The story behind Leila
From an early age, I felt a strong connection to the desire to help people. This motivation led me to choose Psychology as my professional path, because I believe each of us has a unique story and that, often, we need a safe space to share and explore these experiences.
Currently, I hold a postgraduate degree in Cognitive Behavioral Theory and I am specializing in Neuropsychology. I have 7 years of clinical experience. This constant pursuit of knowledge is essential to me, as it helps me provide the best possible support to my patients — ranging from adolescents to adults and older adults. My goal is to support each person on their personal journey, helping them find paths toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Each session is an opportunity to create a welcoming and safe environment, where my patients can express themselves freely and explore their emotions. I also work as a Substitute Psychologist at the Federal Court, an experience that allows me to understand the complexity of mental health in a variety of contexts.
My journey in Psychology began through internships at different institutions, which provided me with rich experience. I had the opportunity to work with children with special needs at the Brasília Equestrian Society, using horses as a therapeutic resource. This experience taught me a great deal about the importance of creative and sensitive approaches in psychological care.
One of the most impactful experiences in my career was at Instituto Aconchego, where I worked with children and adolescents in institutional care. This experience made me realize the depth of human emotions and the importance of offering a welcoming and understanding perspective.
I truly believe that psychology is a powerful tool for transformation. In every session, I strive to adapt my techniques to each patient’s needs, creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable exploring their feelings and challenges. My commitment is to humanized care, where each person is seen in their wholeness.
Beyond my work in the office, I am involved in social projects, such as food donation initiatives, because I believe caring for others is an extension of my work as a psychologist. I believe mental health should be aligned with social responsibility, and that motivates me to take action.
If you are looking for emotional support and a space to understand yourself better, I am here to listen.
