Explore the practiceIndividual psychotherapy
Every transformation begins within.
Our starting point is the lived experience you bring into the room: anxiety, depression, a fear that limits your life, a loss, a relationship conflict, a crisis or a life transition, or the desire to understand yourself more deeply.
Online psychotherapy in English and Portuguese.
A clinical presence rooted in unconditional acceptance, safety, and non-judgment.
Along the way, the unconscious becomes an ally—revealed through dreams, active imagination, creative expression, and symbolic life.
Grounded in Systemic Family Therapy* we trace relational patterns and transgenerational inheritances that shape who you are today.
Scientific knowledge combined with deep, attentive listening—fostering autonomy and self-reliance, never dependence.
Background
A clinician and researcher committed to ongoing study and professional development.
Marcelo Cunha is a licensed psychologist (CRP 04/48283 - Brazil) and an Analyst-in-Training at the Instituto Junguiano do Rio de Janeiro (IJRJ / AJB / IAAP). He holds a graduate-level certificate in Analytical Psychology from UNIFENAS, Brazil. He earned his degree in Psychology from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), with an academic period at the University of Wisconsin (WI - USA).
His background brings together clinical practice, research, writing, and work with adults, couples, and families. Analytical Psychology is at the center of his training, in dialogue with psychoanalysis and family therapy — not as an undifferentiated blend, but when this dialogue deepens his ability to listen to the individual person.
