Mrs Alexandra Cavalheiro
Psychoanalyst
“I have been working in mental health since 2010, I have a medical background in psychiatry, and I worked in Paris for 10 years. Since 2017 I have been focusing only on psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Don't run away from yourself, listen. In Person or online, in Botafogo-Rio de Janeiro or Niterói. Welcome!”
About Me
I offer psychoanalysis, inviting you to deeply listen to yourself. With a strong medical background in psychiatry, I've guided individuals in mental health since 2010. My approach, refined over many years, helps you explore your inner world. I create a focused space where you can safely understand underlying patterns. This supports those ready to face themselves, fostering clarity and self-understanding.
Approach
After years in psychiatry and a decade in Paris, sessions slow to careful attention, letting silence and small details guide the work. I meet in Botafogo, Niterói or online, in Portuguese, English, French or Spanish, keeping a steady, predictable rhythm that helps anchor anxious moments. We track recurring choices and patterns, use clinical curiosity to name shifts in mood or conduct, and map how these relate to life transitions across time. This way of working often suits adults ready for disciplined, honest reflection.
