My name is Patrícia, I'm Portuguese and I'm a psychologist for 16 years.
I have got a vast experience with:
- Adults in areas such as anxiety disorders, depression, emotional instabilty, grief / loss processes, personality disorders, separation / divorce processes, family therapy and couples therapy
- Children/ Teenagers in areas such as anxiety disorders, child depression, OCD deseases, personality disorders, special needs disorders.
I use a psychodynamic approach, that includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person, particularly unconscious, and between the different structures of the personality. This approach helps the patient to recognize, understand and explain their feelings and emotions. The aim is to help you acquire the necessary skills, so the patient can manage his needs, in an increasingly adaptive and autonomous way.
