Mrs Andreia de Miranda Hollenstein

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

verified by TherapyRoute

Licensed Psychologist based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have a vast experience working with Brazilians and expats from various nationalities for over 15 years since the beginning of my career in Germany. English and German spoken. Degree of Intercultural Communication at DWU-Berlin and Cultural Awareness at MIT.

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a licensed psychoanalyst. I work with clients facing anxiety, stress and burnout, mood disorders, relocation and procrastination. I offer psychoanalysis in Leblon (Rio de Janeiro), Berlin and Zürich.

Approach

Clients often notice a calm, deliberate rhythm to sessions that balances reflective listening with practical curiosity, helping unpack anxiety, relocation stress and procrastination through focused dialogue. I meet in Leblon and online, offering work in English, German or Portuguese so cultural nuances are held alongside daily challenges. Between meetings I invite short checkpoints or reflective notes to keep insights connected to real-life choices, while sessions move at a steady pace suited to each person's tempo. This approach tends to help adults and young adults navigating transitions feel clearer and more capable.
