Despertar da Mente | Gabinete de Desenvolvimento Pessoal

Psychologist Cascais services at Despertar da Mente support healthy development for children, young people and adults. Based in Carcavelos, the practice provides clinical psychology, educational psychology and speech therapy, with online appointments available across its psychology and speech therapy services.

Clinical psychology includes psychological assessment, child psychotherapy, and psychotherapy for young people and adults. Assessments use observation, dialogue and formal evaluation to consider behavioural profiles, emotional dynamics and intellectual potential, and may be requested for legal, school, educational or medical purposes.

For children, psychotherapy may use symbolic play, games and creative expression, with parents, guardians and family generally playing an important role in the process. Support for young people and adults is available for people facing more complex periods in life, including social, eating, sleep, school or behavioural difficulties.

The practice is led by Andreia Novais, a clinical psychologist and effective member of the Ordem dos Psicólogos Portugueses. Appointments can be requested directly with Despertar da Mente in Carcavelos or arranged online.
