I'm Cátia Castro, clinical psychologist. Psychology for me is something of the past, present and future, a passion for human potential, for what can be created and developed.

In psychology, I consider the fundamental relationship, through empathic listening, support, where something new expands and develops. By giving a name to what one feels, attributing sense and meaning, through an articulated understanding of two, my objective is to help the person to rethink himself, re-elaborating himself, in what is closest to what he can be, trying to manage difficulties with a view to their well-being and the quality of their relationships.

I like to learn and therefore I try to constantly update my knowledge of psychology and relational psychoanalysis, through continuous training in training courses, congresses and lectures, as well as supervision and, through readings.

I confess that I love books, I can't resist going to a bookstore and that I increase the number of them on my shelves, not only psychology and science, but also philosophy, literature, poetry, fiction, among other areas.

I developed my professional path in the field of clinical psychology, andI specialized in the area of legal/forensic psychology, having provided technical assistance to the courts, in the civil, criminal and educational tutelary areas.

In Private Practice I have been doing psychology consultations, psychological assessment and psychotherapy with children, adolescents and adults.

Relational Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is the theoretical cornerstone of my clinical practice.

Currently, as part of my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I am doing research in the area of cyberpsychology, more precisely in the theme of the use of videogames - risks and benefits.
