01 · Areas of care
Understanding your difficulties is the first step.
Do you leave meetings with clear decisions but struggle to put them into practice? Do urgent requests crowd out your priorities, important tasks remain half-finished, or thoughts about work make it hard to switch off and rest? These are concerns you can bring to a consultation.
ADHD is the main focus of care. Assessment considers your history, sleep and routines, alongside anxiety, depression and other possible explanations for the difficulties you are experiencing. You do not need an existing diagnosis to book an appointment.
02
Anxiety
Care for persistent worry, tension and anxiety symptoms that affect sleep, relationships, decisions or your ability to switch off from work.
03
Depression
Evaluation of changes in mood, interest, energy and functioning, considering your symptoms, history and current circumstances.
04
Performance and quality of life
A clinical approach to difficulties with concentration, organisation, sleep and the demands of a busy life. The aim is to understand what is happening and discuss an individual care plan.
Depending on your history and needs, assessment may also explore autism, giftedness and twice-exceptionality. Further assessments by other professionals may be recommended when indicated.

Before your appointment.

Care is available from age 6. Children aged 6–13 are seen only in person in Florianópolis. Adolescents aged 14–17 may be seen in person or online after prior contact and an assessment of whether the care is suitable. At least one legal guardian must be present for appointments with children and adolescents, including online appointments. Adults can choose between in-person and online appointments.
Does an adolescent need to agree to the appointment?
Yes. The adolescent must want to attend or be willing to take part in the consultation. If they do not wish to attend, contact the practice before booking to discuss how to proceed. At least one legal guardian must also be present.
Can I arrange an online appointment from outside Brazil?
The practice offers online consultations for people in Brazil and abroad. When contacting the practice, let the team know the country where you will be during your appointment so that arrangements and any local requirements can be discussed before booking.
How does an online appointment work?
Online appointments take place through Google Meet. The first consultation lasts approximately one hour on average. Choose a private, quiet place with a stable internet connection, and have any relevant reports and a list of current medications available.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis before booking?
No. An appointment can be arranged to investigate difficulties that have not yet been diagnosed. A demanding career or a difficulty concentrating does not, by itself, establish a diagnosis. The assessment considers your history, symptoms and daily functioning.
How are prescriptions handled if I live abroad?
The practice provides digital prescriptions by email and/or WhatsApp. For patients abroad, an English medical certificate can support a consultation with a local doctor. Local prescribing and dispensing requirements apply; a Brazilian prescription is not a guarantee that a medicine can be obtained in another country.
What happens after the initial assessment?
The frequency and format of follow-up are agreed according to your needs. Follow-up can include full consultations or shorter appointments with specific objectives. The format, duration, contact arrangements and fees are explained before you commit to a plan.
Is this a private practice?
Yes. Appointments are private and paid directly to the practice. The consultation fees and payment methods are listed on this page. Ask the team about your preferred method and currency before paying.
Is the service suitable for emergencies?
No. The website, WhatsApp and scheduled appointments are not emergency services. If you need immediate help, contact the emergency services in your current location or go to the nearest emergency department.
