I do not begin with a label.I begin with the story.
A child described as “difficult”. A teenager who has stopped sharing. A woman who never allows herself to pause. An athlete still caught in the last mistake. My work begins before the quickest explanation.

Anxiety, identity, autonomy, family, school and sport, with careful attention to privacy and family involvement.

Overload, self-pressure, anxiety, relationships, boundaries and personal or professional transitions.
Athletes
Pressure, confidence, fear of mistakes, injuries, decision-making and relationships within sport.
How I work
“What are we missing when we explain someone too quickly?”
I am Larissa Benites Lima, a Brazilian psychologist registered under CRP 06/227003. I do not use one fixed script for every person. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of me, their history, relationships and current context.
Online care is available for people whose location and professional regulations allow this format. We can clarify suitability during the first contact.

Common questions
Before you begin.
Are sessions available in English?
Yes. Contact me so we can confirm the format and whether online care is suitable for your location.
Do I need a diagnosis or referral?
No. You may begin by sharing what has been difficult, even if you do not yet know how to name it.
How do online sessions work?
Sessions are held by video call in a private setting. Practical details are shared during the first contact.
You do not need the perfect words.
A short message is enough to begin.
