Adulthood
Adulthood is characterised by various stages which involve a different focus and responsibility, and in turn, demand personal, intellectual, and emotional resources in different contexts. Thus, it is typical that at some point during this stage we are overwhelmed by self-demands or the demands of our environment. In the department for adults at Alae Psicólogos, we have a professional team, with a wide knowledge of the phases of adulthood and the resources and problems involved. This allows us to use a multidimensional approach, which is highly tailored to each individual. Empathy, understanding and support for the person are the foundations of the therapeutical relationship which is essential to achieve the desired results.
