Dr. Raquel del Hoyo Mitjans is a psychiatrist trained and certified in Spain, with extensive experience in adult mental health and perinatal psychiatry.

She worked for several years in public hospitals, gaining solid experience in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, among others.

After her years in the public sector, she chose to focus her career on private practice, allowing her to dedicate more time to each patient, gain a deeper understanding of their needs, and offer a personalized and effective therapeutic approach. Throughout her private practice in Spain, she received excellent feedback from her patients, reflected in more than one hundred positive reviews emphasizing her attentive listening and individualized care.

She has specialized training in Perinatal Psychiatry through the European Institute of Perinatal Mental Health, complemented by clinical placements in several perinatal psychiatry units in Spanish hospitals, where she also led her own unit. This experience enables her to support women throughout all perinatal stages—from preconception counseling and medication planning to mental health care during pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding.

Her approach focuses on comprehensive and compassionate care within an environment where each person feels heard and supported, prioritizing individualized assessment to determine when medication is necessary and when a psychotherapeutic approach may be more appropriate.
