Yuri

Dr Yuri Disaró Amado

Psychoanalyst

Physician (M.D.) and Psychoanalyst. My work will offer you a clinical space to address one's unique suffering. Guided by the Freudian discovery, we will work to reveal the unconscious logic of distress, moving beyond psychiatric labels to enable lasting transformation.

About Me

I am a psychoanalyst and a licensed physician and psychologist based in Centro, SC, Brazil. I offer psychodynamic therapy, dream analysis, psychological and diagnostic assessments, and clinical supervision for adults. I run confidential, focused sessions to examine unconscious patterns and reduce distress.

Approach

Sessions unfold as focused, clinical encounters that blend careful listening with interpretive attention, paced to your rhythm and tolerance for discovery. In Florianópolis I work in Portuguese, English or Spanish and offer both in-person and online meetings, where dreams, free associations and test findings become material we attend to between weekly sessions through brief notes or reflection prompts when helpful. My stance is collaborative yet analytic: I hold hypotheses lightly and invite your sense of what fits. People seeking deeper self-knowledge and relief from enduring patterns often find this approach fitting.
