Gemma Costa | Psychologist in Girona

I am Gemma Costa (Col. 27.855), a psychologist specialized in trauma, therapy with adults, with advanced training in systemic family therapy, mediation, and forensic psychology. My professional profile is characterized by an integrative and in-depth approach to conflict, combining an understanding of the impact of trauma on the individual with a systemic view of relational and family dynamics. I work from a 360º perspective that encompasses everything from individual distress to highly complex situations in family and judicial contexts.

As a prominent expert in trauma and family therapy, my practice focuses on strengthening relational bonds and resolving dysfunctional dynamics from a consolidated systemic approach. My intervention is based on methodological rigor, a deep understanding of human nature, and a firm commitment to the well-being of the people I accompany.

Main areas of intervention

• Family therapy: From a systemic approach, I specialize in family therapy, with a consolidated track record in Girona. I accompany adults and young people in crisis situations to rebuild effective communication, resolve interpersonal conflicts, and foster emotional intimacy, using advanced techniques based on scientific evidence that facilitate the healing of relational wounds, such as deep disagreements and rooted dysfunctional patterns. In addition, in family therapy, I prioritize the integration of all members of the family system, intervening sensitively in aspects such as parenting, life transitions, and intergenerational conflicts, with the aim of promoting mutual growth, restoring dynamic balance, and cultivating a sustainable and enriching relational harmony.

• Psychotherapy for adolescents and adults: From a systemic approach, I accompany patients in understanding their personal and relational dynamics. I am specially trained in trauma treatment through proven effective methodologies such as EMDR and Wingwave Coaching, facilitating the overcoming of adverse experiences and the recovery of emotional balance. Likewise, I use EMDR for the treatment of complex traumas, insomnia, and other trauma-related disorders, promoting a holistic integration of emotional well-being and long-term resilience.

• Mediation and parenting coordination: As a registered mediator at the Centre de Mediació de Catalunya, I design and facilitate conflict resolution processes, especially in contexts of separation or divorce. My experience as a parenting coordinator allows me to manage high-conflict cases, always prioritizing the protection and best interests of minors.

• Forensic psychology and judicial expert reports: I provide expert analysis before the courts as a forensic psychologist, specialized in the field of family law. I prepare exhaustive expert reports for cases of:

  • Assessment of psychological abuse.
  • Suitability and assignment of guardianship and custody of minors.
  • Establishment of the most appropriate visitation regime.
  • Challenge of guardianships.
  • Marriage annulment processes.
