Individual Therapy:
Among the recurring issues in the clinic with immigrants are: anxiety, low self-esteem, discrimination, cultural adaptation, self-knowledge, difficulty learning the local language, adaptation to the new work or study environment, depression, xenophobia, intercultural relationships, identity, and gender relations, etc.
Expatriate Couples:
Couples who leave their country face a myriad of challenges that often affect their relationship. It is necessary to learn how to deal with a new cultural context, a new language, and a new professional, academic, and social environment. These changes influence all aspects of the migrant's life, and couples therapy will help in this adaptation process, focusing on improving the marital relationship.
Intercultural Couples:
Couples therapy specialized in partners who do not share the same cultural codes. When individuals in a couple are from different cultures, understanding and communication become more challenging, as behaviors considered normal for one may seem strange to the other. The way of loving or expressing oneself in the relationship can also be directly linked to cultural traits. Being aware of the differences and, above all, accepting them as inherent to the individual's structure is important to improve communication and understanding between people with different cultural backgrounds.
Sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
Online Care
Online therapy is regulated by the Brazilian Federal Council of Psychology (CFP), and the psychologist will be responsible for taking all necessary measures to ensure the confidentiality of information in accordance with the guidelines of the Professional Psychologist Code of Ethics and the General Data Protection Law (13.709/2018).
The adopted approach allows the therapeutic process to work in any space where the individual feels safe to use words as a tool to access their deepest issues, ensuring there is no detriment to conducting sessions virtually.
Online care enables people living abroad to be attended to by a professional who speaks their native language and is sensitive to your cultural codes, facilitating the establishment of the therapeutic bond.
