Mrs Ana Costa

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“A licensed Psychologist and Psychoanalyst based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Master in Clinical Psychology (PUC-SP, in progress). If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, or require support in managing significant life transitions, contact me to schedule a session.”

About Me

If anxiety, burnout, or significant life transitions feel overwhelming, I offer a supportive space to explore. We can gently uncover the deeper patterns contributing to your struggles. As a psychoanalyst, I help you make sense of difficult emotions and relationship dynamics. This collaborative process fosters resilience, guiding you towards lasting well-being and greater self-understanding. You can find clarity and move forward with confidence.

Approach

When worry, exhaustion and major life changes feel hard to carry, I offer a steady, curious way of working that gently maps what matters beneath the surface. In São Paulo or online, in Portuguese or English, sessions tend to move at a reflective pace—short check-ins, deeper exploration and occasional ideas to try between meetings—so you can notice patterns without feeling rushed. The focus is on understanding relational habits and emotional rhythms together, helping you build clearer choices and greater calm; this approach suits adolescents, adults and parents seeking durable change.
