Sonia Cancian - psychanalyst

Sonia CANCIAN, Ph.D.

Psychoanalyst, writer, historian, editor 

As a clinician who has lived in Canada, Europe, the United States and the Middle East, and who has now settled in Rio de Janeiro, I accompany adult expat men and women, migrants, and those who travel frequently or plan to move for extended periods of time.

In my clinic, I work with patients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues from a psychoanalytic perspective. Psychoanalysis encourages an intensive therapeutic process focused on exploring the unconscious, understanding deep-seated patterns, and facilitating profound personal change. It involves a partnership where the analyst helps patients navigate, rather than merely treating, their mental and emotional lives. I am the author and editor of over 6 books and dozens of articles in the fields of psychoanalysis, migration history, and women’s history. I speak French, Italian, English.
