About

Hello, I’m Dr. Cai Carvalhaes

My main goal in therapy is to help clients to heal their wounds and discover their dormant archetypal potentials using a technique that I have created called Awakening Potential.

I have a PhD in Depth Psychology, and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker, hypnotherapist, and spiritual-growth facilitator. My PhD in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices was pursued at Pacifica Graduate Institute in California.

As an LCSW, I specialize in mindfulness- and somatic-based individual and group therapy for the treatment of stress, anxiety and depression as well as sexuality and gender-related difficulties.

As a national Certified Hypnotherapist (or CH), I offer hypnotherapy for clients seeking to develop personal life goals, increase inner strength and achieve an overall better quality of life. I am certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH).

I also offer shadow work hypnotherapy and past-life regression to address trauma and phobias. I was trained in past-life regression by American Psychiatrist Brian Weiss, M.D. and work with many clients world-wide who are seeking psychospiritual support. In my life as a therapist, I have had the opportunity to witness numinous experiences in sessions, guiding my patients’ self-growth and spiritual exploration.

During my life’s journey, I have endured several challenges that led me to meditation and yoga. Today, I teach clients how to develop meditation practices to help them reconnect to their inner selves. A certified yoga teacher (E-RYT 200), I also lead clients through breathing and yoga exercises to promote mind and body balance.  In 2019, I was initiated into The Modern Mystery School to explore how ancient knowledge can further inform my healing practices.
