Rodrigo Novaes (he / him)

I’m a Brazilian psychologist and psychoanalyst with clinical experience across different cultural contexts. My professional path has been shaped by working with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, complex trauma, impostor syndrome, questions of identity and belonging, as well as the pressures of migration and adapting to new environments.

Before settling in the Netherlands, I lived and worked across three continents, which deepened my understanding of the emotional and relational challenges that come with change, especially in intercultural settings. I’ve worked in clinical settings, social organizations, and with communities in vulnerable situations particularly migrants and LGBTQ+ populations.

In therapy, I aim to offer a space where people can reflect on their own story, suffering, and desires beyond expectations of quick fixes or self-optimization. I believe that each person’s psychic life has its own rhythm, and that true change takes time, care, and curiosity. Sessions are offered in Portuguese or English, online or in person.
