Francisco Javier Galicia Berges

Sr. Francisco Javier (Xavier) Galicia Berges is a clinical child and adolescent psychologist (psicologo clinico infanto-juvenil) practising in Barcelona. He is the founding partner of Grup Galicia-Guillen Psicolegs Associats and runs the Servei d'Especialitats Psicologiques de Barcelona (SEPB) on Avinguda Diagonal, where he sees Sanitas patients. Num. Col·legiat 1284.

Areas of practice

Sr. Galicia's day-to-day clinical work covers the full span of paediatric and adolescent mental health, including behavioural problems, parent-child relationship difficulties, anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, phobias, stress and panic attacks. He also offers psychoeducation for families and treats adolescents and adults. His practice is built around cognitive-behavioural therapy, family therapy and couples therapy, with a strong emphasis on personalised, multi-disciplinary care.

SEPB is structured into five departments covering clinical psychology, psychiatry, educational psychology (psicopedagogia), speech therapy (logopedia) and parent training, allowing referrals across specialists when a case calls for it. The group has been working in Barcelona for over three decades and operates a second consulting site at the Centro Medico Teknon (Quironsalud), where Sr. Galicia has attended patients since 1994.

The clinic sits on the Diagonal between Placa Francesc Macia and the Zona Universitaria, a short walk from L3 (Maria Cristina) and well served by buses H8, V7 and 33.

Booking through Sanitas

Sanitas members can book through the Sanitas app, or by calling SEPB Barcelona on 932 094 972. Most Sanitas plans cover psychology sessions; the number of sessions per year and any copayment depend on your specific policy. On Sanitas Mas Salud Plus there is a per-session copayment; on plans without copayment, sessions are covered in full up to the policy limit. Always confirm cover and any required GP referral with Sanitas before your first appointment.

Why see a Sanitas-network psychologist in Barcelona

Catalonia has one of the highest rates of mental-health consultation in Spain, and Barcelona's bilingual (Castilian and Catalan) population can make finding a therapist who fits both linguistically and clinically a slow process through public channels. Going through the Sanitas network gives you direct access to senior practitioners like Sr. Galicia without the long wait times associated with the public Servei Catala de la Salut, and lets you stay with the same therapist throughout treatment - particularly important in child and adolescent work, where continuity of relationship is part of the therapy itself.
