Know thyself,
and become who you are.
Giuliana Leite - Online and In-Person Psychotherapy
I like to think that the union of these two phrases — the first by Socrates and the second by Nietzsche — gently describes the psychotherapeutic process.
It is through the inner fire of the desire for self-knowledge that it becomes possible to inhabit one’s own essence. Psychotherapy supports this path, offering presence and space to be who you truly are.
About me
I see psychotherapy as an encounter with what is most true in each person. My path is rooted in clinical psychology, but also includes experience in human resources and occupational health and safety. Recently, I lived for two years in Romania and Italy, supporting Ukrainian refugees, broadening my perspective and deepening my listening, while engaging with diverse cultures in this journey and in others, across more than 18 countries around the world.
For years, I have been dedicated to yoga, integrating meditation and breathwork practices into psychological care. I also facilitate retreats, offering spaces for pause and reconnection.
I believe mental health goes beyond relieving symptoms — it is a path to cultivating presence, autonomy, and meaning. In my practice, I strive to offer a safe and welcoming space where each person can freely express themselves and reconnect with their essence.
The Psychotherapeutic Process
Ways We Can Work Together:
Individual Therapy
Your personal space, with the care and confidentiality of psychotherapy — online or in person, in Ilhabela-SP.
Therapy for Brazilians Abroad
From cultural adaptation to homesickness, a safe online space to embrace emotions, strengthen identity, and transform the journey of living away from home — with an understanding of both the beauty and the challenges of immigration.
Therapy for Foreigners in Brazil — and Beyond
In our sessions, whether in Portuguese or English, I understand the experience of living in a new country or culture, in Brazil or anywhere in the world. The unique challenges and beauties of adaptation, language, and belonging. Together, we will strengthen your identity as you build your new path.
Couples Therapy
In couples therapy, I create a space for listening and dialogue, where each partner can express themselves with clarity and respect. This process strengthens mutual understanding, improves communication, and helps the couple find healthier ways of relating. Together, we open paths toward greater meaning and connection.
Along your journey, we also navigate your career transitions and professional challenges, supporting you in aligning your work with your current stage of life.
