From her professional experience in the field of psychological health, working with children, adolescents with childhood psychiatric disorders and their families, Clarice invites us to undertake a journey toward ourselves through inner neuroscience and holistic psychology. She is a specialist in Autism and ADHD, a doctor in psychology and a neuroscientist at one of the most recognized universities in the world, UCLA, as well as a sailor. Her lectures aim to transmit everything she knows, lives, deals with and researches in neuroscientific, clinical and behavioral psychology. Additionally, as a college professor, mother, writer, therapist, and sailor, she brings all these facets of her reality and helps everyone know how they can make their dreams come true, even if there is a medical diagnosis. Spirituality transformed her life. Through meditation, she teaches her children, family and patients the path of self-transformation through neuroscience. Her master and spiritual guru Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi), turned her existence into an unprecedented path.
Committed to issues such as the transformation of the current educational system, environmental preservation and transdisciplinary and inclusive mental health, Clarice is a citizen of the world where she lives in different countries with her three adolescent children, a cat and a dog. Together with her family, she explored strange lands and seas of both storms and calm, always with a big smile!
Clarice Peres sails the Waters of the Oceans and the Soul. As a neuropsychologist, she shows us the most outstanding advances in the science of the brain and how they can be useful in all the journeys of life. In her life aboard her sailboat, called “Size Matters”, she combined her professional passion with her love for the sea and sailing, using “Sailing Therapy”!
My life was practically connected to university life, I started my first university at the age of 17 and until today I continue to study what I love: the brain and mental health of children, adolescents and their families. Always traveling the world with my three children and our pets. I speak all over the world, I am a writer with over 30 years of experience in university education and research and clinical psychology.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
For a single woman with three small children: I could give you a list of challenges and difficulties. But I prefer to say that all of them, even the toughest and most difficult ones, those that make you almost give up on everything: they all made me stronger and better prepared! A better person every day! I never gave myself the right to mediocrity, I always gave the best of myself! And always paying the price for!
What were you like growing up?
I already am and I do what I love! But I am starting a new stage of studies and training. Despite already having a PhD in Psychology, I see a latent deficiency of psychiatrists specialized in ADHD and Autism, so I am taking on yet another challenge in becoming a child and youth Psychiatrist.
