Rita Maranhão (OPP 30580)
I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable exploring your story, making sense of what you are going through, and making room for the different parts of yourself.
In my practice, I pay particular attention to how our life experiences and the relationships we have built over time shape the way we see ourselves, how we feel, and how we relate to others. Many of the strategies we develop throughout life begin as ways of protecting ourselves or responding to what we have experienced. Understanding these patterns can help us develop new ways of relating to ourselves and to others.
I believe in a form of psychotherapy that does not seek to change who we are, but rather to foster a deeper understanding of ourselves, strengthen our trust in our own abilities, and create space for safer and more fulfilling relationships.
