My work
Promotion of self-knowledge and support for the desired change.
Clinical psychologist with extensive experience in individual therapy for adults and couples, I chose Gestalt Therapy as a theoretical framework to support my work because I believe in human potential and I understand that every crisis contemplates the opposite polarity of growth.
Furthermore, I share the perspective of this approach that it is not the therapist who heals, but the relationship, as long as it is permeated with validation, recognition of the client's totality and encouragement to be fully who they are.
In my practice I have noticed that, if the client feels accepted unconditionally, without judgment and reminded of the qualities and potential that exist beyond the difficulties/symptoms presented, the tendency is for them to allow themselves a new type of relationship, without the need for “adjust” to expectations or protect oneself.
Little by little, he can show himself as a whole, especially to himself, which makes it possible to establish a healthier and more constructive relationship with himself and the people around him.
As a psychologist, I am willing to facilitate this process for the client, the process of finding within themselves the power to make the changes they want in their lives.
For this, I have art therapy resources available such as Sandplay, collage, painting, working with dreams which, in addition to being a means of creative self-expression that bring lightness to meetings, function as catalysts for the therapeutic process.

My values
I believe in the human being's ability to transform and overcome the difficulties that are part of anyone's life journey. Mainly in a sphere permeated with respect, acceptance and encouragement for each person to take the lead in their lives. Furthermore, I defend autonomy, freedom of choice, respect for everyone's time to find their own path.
Another value that guides my life and my work as a psychologist is the care to see the person in their entirety, not reducing anyone to a diagnosis. From this perspective, I am not treating a "depressive”, but someone who suffers from depression and who, in addition, has many other healthy aspects that can come into play to improve their quality of life.
Furthermore, I seek to understand the client based on the situation they find themselves in, since the complaint presented is closely related to their life context. And I understand my role as a facilitator of the life change that the client wants for themselves, with the direction and pace given by them.
My services
You can book the first contact with me through Florescer Cuida de Você. By doing so, you contribute to Florescer Holanda’s social responsibility actions and projects.
The eventual follow-up of your treatment will be agreed between you and me.
Individual Psychological Assistance
The service can be provided focusing on something specific that the client wishes to work on with a previously agreed number of sessions (such as professional choice and replacement, overcoming a loss) or based on a complaint (depression, anxiety, bulimia, among others) which requires a longer period of follow-up.

Couples Therapy
This support aims to assist the couple in resuming dialogue and reconciling existing differences from a broader perspective of the problem.
The couple will be able to understand how they interact, what unites and separates them, the positive points of their relationship and how their personal issues are impacting the way they relate.
Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to understand more effective ways of communicating their needs and desires.
