Mr Nathan Carvalho

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Gratuated in 2018, working with Clinical Psychology since then. My view and practice is about working with the patient to elaborate conscient and inconscient material so they can live a more healthy life.

About Me

As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I work with you to understand the deeper patterns shaping your life. We explore both conscious thoughts and less obvious influences that may be holding you back. This thoughtful process helps you make sense of underlying material, leading to lasting, positive change. Clients seeking to connect past experiences with present challenges find a supportive space to cultivate a healthier life.

Approach

By tracking how small moments and recurring feelings surface in our talks, I help you bring hidden influences into view so they lose their pull. Sessions in Santa Maria or online, in English or Portuguese, are paced to match your rhythm—sometimes reflective silence, other times focused interpretation that tightens what feels confused. Between sessions we may use short reflections to notice patterns in relationships, eating, loss or desire, linking present pain to older meanings through careful, psychodynamic work. People wrestling with trauma, identity or relational struggles often find this steady exploration helpful.
