Perinatal psychology

Care for every stage of this crossing

From trying to conceive through the first years with a baby, including everything that can happen along the way. Here you will find the formats, the prices and how it works in practice.

Quick answer Perinatal psychology supports the mental health of a woman and her family from trying to conceive until roughly the child's second birthday. I work by video call, wherever you live. The length and the price of each session are shown when you book, and sessions are held in Brazilian Portuguese.

Who this is for

When to see a perinatal psychologist

You do not need to be in crisis to begin. These are the most common reasons women come to me.

01

Fertility and trying

Difficulty conceiving, treatment, IVF, the emotional swing of every cycle. Also the hard decision to stop trying.

02

Pregnancy

Anxiety, fear of birth, high risk pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, changes to your body, your work and your relationship.

03

Preparing for birth

Building an emotional plan for birth, working with fear, processing difficult previous experiences, preparing for what cannot be controlled.

04

Postpartum

Persistent sadness, anxiety, frightening thoughts, exhaustion, guilt, difficulty bonding with the baby. Postpartum depression is treatable.

05

Pregnancy and infant loss

Miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal death. Real grief, often invisible to the people around you.

06

Breastfeeding and weaning

Physical pain, social pressure, a sense of failure, the decision to wean and the guilt that usually comes with it.

07

Identity and returning to work

Who you were, who you are now, what you want next. Career, body, friendships and the relationship with your partner.

08

Parenting and the couple

Unequal division of tasks, mental load, emotional distance, and the difficulty of talking about it without it becoming a fight.

09

Choosing not to be a mother

Deciding not to have children, or realising motherhood was not what you wanted. Also a matter for listening, not judgement.

First conversation

Start here

Our first meeting. You tell me what you are living through, I listen without hurrying, I ask what I need to ask, and at the end we talk about what makes sense from there. You leave with no commitment.

One important note This website and these sessions do not replace emergency care or psychiatric treatment. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, call your local emergency number now. In Brazil, call 188 (CVV, free, 24 hours). When appropriate, I work alongside the doctors and other professionals already caring for you.

In practice

How an online session works

Before

You choose a time on the site and pay by Pix or card. Confirmation arrives by email immediately. The link to our room appears in your personal area fifteen minutes before the session and disappears once it ends.

During

Fifty minutes of conversation by video call. You need somewhere with a degree of privacy and a reasonable connection. Headphones help, especially if there are other people at home. If the connection drops, we pick up again and the lost time counts as part of the session.

After

If we decide to continue, you leave with the next appointment booked. A receipt for each session is available in your personal area. Some private health plans in Brazil reimburse psychotherapy against that receipt.

Time zones

All times are shown in Brasília time, UTC minus three. My hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Message me on WhatsApp if you would like help finding a slot that works from where you are.
