Portuguese Therapists in New York

Também ofereço sessões em português.

Meu abordagem é caracterizada como colaborativa, compassiva, e ativa, na qual os indivíduos podem encontrar autenticidade em si mesmos e fazer mudanças significativas em sua vida, reconhecendo padrões e encontrando uma voz para si mesmos. Meu foco no cliente varia de indivíduos LGBTQ+ que trabalham para sair do armário, para imigrantes que se ajustam à vida em NYC, e para adultos que lidam com ansiedade, problemas de raiva, questões de identidade, situações de perda, depressão, trauma e preocupações de relacionamento e intimidade.

Cada um dos relacionamentos psicoterapeuticos reflete com nitidez a complexidade da vida e da personalidade do indivíduo em tratamento, um processo unico que nao permite generalizacões. Além do diagnostico e da avaliação clínica contínua baseada em modelos psicológicos tradicionais, é essencial ao meu método profissional uma ênfase na sintonia cultural. Em particular, os meus 45 anos de contato com o Brasil e sua sociedade permite que eu integre o componente cultural ao processo terapeutico, os quais estão intimamente ligados. Radicado na área de Nova Iorque, morei por vários anos no Brasil e tenho fluência no idioma.

I am a Licensed Psychologist specialized in individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic theory to guide treatment in my private practice at NYU Psychiatry Associates. I see individuals and lead skills groups for those seeking help with emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and crisis management. My interests also lie in working with anxiety and depressive symptoms associated with infertility, pregnancy, and work-family balance.

Many of my clients come to see me out of frustration with their personal relationships or work roles. Such frustration can manifest in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative coping. I provide a supportive, yet challenging environment that fosters emotional well-being, new insights, and change. With a positive approach that focuses on individual and contextual strengths, my goal is to help clients develop the self-awareness, self-confidence, and skills necessary to overcome perceived obstacles and improve their relationships and work satisfaction.

I am a clinical psychologist who conducts therapy in both English and in my native Brazilian Portuguese. My approach is insight oriented but I can also use elements of cognitive therapy to help individuals develop practical and life skills. I work collaboratively with my patients whether it's to help them build better relationships, balance work and personal life, or navigate a new life in a different culture.

I'm passionate about helping men, women, and young people escape anguish and giving them the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. My approach to therapy is based on two principles. The first is to begin with a thorough clinical evaluation in order to proceed with the most effective evidence-based form of treatment. The second is to create a supportive and safe environment in which each client feels comfortable enough to do the difficult work of confronting and overcoming their issues. No matter how deep your pain, I believe you have the ability to lead a better life.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

With my experience and several years of learning a variety of approaches, I have observed that one the most common problem that keeps people stuck is rooted in one fundamental thing called " fear". I create an individualized treatment plan to each one of my clients to promote healing and growth. I will help you to foster your authentic self, and to create new positive behaviors that are congruent to your values and goals. I provide therapy to adults and children. I am well experienced treating anxiety, trauma, interpersonal problems, depression, ADD, ADHD, Phobia, and compulsive disorders.

My practice incorporates and integrates knowledge and techniques from various therapeutic modalities. I can conduct therapy sessions in English, Spanish or Portuguese. I have specific training in EMDR and Sensorimotor (somatic) Psychotherapy. I am a practicing psychedelic-assisted therapist and have trained extensively with ketamine. I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions in partnership with Journey Clinical. I offer psychedelic prep and integration sessions that are guided by my familiarity with Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicines. In September 2022 I will train in psilocybin assisted therapy in Amsterdam.

My primary goal is to help my clients lead happy, meaningful lives. If you have been feeling depressed, anxious or dealing with situations that are particularly difficult or that feel overwhelming to you, therapy may help you. I work with Individuals and Couples and have experience helping adults from many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and of different sexual orientations. I will work with you in an atmosphere of trust, collaboration, and support. Together, we will address whatever challenges you are facing, and will work towards concrete goals and solutions.

I am fascinated about how the brain works and how behavior can be adapted and changed if we allow it to happen.I support anxious and depressed people who truly desire to renewal their souls. Self-esteem, stress and conflict management, codependency, and parenting skills are some of the areas that rise my interest. I am specialized in blended and multicultural families. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries. Review of my work as a therapist are available online. Kindly employ email to contact me initially if possible. Thank you.

I have a long track of success treating people of all ages, in the individual, couples, family, and groups modalities. Special experience working with PTSD, LGBTQ issues and trauma. I also have provided treatment for people in the Autism spectrum. I can provide services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. I have a robust system to provide you with the state of the art Telehealth services.

I am a certified psychotherapist and treat individuals with symptoms such as anxiety or depression, reflecting deeper unresolved emotional conflicts that need processing and working-through. These conflicts cause mental pain and can negatively affect all areas of the individual's life: personal and professional relationships, intimate relationships, career development, general physical health and well-being. My orientation is psychodynamic. I am an out-of-network provider and can give receipts for reimbursement.

Finding the right therapist for you can be a process and often requires a certain chemistry. I strive to help you as the client to feel safe and comfortable. My approach is to be patient, accepting, direct, and compassionate. I feel supportive honesty is key, and I also appreciate that each individual has his/her own path to explore and learn. Together we can set goals and collaborate so that you feel the time and investment is helpful for the changes you want.

One thing that we all share as humanity is that we all experience emotional discomfort or pain, it is simply unavoidable. However, we can learn how to identify, tolerate, and manage uncomfortable emotions to help us better navigate challenging times. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, relationship problems, adjusting to a new life transition, or are simply on a journey towards learning more about yourself, my main goals are to promote healing by showing up as my authentic self and to create a nonjudgemental space that promotes self-compassion.
