Dr Ailton de Sousa
Licensed Clinical Psychologists
“I am here to help you learn how to identify and change the negative or irrational patterns of thinking about yourself, the world and people. These negative thoughts can play a role in diminishing your motivation, lowering your self-esteem, and contributing to problems like anxiety, depression and substance use.”
About Me
I help you identify and gently challenge negative thoughts that dim your motivation or self-esteem. We explore practical ways to reframe irrational patterns. This helps lessen the grip of anxiety, depression, or substance use concerns. My approach offers clear steps. It supports those ready to build inner resilience and find a clearer path forward.
Approach
When negative thinking narrows your choices, I guide practical, stepwise experiments that test those beliefs and open different possibilities. Sessions in Oakland Park or online, in English or Portuguese, move at a steady, collaborative pace—focused but gentle, with clear goals we revisit each week. You’ll practice brief exercises, track real-life attempts to act differently, and bring family or relationship patterns into the room when they matter. This way of working often helps people dealing with anxiety, mood shifts, relationship strain, or recovery after abuse.
