Beatriz Zendron

CBT

Free initial consultation

Hi! My name is Beatriz Zendron. I'm a psychologist providing online psychotherapy. Currently, I'm finishing a master's degree in Psychology. Moreover, I have taken additional courses and specializations for clinical psychological care, mainly in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBTs). I have experience in treating and assisting adults with emotional and behavioral disorders or having problems in their professional or personal life. During the therapy process, I help you to develop essential psychological abilities to obtain wellness, achieve your goals, and live a meaningful life. I aim to provide mental health care based on scientific evidence, with safety, quality, and above all, tailored to your needs and objectives.

Yuri Marques

Exsistential

Free initial consultation

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Brazil with over 600 hours of clinical practice, helping teenagers, adults, and senior citizens.  I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where issues, thoughts, and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach combines Existential and Client-Centered Therapy. Within the therapeutic relationship, we will work to develop goals to support your individual needs and move towards change. I have worked with clients who experience a wide range of concerns such as addiction, purpose anxiety, depression, generalized anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, family problems, self-esteem, sexuality, and relationship issues. I look forward to working with you!

Déborah Levitan, Ph.D

psychodynamic

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in private practice, and I offer my counselling services to clients worldwide. I grew up in Brazil, but I did my postgraduate studies in England and Switzerland. I was originally trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, but I tend to think systemically, looking at each person in context. I try to help people find the natural healing resources available within their relational and cultural systems. Whatever is going on in your life, I am here to help you to make changes to alleviate your suffering and increase your enjoyment of life. . I have experience in supporting clients dealing with a variety of problems, from anxiety, depression, and work-related stress, to relationship, family, and intimacy issues.

How it works

Just a few steps to get support

Choose a professional

Group zoom call

Whether you need help to deal with anxiety, relationships, depression, or other issues, we have an experienced pre-vetted therapist to help you. You can read more about our vetting process below.

Book a free consultation

User scheduling something on calendar

After choosing a professional, schedule your initial consultation. The first session is always free of charge, and it's an opportunity to get to know your therapist and to determine if you're a good match. If not, you can continue trying other therapists for free.

Keep going

Video call on the phone

When you find a therapist you like, continue seeing them as often and for as long as you want. Sessions are private, secure, and at least 50 minutes long. And because Upwell has no membership fees, you only have to pay for the sessions you book.

The vetting process

1 - Education

Therapists must meet the minimum education requirements, including at least five years of education at the post-secondary level, a degree in Psychology granted by a recognized University, and practical experience in Clinical Psychology.

2 - License

Man showing a certification.

Therapists must have a registration and must be in good standing. They must also be explicitly authorized to provide online psychotherapy, which includes a legally binding contract in which, among other things, they agree to take necessary precautions to protect patient privacy.

3 - English

Therapists must have professional proficiency in English. As part of the intake call, therapists are interviewed in English by a fluent speaker.
