About Me
Pedro Paulo Ortolan
Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst, graduated from USP in Ribeirão Preto, with more than three decades of experience dedicated to caring for the human soul. I found in Psychoanalysis an essential therapeutic tool to understand the unconscious dynamics that influence people’s emotions, behaviors, and lives.
I am a full member of the Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis of Ribeirão Preto (SBPRP), where I previously served as president and currently act as Executive Director. I have also been Secretary Director of the Brazilian Federation of Psychoanalysis and I am a member of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA), with recognized work in the fields of mental health and aging.
I provide care for people from different backgrounds in a specialized Psychoanalysis and clinical supervision practice, promoting emotional well-being through self-knowledge. My goal is to help each patient face their personal and professional challenges, building a more balanced and meaningful life.
Brazilians Living Abroad
Living abroad can be the fulfillment of a dream, but it also brings challenges that affect mental health. Loneliness, anxiety, professional or academic frustrations, and the difficulty of cultural adaptation are common experiences for many expatriates.
Each journey is unique: transferred professionals, students, families, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, or refugees face specific emotional situations that deserve attention. Even though the reasons may differ, the difficulties are legitimate and do not need to be faced alone.
That is why I offer online sessions in Portuguese, ensuring that you are understood in your native language and culture. The sessions are conducted with the same seriousness, confidentiality, and safety as in-person consultations, supporting you in your process of adaptation, self-discovery, and emotional strengthening.
Online Sessions
Online therapy offers the same care, confidentiality, and quality as an in-person session.
It’s an invitation to care for yourself in your own space, at the pace of your routine, wherever you are.
One click is enough to open a space for listening, support, and transformation — with the same depth and presence as a traditional office.

Psychoanalysis is a path to better understanding yourself, dealing with internal conflicts, and transforming your relationship with life.
