Portuguese Therapists in Clarkston, MI

Coming to therapy can be terrifying. I strive to create a warm office environment that feels relaxed and safe. The relationship between therapist and client must first feel comfortable so we can build trust and respect for one another. I approach each client as a unique individual and try to find holistic solutions for problems. Let's work together to figure out a plan that works for your life and your family.

Eu trabalho com pessoas que estão passando por transições, seja uma mudança de carreira, de país, ou uma mudança de vida. Pessoas que querem voltar a se conectar ou se conectar pela primeira vez com quem realmente são, além das expectativas dos outros ou suas mesmo. Eu também trabalho com pessoas que tem dificuldade de lidar com o Inglês e o medo que ele pode causar. Muitas vezes temos a impressão, a crença, que estamos sem tempo, que a oportunidade passou e a nossa vida vai continuar do mesmo jeito, piorando devagarinho, mas a vida não tem que ser assim. Você ainda tem o poder de mudar o rumo da sua vida e se ver nela.

Psicoterapia é trabalhar em conjunto para ajudar a aliviar a dificuldade emocional e o sofrimento e, como resultado, pode haver uma melhor autoestima e a relacionamentos mais saudáveis, além de fortalecer a dinâmica acadêmica e ocupacional, melhorar sua qualidade de vida e, finalmente, obter um autoconhecimento mais profundo. O mais provável é que as pessoas procurem psicoterapia quando têm dificuldades em relacionamentos, lutam para atingir objetivos pessoais ou experimentam sofrimento, como uma crise de vida ou a necessidade de compreender sentimentos ou problemas dolorosos em andamento.

I am a clinical therapist aiming to help people in finding happiness and wellbeing. My approach leads clients to feel supported and understood. I studied in Brazil and USA and I see children, adolescents, and adults. I work with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood instability, behavioral problems, trauma, difficulty in adjusting to new culture or country, and other emotional or mental health problems. As a result of my background, I can attend in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Hi, I’m Abigail. As a clinician, it is my joy and purpose to help others better understand themselves and their experiences in order to live a more full and contented life. It is a wonderful gift to bear witness to the journey of others as they navigate the often-difficult waters of life’s ebb and flow. I incorporate my mindfulness training into the therapeutic process, creating solutions and effective techniques in addressing a wide range of challenges. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French.

My ideal client struggles with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and suicidal ideation. They need individual treatment for coping at home and school. Their goals are to manage their symptoms in these settings, find healing, and build a life worth living. They want a way out of suffering so that they can enjoy living and fulfil their potentials.

Is your life spiraling out of control? Anxiety, lack of sleep, irritation, failure in relationships; does it seems that too much is not working out as planned? Throughout my previous career in the medical field and now as a therapist, the opportunity to help people has always been my passion. If you want to own the direction of your life and address the issues that are keeping you off track, I would love to help. Using multiple approaches to therapy, I have the knowledge, freedom, and flexibility to meet my client where they’re at, rather than applying a standardized, “one size fits all” method.
