How the First Session Works

Gibran Magno - Clinical Psychologist & Logotherapist | CRP 01/13.117

Before beginning regular therapy, we hold an initial online conversation (in Portuguese) to understand your current situation, clarify questions, and assess whether psychotherapy makes sense for you.

Clinical Practice

Steps to begin therapy

1. First contact

Through WhatsApp, you can ask practical questions regarding schedule availability, session format (in-person or online), and fees.

2. Initial conversation

We schedule an online conversation of roughly 30 minutes (in Portuguese) to hear about your current moment, understand your needs, and explain how I work.

3. Beginning therapy

If it feels appropriate for both of us, we agree on next steps and the therapeutic process begins with regular sessions.

Clinical Principles

Basic Guidelines & Confidentiality

The therapeutic process requires calm, privacy, and trust. Sessions take place in a confidential setting, strictly upholding professional secrecy and the ethical standards of psychological practice in Brazil.

During the initial conversation, you can share what brings you to therapy, ask questions, and learn how ongoing care works. Regular psychotherapy starts only after this mutual alignment.

We can start with a conversation.

The initial conversation is a brief space (in Portuguese) to understand your moment, clarify questions, and see whether this path is right for you.
