Space for Self-Knowledge, Growth & Change

Psychotherapy for you wherever you are

Welcome to my virtual office. My name is Camila Fonseca and I'm glad you've come this far.

I know that in the rush of everyday life, self-care is not always a priority. This is already an important step in your journey of self-knowledge and transformation.

If you're feeling tired, confused, depressed or anxious, know that therapy is like taking a path back home. It's as if through therapy, we connect with our internal GPS while we travel the territory of who we are. We tune into our emotional needs and learn to take transformative actions. That's why therapy is an investment whose results are experienced firsthand and stay with you throughout your life.

My Journey

Camila Fonseca

I am a psychologist who graduated from the University of Brasília (UnB) in 2007. Since then, I have dedicated myself to various areas of Psychology, from clinical practice to community psychology in Indigenous and Quilombola (afro-descendants) communities.

A unique element of my professional qualification is my life experience. Upon becoming a psychologist, I realized the need to transcend the boundaries of my comfort zone and get to know myself not just through books or courses, but through my own lived experience.

On a journey of self-discovery, I traveled through Latin America for more than 3 and a half years, journeying by land and water across Brazil and 10 other countries (from Argentina to Guatemala). During this period, I learned different languages and cultures, lived in extreme situations, and came into contact with people from diverse realities.

Another personal aspect important to my work is my intense dedication to the practice of mindfulness. For 2 years, I lived exclusively in meditation centers in both Brazil and India. During this time, I deepened my knowledge of human nature through moment-to-moment inner observation.

Upon becoming a mother, I came into contact with the pains of my own complex trauma. For this reason, I have deeply studied and qualified in internationally recognized approaches in this area for my own benefit and for my clients.

Currently, I see clients in person and online in English, Portuguese, and Spanish from various parts of the world, including Brazil, the USA, Australia, India, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Japan.

In my free time, I enjoy laughing with my daughter and husband, swimming outdoors, doing all kinds of crafts, playing the same old songs on my guitar, cycling my bicycle on the multi-colored country side streets among kids and animals, and climbing the Arunachala mountain to meditate in the caves.

Client Testimonials

"My experience working with Camila has been incredibly rewarding. When I arrived in Tiruvannamalai I felt I needed support as I was feeling uneasy with old patterns coming up looking for attention. Camila treated our sessions with respect, care, and insight; and supported and guided me to explore my depths with safety and trust. The light-hearted, joyful approach of Camila put me at ease immediately and her loving presence, compassion and kindness was key in supporting me to find the healing I needed. In the short space of time and sessions with Camila’s sensibilities and wisdom, allowed for my emotional, spiritual, and psychological growth."
