How it works

The work begins with your everyday experience.

In your first conversation, you can share what brought you here, meet Lucas and ask questions. Goals are agreed together rather than following a fixed plan for everyone.

01

CBT in daily life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy explores how thoughts, feelings and actions relate. Therapy can help you understand difficult situations and try new ways to respond.

02

Neurodivergence

Autism, ADHD and twice-exceptionality can bring questions about organization, overwhelm, relationships and self-understanding. Care considers each person's needs and strengths.

03

In person or online

Sessions may take place at Clínica Ler in Porto Alegre or by video call. Format and frequency are discussed individually.

Lucas founded the clinic after seeing how hard it was for twice-exceptional people to find a place that understood their experience. The first meeting is also time to ask questions and discuss care.

Before starting

Psychotherapy and assessment serve different purposes.

Psychotherapy is ongoing care. If the question is about exploring a diagnostic hypothesis or cognitive profile, psychological assessment, psychodiagnosis or neuropsychological assessment can be discussed separately.
