\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLiving in another country asks a lot of you. A new language, a new workplace culture, distance from the people who know you best \u2014 and, often, the quiet feeling that you have to hold it all together because moving here was your choice. Therapy in your mother tongue gives those experiences a place to land. Nuance, humor, hesitation \u2014 the things that carry what you actually feel \u2014 don\u2019t survive translation well. As an English-speaking therapist in S\u00e3o Paulo, I offer psychotherapy in English for expats and internationals living in Brazil, in person or online.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What brings people here<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n
  • The transition itself:<\/strong> culture shock, isolation, the identity questions that surface when familiar references disappear<\/li>\n
  • Corporate pressure:<\/strong> leadership demands, expat assignments, career crossroads far from your support network<\/li>\n
  • Relationships:<\/strong> partnerships strained by relocation, parenting between cultures, distance from family<\/li>\n
  • And what would bring you to therapy anywhere:<\/strong> anxiety, low mood, repeating patterns, the sense that something needs attention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    I’m Marcos Alencar,\u00a0Psychoanalyst and Psychologist\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0(CRP 06\/30117). Before dedicating myself fully to the clinic, I spent years as an executive and entrepreneur, with graduate work at MIT \u2014 so the world you navigate professionally is one I know from the inside, not from textbooks.<\/span><\/p>

    My approach is analytic: we work with your history, your patterns, and what repeats \u2014 at your pace, without ready-made protocols. Sessions are available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.<\/p>

    How it works<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    We start with a free 30-minute conversation, online, with no commitment \u2014 a chance to meet, talk about what brings you, and decide together whether we’re a good fit. Time zones and language adjust automatically in the booking calendar below.<\/p>

    Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly as a rule, in person in S\u00e3o Paulo or online. Fees depend on your country and currency and are discussed openly in the first conversation.<\/p>

    If you’re looking for an English-speaking therapist in S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong>, the first conversation is an opportunity to talk about what brings you here and see whether this way of working makes sense for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
