Espaço SPES

Health, Psychotherapy, Education and Clinical Sexology

At SPES, we believe that psychological and relational well-being stem from a focused and personalized understanding of each individual. We are a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in Psychology, Family and Couple Therapy, Clinical Sexology, Social Work, and Medicine, working in a coordinated and human-centered way. We value the uniqueness of each client’s story, viewing emotional, relational, and physical challenges as interconnected parts of a larger system.

We offer specialized support for adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children, fostering balance between body, mind, and relationships. Our approach is systemic,

grounded in deep listening, technical rigor and the therapeutic relationship as a space for jointly building meaning and possibility.

Everyone who comes to us is welcomed with respect, care, and dedication. We believe that hope is born in the encounter with the other — and it is this hope that we seek to cultivate, one gesture at a time.

At SPES, we believe that truly caring for someone means listening to them fully — in their emotions, their attachments, their body, and their context. It was with this vision that our team was created: a group of professionals from complementary fields, united by the shared commitment to promote mental, relational, and sexual health in an integrated, rigorous, and human-centered way.

We are a team specialized in Systemic Psychotherapy, Family and Couple Therapy, and Clinical Sexology, joined by professionals in Psychology, Medicine, and Social Work.

We work in a coordinated, multidisciplinary way, guided by a systemic approach that recognizes each person as part of a broader system of relationships, contexts, and life stories.

Psychotherapy and Clinical Sexology are at the heart of our work — therapeutic spaces where it is possible to reflect on suffering, give meaning to difficulties, and build pathways toward change and well-being. We value attentive listening, grounded in respect, ethics, and scientific knowledge, and seek to welcome each individual, relational, or sexual story with sensitivity.

Our team

We share a passion for teamwork and for the complexity of human relationships. We believe that care finds its strength in encounters: between professionals, between knowledge areas and, above all, between people.

At SPES, each professional brings their own experience, but it is through dialogue and collaboration that we find the best responses for those who come to us. Because well- being is born of deep listening — and hope is built in relationship.
