CLIA

What CLIA does

CLIA is a multi-disciplinary mental health and rehabilitation clinic founded in 2005 in São Paulo state, Brazil, operating under the registered name CLIA Psicologia, Saúde & Educação (trading as CLIA Psicologia). The clinic runs an integrated care ecosystem across 13 specialties — psychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nutrition, neuropsychology, psychopedagogy, music therapy, psychomotricity, behavioral guidance, ABA therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder, clinical direction, and school advisory — staffed by 73 professionals. Its core operating methodology is an interdisciplinary case-discussion model in which patient cases are reviewed collectively across specialties to co-build individualized care plans, branded internally as the "CLIA Method."

The service portfolio spans roughly 20 specialized programs including infant, child, adolescent, adult, and elderly psychotherapy; neuropsychological assessment; projective psychological assessment via the Rorschach method; couple and family therapy; school advisory for ASD inclusion; and proprietary therapeutic approaches branded as Ramain (group body-expressive work) and Dia-Log (active-listening conversation model). The clinic operates from two physical locations — three addresses in Santo André and one in Piracicaba, both in São Paulo state — and supplements in-person work with online psychotherapy delivered for adolescents 15+ through elderly. There is no proprietary software product, AI system, mobile app, or technology platform; the offering is wholly service-based.

The business operates two revenue streams. The first is a direct-to-consumer segment in which individuals (and families) self-refer and book initial interviews via WhatsApp or phone across all life stages. The second is a B2B segment branded CLIA Saúde Corporativa (CLIA Corporate Health), which delivers workplace mental health services, psychosocial risk management, organizational diagnosis, continuous mental-health programs, reporting/indicators, and Brazilian NR-1 regulatory compliance support to enterprise buyers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; there are no announced funding rounds, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, no patents, no partnerships, and no public financial metrics. Marketing is concentrated on the company's own website (cliapsicologia.com.br) with WhatsApp as the dominant booking channel — there is no evidence of paid digital acquisition, social-media advertising spend, or formalized channel partnerships.

Direct peers

• Zenklub: Brazilian mental health platform offering online therapy and corporate EAPs, including NR-1-aligned programs. Directly comparable to CLIA on the corporate mental health side and a primary competitive threat on the online therapy side.
• Vittude: Brazilian online therapy marketplace serving both individuals and corporate clients with workplace mental health programs. Competes with CLIA on direct-to-consumer therapy demand and corporate contracts in the same São Paulo and national employer market.
• Wellz (formerly Psicologia Viva): Online psychology platform operating in Brazil with large clinician supply and direct corporate clients. Comparable to CLIA's individual therapy and online psychotherapy offerings and to its corporate mental health ambitions.

Emerging players

• Conexa Saúde: Brazilian telehealth platform spanning multiple specialties with growing mental health coverage. Adjacent competitor on the digital delivery model CLIA uses for online psychotherapy, with broader clinical scope.
• Cíngulo: Brazilian mental health app focused on therapy, meditation, and corporate wellbeing. Overlaps with CLIA's online therapy and corporate wellbeing offerings, with a more productized, app-based delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Grupo Fleury: Major Brazilian diagnostic and ambulatory healthcare group with growing presence in integrated outpatient services. Comparable as a broader ambulatory healthcare incumbent expanding into multidisciplinary care models.
• Doctoralia (Docplanner): Large healthcare professional booking platform operating in Brazil across many specialties including mental health. Comparable as a patient-acquisition channel and indirect competitor for individual therapy demand.
