Welcome! My name is Silvana.
I am a Brazilian clinical and social psychologist, based in the Netherlands since 2018. I truly believe diversity enriches us, and I am guided by values of freedom, equality, integrity, and dignity in all aspects of my life.
I began my career at the United Nations, working in a behavioral program. After completing a Master’s in Social Psychology and specializing in Clinical psychosomatic Trauma Therapy, I established my private practice. Later, I moved to Phoenix/USA, where I expanded my experience by learning and working with individuals facing severe psychiatric conditions and addiction. Since 2022, I have been working in a residential clinic in NL, supporting young adults and their families through complex emotional and developmental challenges.
Some of the topics I can support you with include:
Depression and/or anxiety
Complex trauma / PTSD
Relationship problems
Couples (communication, psychological flexibility, connection)
Questions related to sexuality / gender
Psychiatric diagnoses, including Cluster B personality disorders, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Substance Use Disorders
Body related problems: self-image, BDD, eating disorder.
