Thaisa "Thai" is a caring psychologist with experience in supporting children and pre-adolescents facing a wide array of conditions: emotional and psychological circumstances or situations that children and pre-adolescents might be dealing with, such as medical illnesses, developmental challenges, emotional difficulties, or behavioral issues.
Thai completed her studies in 2014 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo - Brazil with academic exchange experience at the University of Porto - Portugal.
