This page lists Female ADHD Psychologists in Rio De Janeiro. 4 in all.
That is 4 of the 5 psychologists listed in Rio De Janeiro.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check the answer, and nothing here is ranked.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
ADHD assessment and support
ADHD affects attention, activity and impulse control. It continues into adulthood for many people. A diagnosis comes from a specialist assessment, not from a first therapy session.
Practitioners consider psychological work where someone declines medication or still struggles on it 3. That work may include cognitive behavioural therapy.
Ask a practitioner whether they assess, treat, or both.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Female identity, the specialism recorded as ADHD and the professional title psychologist.
