Dear all,
I am delighted to announce that Alessandra Lassen, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has become a certified AEDP therapist!
Alessandra is deeply invested in her development as an AEDP therapist.
She is available, attuned, and responsive, with a loving yet firm presence that provides the sense of safety her clients need to facilitate transformance. She embodies the AEDP relational stance, bringing authenticity, emotional availability, and attunement to the therapeutic relationship as central agents of change. Her work has been very inspiring to the entire Brazilian AEDP community.
Ale’s reviewers wrote about her work:
“What a privilege it was to review Alessandra’s beautiful work. She demonstrates, with remarkable precision, all of the skills of a very seasoned AEDP therapist.
I was especially struck by Alessandra’s relational work in both recordings. It was so warm and loving, yet also persistent and firm. Her relational work creates an environment of safety and bravery, building a clear bridge to transformance. It is very clear how deeply Alessandra carries the scaffolding of AEDP in her bones.
I found myself smiling at the coordinated relational experiences between Alessandra and her patients, the obvious pleasure and delight they took in one another, and the ways Alessandra helped her patients access and love these younger and disowned parts of themselves.
Sublime work from a very skillful clinician!”
Please join me in congratulating and celebrating Ale’s accomplishment.
Warmly,
Gabi Mendes
