In Lisbon, we provide specialized psychotherapy in English focusing on deep-rooted personality patterns and character development. Our practice is conveniently located for those seeking professional mental health support in a language they feel most comfortable with.
A psychodynamic diagnosis is about understanding the "map" of your internal world. By identifying your level of character organization (neurotic, borderline, or psychotic), we can choose the most effective interventions to treat the person as a whole.
Absolutely. Being an expat often amplifies underlying character traits or brings hidden patterns to the surface. I specialize in helping the international community navigate these challenges by combining cultural sensitivity with a deep understanding of personality.
We use evidence-based methods and incorporate CBT techniques into our treatment. Our team was trained in the CBT approach both during Integrative Psychotherapy and ISTDP psychotherapy training.
Character styles are the consistent ways we think, feel, and relate to others, often shaped by early experiences. Drawing on the work of Nancy McWilliams, we help clients identify unique personality organizations (such as narcissistic, compulsive, or depressive styles).
Yes. According to the framework established by Nancy McWilliams, each personality organization has different needs and defense mechanisms. Our therapy in Lisbon is tailored to these specific diagnostic nuances.
We offer couples therapy in our Lisbon office in Avenidas Novas. Our team is trained in EFT for couples and "Hold me Tight" training methods, providing a focused space for relational work.
