My Motivation

DR. JOÃO PEDRO LAGARELHOS

My name is João Pedro Lagarelhos, and I entered the world of psychology driven by a constant curiosity to understand the human mind, because I believe that “what is essential is invisible to the eyes,” and because I am interested in communication and the interactions between people, much like a journey into the unknown, where there are new languages and new ways of being with one another.

My Passion

DR. JOÃO PEDRO LAGARELHOS

It is in this mindset, my way of being, that I graduated in Clinical Psychology from the University of Coimbra. I specialized in an area related to family dynamics, precisely to continue this journey with the role of guide, mentor, and counselor for people, with people, for people—face to face, and always available.

Client Testimonial for Dr. João Pedro Lagarelhos
"Excellent psychologist. Vast knowledge, insightful perception, and extremely empathetic and respectful when it comes to the patient’s emotional state and current moment. The approach and treatment are integrative (mind, body, soul). Methodical analysis and vision for the short, medium, and long term. Dr. João Pedro Lagarelhos led me to adopt a change in posture, guiding me in the creation of new thought patterns, generating new feelings, and consequently making different, more conscious, constructive decisions that align with my true essence. The foundations were worked on, generating greater confidence and a sense of internal security. My self-validation of thoughts and feelings, as well as self-compassion, were strengthened, establishing firmer personal boundaries and ensuring the integration of grounded conscious practices to be constantly present in my daily life. This helped me make new decisions and build a more solid emotional structure, breaking long-standing patterns. The result of this self-knowledge work impacted my direction in a short period, reducing anxiety levels, increasing feelings of well-being, self-esteem, and focus, and knowing where to direct it. I am grateful for this boost and impulse in my life. For all the attention, sensitivity, and care. An active listener, precise analysis, a set of wise words and analogies can make all the difference and strongly influence one’s ongoing conduct in life. His devotion to the profession, reflected in his dedication, organization, and genuine will to help others, makes all the difference. Congratulations on your existence and for leaving a transgenerational mark as an instrument of purpose and service to others."
