About me
Hello! Welcome to my profile, let me introduce to yourself;
I am Ana, a psychologist from São Paulo, Brazil, currently living in Lisbon, Portugal for four years. I have experience working in a clinical context with various psychological issues, giving me a diverse background, with both adults and adolescents.
My goal is to offer therapy that not only helps clients address and manage their immediate concerns but also fosters long-term emotional resilience and personal growth. By integrating somatic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I aim to support clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves, improving their emotional regulation, and enhancing their overall quality of life.
My clients reported significant benefits from my approach, including symptom relief, improved self-esteem, and better relationships with those around them.

We'll also take time to address any questions or concerns you have, ensuring you feel comfortable with the therapy process.
-First, Second, and Subsequent Sessions (Online or In-Person)-
CBT is evidence-based and a personalized approach, meaning that the structure and content of your sessions will be adapted to suit your unique situation and needs.
