About Otavia Pires de Camargo
Otavia Pires de Camargo began her path into therapeutic work more than a decade ago, first training in Art Therapy and discovering a sustained passion for emotional healing and personal growth. Over the years she has expanded her practice and deepened her clinical skills, integrating insights from early childhood development, attachment theory, and trauma-focused approaches into a client-centered framework.
She creates a warm, collaborative space designed to cultivate self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional repair. Her work takes a holistic view of wellbeing, blending mindfulness and compassion-focused practices with breathwork to support regulation of the nervous system and a restored mind-body connection.
Otavia emphasizes the capacity to respond rather than react during difficult moments, inviting integration of thoughts, feelings, and physical experience so that people can find greater balance. She accompanies individuals through relationship difficulties, workplace challenges, and inner struggles by offering careful, compassionate inquiry into what may be repressed, hidden, or unspoken.
A decade-long meditation practice informs her presence in sessions, and a lasting interest in philosophy and ancient wisdom complements her psychological approach. Her aim is to support reconnection with each person’s innate capacity for healing and resilience, fostering self-compassion, emotional strength, and a fuller sense of wellbeing. She welcomes meeting people where they are.
