Fernanda Dias

Licensed Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

I am a psychologist, psychoanalyst, specialist in Psychopathology and Public Health at USP and Master and Doctoral Student in Psychology at the Institute of Psychology at USP. I offer treatment for anxiety, depression, panic, self-esteem and other symptoms. I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish.

About Me

I offer a space to deeply explore anxiety, depression, or panic. We work together to understand underlying patterns and build lasting self-esteem. As a psychoanalyst, my approach fosters clarity and personal growth. Sessions unfold at your own pace, providing a thoughtful, in-depth process. I work with clients in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

Approach

Working with difficulties like persistent worry, low mood or sudden panic often means tracing small, repeating reactions and how they echo across relationships and cultures. In my São Paulo office and online I listen in Portuguese, English or Spanish, holding a careful, slow tempo that gives space between thoughts and feelings. Sessions move between close, reflective listening and practical linkages to daily life—sometimes with brief observations between meetings to sustain insight. This way of working suits people navigating life transitions, cross‑cultural stress or long‑standing self‑doubt.
