Online therapy in Rio de Janeiro
Online therapy in Rio de Janeiro is a recent phenomenon, even though it is already one of the most important answers to the profound social crisis that affects our country. In metropolitan Rio, more than five million people – or nearly 40% of its population – live in poverty. More than 4,000 children sleep on the streets every night and around 3,500 commit crimes with devastating consequences.
Since the city does not have adequate care for these people, it is no wonder that new initiatives are emerging based on this reality. Among them is Online Therapy Brazil, which has been working with patients since 2011 and currently exercises its activities in Rio de Janeiro.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
