With over 18 years of experience, my professional journey began in Brazil, where I worked as a Clinical Psychologist and supervisor, supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. Now based in Canada, I continue this work as a Registered Psychotherapist, offering a therapeutic space that is culturally sensitive, ethical, and deeply compassionate.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, I’m committed to supporting each client with empathy, respect, and thoughtful care.

I understand that taking the first step to seek support can feel daunting — but it is also an act of courage and self-respect. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where we can work together to enhance your emotional well-being. My goal is to help you navigate challenges, achieve meaningful therapeutic outcomes, and build a more fulfilling life.
At Paula Zezza Psychotherapy, we recognize that life can often feel overwhelming and uncertain. Everyone deserves a supportive space to explore their emotions, heal from past wounds, and grow into their fullest self. Therapy is a powerful opportunity for reflection, healing, and personal transformation — and I’m here to walk that path with you.
