André obtained his PhD in Psychology from São Paulo State University in Brazil and is currently completing a second PhD in Social and Political Thought at York University. He is an excellent communicator, able to offer counselling in both English and Portuguese.

​​

In his counselling practice, André draws on extensive experience as a Psychologist in primary care in Brazil. His approach integrates psychosocial, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-bahavioural perspectives to provide holistic, evidence-based support.

Professional Development

"In counseling, I draw on psychosocial, psychoanalytic, and cognitive-behavioural ideas to navigate the stress of becoming a better man in a moment of history in which malehood is under constant public scrutiny and criticism.

 

As some role models from the past are problematic, and new ones are still in the making, it can be pretty disorienting to navigate the expectations that society, partners, and we place upon ourselves. Together, we will explore the tools to bridge the gap between who you are now and who you want to become.

 

We will do this while improving your skills to manage the anxiety, loneliness, and discomfort one faces when learning how to foster meaningful connections and build a fulfilling life.

Since 2016, my life has been nomadic. As a professor, researcher, and therapist, working between São Paulo, Toronto, and New York, I had to face the less glamorous side effects of being a digital nomad: isolation, cultural conflicts, and the challenges of self-discipline.

 

The resources and ideas we will discuss in our sessions are some of the ones I used in challenging times. You are the specialist in your life and your journey, so during our sessions, we will explore with curiosity to find a way around the obstacles preventing you from taking your next step, whatever it is.

 

We can also do this in English or Portuguese."

    Guys Resolve has partnered with One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every counselling or therapy session that we do with clients. We have started planting, and are catching up, retroactively, to the very beginning of the practice.

     

    The metaphor of planting feels right as each counselling or therapy session plants something in us that continues to grow long into the future.

     

    One tree might not seem like much, but over time, all of our work together will add up to a forest. As the trees continue to grow, helping to clean the air and cool the planet, we will continue to see growth in ourselves, and as a result of that growth, the change we effect in the world. 

    Thanks, we'll be in touch soon.
