About me

I'm Débora Paranhos, Psychologist since 2013, specialist in Psychopathology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT and Contextual Therapies. I have training in Obesity and Weight Loss including evaluation for bariatric surgery. More than 20 extension courses, including Good Practices for Psychological Assistance, Psychopharmacology, Life Risk Management and others.

I increasingly study evidence-based psychology with a focus on health promotion and I am concerned about maximizing the educational process and breaking taboos about Mental Health. My mission is to provide support, information, and inspiration to help you navigate life's complexities and foster a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

I am committed to providing a safe and welcoming space to discuss issues related to the mind, well-being, and human behavior. I'm here for you, whether to answer your questions, offer guidance, or simply share a moment of reflection. Together, we can walk the path towards a more balanced, happy and meaningful life. I invite you to join this journey!

Portuguese
