Maria Celia Delgado de Carvalho, PhD
Psychoanalyst, Psychologist - CRP 06/49665
I currently focus on my private practice, in person or on-line.
Since the beginning of my career I invested in my continuous formation, as a member of the School of Psychoanalysis of the Lacanian Field Forums since its foundation. At this institution I was the Clinical Formations Coordinator and I am currently a Delegate at the International Forums and a member of the Board.
In parallel, as a commitment to social responsibility, I offer psychotherapy to children and families at the NGOs Nosso Olhar and Lado a Lado, which assist children and teenagers with special needs and their families.
For 9 years I lived in South Africa, where I completed my PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies.
During this period I also helped victims of crimes through the NGO Victim Support which works with the Johannesburg Police and I also organized Workshops on Aggressivity at the NGO Mzanzi-Brazil linked to the Brazilian Embassy in Pretoria / South Africa.
