I am Pedro Gevaerd, a psychoanalyst, linguist, and professor. I grew up with a psychiatrist father, a professor of psychopathology and mental health, and a pediatrician mother specializing in somatization and immunity. I believe that somehow I have always seen life from a psychoanalytical perspective.
My first area of interest was the Arts. I have always found it fascinating to be able to understand the world and express myself through other "languages".
Over time, my professional life turned to applied linguistics and its subjacent mental processes, where I deepened my study in the use of languages as a means of efficient expression and communication.
Throughout my years of work in the corporate world, guiding clients in achieving a more robust and sophisticated spoken and written discourse, I could see that the great difficulties, in most cases, are related to psychoanalytic aspects. Linguistics, then, ended up taking me back to psychoanalysis.
Therefore, “feeling home”, I offer an attentive, ethical, inclusive, and contemporary clinical psychoanalysis in order to encourage a tangible improvement in the life quality of all clients.
Psychoanalysis is also known as “the talking cure”. Come talk to me.
