Therapy for what? For whom? Is it for me?

How do we deal with the issues that come up during the expatriation process? How do we deal with this middle path of being neither here nor there? How do we say goodbye? How do we deal with loss and the anguish of guilt? What do we do when a relationship ends? How do we get out of this state of apathy and lack of energy? How do we deal with the fear of losing someone or something?…

There are many issues like these that lead people to seek professional support every day to deal with their anxieties. Analysis is a space for listening and support where it is “allowed” to FEEL, whatever it may be, in whatever way…

If you are going through situations of conflict and/or internal anguish, analysis may be able to help you! Schedule your appointment for an initial contact.

About me

Hello, I'm Bianca Casimiro — a psychologist and psychoanalyst in training, currently living in the Netherlands.
I bring over five years of experience working in clinical and corporate settings, offering a welcoming space where individuals can explore their emotional suffering, life transitions, and deeper internal questions with care and reflection.

I have lived in more than 10 cities, in 2 different countries. Through these changes, my career has been built in different areas and cultures. From experiences in small companies to working in multinational companies, my first years of professional activity were in the corporate world, working with committees and health projects aimed at the company's employees with a focus on emotional health, longevity and people's well-being.

Therapy Approach

In recent years, I have dedicated myself exclusively to clinical practice, maintaining my professional development through the analytical tripod: formal theoretical study, supervision, and personal analysis.

Services

I currently offer online and in-person sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and locations, addressing themes such as anxiety, grief, identity, cultural transitions, emotional dependence, and life meaning. Each journey is unique, and therapy is a space to discover your own way of navigating what hurts.

FAQ

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has increasingly focused on people's mental health and emotional well-being, which has not only increased discussion on the topic in public and private spaces, but also motivated more people to seek out psychologists or psychotherapists. However, there are still many questions about what psychotherapy is and how it works.

Below you can find a brief answer to the questions I receive most frequently.

The 3 types of PSYs: Psychiatry, Psychology Psychoanalysis.

Psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are doctors specializing in psychiatry, and are the only professionals among the 3 psychiatric categories qualified to prescribe psychotropic drugs and other types of medications.
Some psychiatrists also specialize in working with psychotherapy, but most of these professionals have a biomedical focus in order to treat symptoms through pharmacology.
It is a medical consultation taking approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

Psychology, In general, it is a science that studies human behavior and its mental and emotional processes. Its objective is to help the patient deal with emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties, through talking and listening sessions. Some approaches may use diagnostic assessment tests, activities to be carried out outside the session, etc.
The professional has a degree in Psychology and cannot prescribe medication.
A psychotherapy session lasts 50 minutes and is held once a week.

Psychoanalysis It is a theory and practice developed by Sigmund Freud, which will analyze the emotional and behavioral complaints of each patient considering the formations of the unconscious, their internal conflicts and the impact that this has on both the symptoms and the general life of the subject. Basically, it is to consider the subject as a whole, beyond the superficiality of the problem, but trying to understand what led the subject to do or feel what he complains about, and how to deal with this greater impulse that forms the symptom.
In some parts of the world, such as Brazil, psychoanalysis is part of the curriculum of university psychology courses and is considered one of its approaches. However, the training of an analyst is more specific and lengthy. An analyst can be a doctor, a psychologist or another professional who has graduated from one of the official schools of psychoanalysis.
An analysis session lasts an average of 50 minutes and can be carried out once or more times a week depending on the case and the analyst.
A psychoanalyst also cannot prescribe medication unless he or she is also a practicing physician.
