Mrs Livia Pires Melo

Certified Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist with an MBA from FGV, combining brain science with corporate strategy to treat burnout. I help executives and high-performing professionals recover their mental health and cognitive function.

About Me

My career path is unique: I combined a Postgraduate degree in Neuropsychology with practical experience as a former HR Manager and an MBA from FGV. This hybrid experience allows me to understand corporate pressures 'from the inside' and offer highly precise, evidence-based clinical interventions. I specialize in serving Brazilian expatriates around the world, focusing on managing chronic stress, burnout, and cognitive rehabilitation (focus, memory, and attention). I offer an ethical, safe, and specialized therapeutic space in Portuguese for those seeking high performance without compromising their mental health.

Approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with technical neuropsychological protocols. My approach is structured, assertive, and focused on emotional regulation and restoring the mental functionality required in high-pressure environments. I work in partnership with the patient to develop practical stress coping strategies.
