Isabella Scarpelli

I am Isabella, Brazilian, graduated in Psychology in Brazil and currently living in Lisbon, where I obtained my Master's degree. I have been immersed in the world of psychology since 2017, and since then, my direction, listening, and clinical perspective have been aligned with Lacanian psychoanalysis. Throughout all these years dedicated to psychology, I have had numerous and significant experiences that have strongly contributed to the professional I am today. My first work experience in psychology was at the Women's Police Station in Belo Horizonte (Brazil), where I provided support to victims of domestic violence. I was also present at the Forensic Institute, where I provided care for children who were victims of sexual violence, and participated in a team of professionals preparing judicial reports on the criminal responsibility of law offenders. Still in Brazil, my most significant experience was in the therapeutic residential project for patients with severe psychosis, where I worked to promote the health and well-being of the residents, ensuring a humanized treatment, striving for social integration, and contributing to the development of autonomy and quality of life for each of the individuals there. In Portugal, I have experience working on an intervention project with children diagnosed with autism. Throughout this journey, clinical work has always been present. Therefore, combining my experiences, I can say that I know it is not easy, but I also know it doesn’t have to be that hard. I invite you, then, to embark on a confidential space of analysis in the face of the extraordinary challenges that life presents.
