Private-practice psychiatrist in Brasília — with real consultation time
Individualized care, unhurried and with no insurance-plan queues. For those who understand that treating mental health requires listening and continuity, not a quick prescription.
Private-pay only · No insurance plans accepted · Formal invoice (nota fiscal) provided for reimbursement
About the care
🕐 Real consultation time
One-hour consultations — two hours for the first session. Enough time to understand who you are, the context of your life, and what is actually going on. Not a 15-minute review just to adjust a dose.
💊 Medication when needed, therapy always
Medication is one tool among many. Treatment includes psychotherapy conducted by the physician himself — with formal training in psychoanalysis — because understanding the symptom is as important as controlling it.
🤝 Individualized follow-up
A treatment plan built for your reality, not an off-the-shelf protocol. Continuity of the therapeutic bond, without rotating professionals.

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept insurance plans?
No. The practice is private-pay only. This choice allows us to offer the consultation time and the depth of evaluation that proper treatment requires — something that insurance-plan rules make impossible.
How does reimbursement through my insurance work?
You can request partial reimbursement from your health-insurance plan (this depends on the specific terms of your contract). We provide a formal invoice (nota fiscal, issued with the business CNPJ) in the format required by insurers. The reimbursement request is filed by you directly with the plan.
What does it cost?
To keep financial information private, the fee is shared directly by Bárbara (Dr. Leonardo’s assistant) over WhatsApp. There is a single flat fee — the same for the first consultation and for follow-ups.
How do I book an appointment?
Through WhatsApp. Bárbara replies within a few minutes during business hours, walks you through the process, and offers available time slots.
Where is the practice located?
Plano Piloto district, Brasília, Brazil. The full address is sent along with the booking confirmation.
