About me

My name is Rachel Schwartz, I'm a Brazilian psychoanalyst who currently lives in Lisbon, Portugal. 

​

I graduated from Centro Universitário IBMR in Rio de Janeiro and, since then, I have worked clinically from the perspective of psychoanalysis. After that, I continued to specialize in Clinical Psychology at PUC-Rio where I improved my knowledge. 

I have lived in some countries and, therefore, most of my analysands are also immigrants. 

I understand that the immigration path can be a complex journey, full of emotional challenges. As a psychoanalyst, my approach is permeated by deep understanding and acceptance. I have experience working with expats, both in Portuguese and English, recognizing the cultural and linguistic nuances that shape their experiences.

​

In the sessions, we seek not only to understand the immediate issues, but also to explore the deeper roots of the emotions linked to this transition.

I'm here to provide a safe space where your journey is understood and where we can build strategies together to face challenges and promote improved emotional health.

​

Here, I intend to bring a little uncomplicated psychoanalysis, recommendations for books and series and a space for exchange and reflection.
