INTERCULTURAL ORIENTATION

What is Intercultural Orientation?

It is a psychological and educational support program focused on the challenges of adjusting to a new culture and managing cultural differences.

​

Who can benefit from OI?

Expats, immigrants, international and exchange students, professionals who interact with other Countries; Brazilian citizens living in other Countries and Foreigners living in Brazil. The orientation can be done with individuals, couples or families (children over 12 years old)

​

Is I.O. the same as Therapy?

Although it can play an important role in offering emotional support during transitions, this service does not configure a Psychotherapy per se , since it has a predefined structure a specific number of sessions, and it also includes informational content about cultural differences .

 

Sometimes a request for Psychotherapy may arise from an initial O.I. program. In this case, a new contract can be agreed upon.

​

* During the Coronavirus Pandemic, meetings will take place exclusively online. After the situation improves, in-person consultations can be scheduled in my office in Rio de Janeiro (Largo do Machado/Flamengo).
