Find the type of support that best fits what you’re going through right now.
Living in a new country comes with unique challenges, missing family and friends back home, work pressure, adjusting to a new language, and sometimes feeling isolated. Individual therapy can help you process these emotions, better understand yourself, and build emotional resilience.
Find Individual PsychologistImmigration and life abroad can place unique pressures on a relationship. Without the traditional support network you may have had in Brazil, everyday responsibilities and bicultural differences can create additional challenges. Couples therapy can help rebuild communication, strengthen your connection, and create greater alignment in your life together.

"I was always skeptical about using an online therapy service, believing it might dehumanize such a delicate mental healthcare service..."
I was always skeptical about using an online therapy service, believing it might dehumanize such a delicate mental healthcare service. However, Ondivan surprised me by having direct contact with the patient and a great selection of psychologists. Now I feel confident in having psychological support without physical and/or time barriers. Not to mention the ease and security of online payment, done in just one click.
""We cannot move away from what we are until we deeply accept what we are" - Carl Rogers. With Dr. Inês Mata, the path of self-discovery..."
"We cannot move away from what we are until we deeply accept what we are" - Carl Rogers. With Dr. Inês Mata, the path of self-discovery became much clearer and easier to follow. Nowadays I live outside Brazil, and after moving countries, online therapy became an essential and extremely useful tool.
Beyond all the convenience achieved through online sessions, Dr. Inês makes you feel truly welcomed and cared for, always paying attention and knowing the right moment to intervene. I am so grateful to be her patient, and my journey of success and self-discovery would not be the same without her help. Thank you so much for everything.
"What can I say about the work developed by such a committed and competent professional? Three years ago I started therapy with Dr. Inês..."
What can I say about the work developed by such a committed and competent professional? Three years ago I started therapy with Dr. Inês in person. She helped me immensely in my self-discovery and overcoming numerous personal challenges. About two years ago we started online sessions. At first, I was quite resistant to the idea because I thought I would miss the physical contact. However, the experience was surprising. The session maintained the exact same quality, only more accessible with technology, and I am even more satisfied with her support!
"Discovering and understanding yourself, finding the tools to face life's challenges—the unknown ones, the frightening ones..."
Discovering and understanding yourself, finding the tools to face life's challenges—the unknown ones, the frightening ones, and those full of expectations. Not losing your way, and finding the balance between weight and lightness. With the help of Dr. Inês Mata, I walked a path that required relearning from my past, looking at myself today to rediscover who I am, and working with that learning to build my future. Her online sessions, professionalism, dedication, and flexibility made this personal growth possible.
"Doing online therapy was the best thing that ever happened to me! I was in such a deep melancholic state that leaving home was a huge sacrifice..."
Doing online therapy was the best thing that ever happened to me! I was in such a deep melancholic state that leaving home was a huge sacrifice, and I ended up sabotaging therapies I tried to start. This time is different: I attend sessions from home where I feel completely comfortable. At first, even without the energy to get out of bed, it was right from there that I heard my psychologist lift my spirits and show me I was so much more. Gradually I grew stronger, rediscovering a strength inside me I didn't even know existed. Today, I do therapy wherever I want—in a hotel room, a study lounge at a bookstore. I am learning to stand on my own two feet, understanding that the only person who can change my story is me! Dr. Inês Mata has transformed my life! Eternal gratitude for this psychologist!
"We would like to give our testimonial as parents about the work of this wonderful professional and person, whom we consider essential in our family..."
We would like to give our testimonial as parents about the work of this wonderful professional and person, whom we consider essential in our family and personal life to this day! We came without an "instruction manual," and some concepts passed down by our parents are no longer suited for today. Often we choose paths for our children that are not the paths they want for themselves, distancing them from their essence and opening space for internal and external conflicts.
Dr. Inês Mata has been a true friend and an exceptionally performing professional. Entrusting her with our most precious treasure—our daughter—was the best decision we could have made. She has been immensely important in our daughter's life and in ours! Learning through a family member that Dr. Inês offered online therapy was a true blessing and a rebirth! Today I know that nothing is in vain, and this therapist was placed in our lives to help restructure our family life. She is a unique and wonderful human being who knows how to use the right tools for difficult situations. We, as parents, notice these positive changes and are deeply grateful to have someone as trustworthy to confide in as Dr. Inês Mata!
