Espaço Humaniza

What Espaço Humaniza does

Espaço Humaniza is a private mental health clinic headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2016 by Flávio Pereira Fróes. The clinic operates three physical units — Tatuapé, Paulista (Avenida Paulista), and Guarulhos — and provides psychiatric, psychological, and psychotherapy services to adults and children across the São Paulo metropolitan area. Its treatment portfolio covers ten-plus conditions including anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and general psychotherapy, with delivery via evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and psychodynamic approaches, often combined with medication management where clinically indicated.

Core services are Psiquiatria (psychiatry) and Psicologia (psychology), complemented by a Telemedicina channel for remote consultations and dedicated treatment program pages per condition (e.g., ansiedade, depressão, TDAH, TOC). Underlying technology is conventional: WhatsApp-based booking, a WordPress-style website, and a dense local SEO footprint of 100+ neighborhood- and metro-station-specific landing pages. There is no mobile app, no public API or SDK, and no disclosed AI or data platform; the clinic's only described technology differentiator is its 'integrated mental health treatment' model combining therapy and psychiatric care.

Espaço Humaniza generates revenue on a primarily pay-as-you-go basis through privately billed consultations, with patients able to seek reimbursement from partner health insurers Sami, Omint, and Care Plus using documentation the clinic provides. The company employs 11-50 staff, is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiary structure, and concentrates all operations in Brazil. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with lead capture via WhatsApp, phone, website, and organic local search.
