Palmas' queries, organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram, and a content marketing blog. No institutional funding, no acquisitions, and no parent company structure are indicated.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Quirónsalud: Largest private hospital group in Spain, including psychiatric and mental health services in its specialty portfolio. Broad incumbent because it offers overlapping mental health services but at much larger scale and as part of a general hospital network.
• Sanitas (Bupa): Major Spanish health insurer and provider with a wide portfolio that includes mental health services and online therapy access. Broad incumbent because it overlaps on mental health delivery but as part of a much larger insurance and provider ecosystem rather than a specialist Gestalt clinic.

Emerging players

• Meditopia: Global wellness and mindfulness subscription app operating in multiple languages including Spanish. Emerging player because it competes for the same end client seeking mindfulness and emotional well-being, but at a much lower price point and via a digital-only model.
• TherapyChat: Spain-headquartered online therapy platform connecting users to licensed psychologists via chat and video. Emerging player because it competes for the same psychotherapy demand but via a scalable digital model rather than a single clinic.
• ifeel: Spanish online therapy subscription service offering unlimited chat-based sessions with licensed psychologists. Emerging player because it addresses the same outpatient mental health need via a digital subscription model that competes for the same end client.

Regional players

• Mejorate Online: Spain-based online psychology and psychotherapy service focused on Spanish-speaking markets. Regional player because it competes in outpatient mental health but operates across Spain and Latin America rather than concentrated in the Canary Islands.

Others

• Doctoralia: Online healthcare marketplace in Spain where patients book appointments with mental health professionals. Adjacent enabler because it acts as a distribution channel that could substitute for the institute's own booking funnel rather than competing directly on therapy delivery.

Direct peers

• Instituto Gestalt de Madrid: Madrid-based Gestalt therapy institute offering psychotherapy, training, and supervision with a comparable humanistic methodology. Direct peer because it competes for Gestalt-trained practitioners and therapy/training clients in the Spanish market using a similar practitioner-led, multi-service model.
• Instituto Español de Terapia Gestalt: Spanish institute dedicated to training and dissemination of Gestalt therapy, including practitioner certifications. Direct peer because it competes for the same Gestalt training cohort and produces alumni who could substitute for Instituto Gestalt de Canarias's training program.
• Centro de Terapia Gestalt: Spanish psychotherapy center focused on Gestalt therapy and related humanistic approaches. Direct peer because it targets the same therapy modality and client demographic, with overlapping training and supervision offerings.
