OUR HISTORY
Before it became a brand, REDE ELLe was a decision.
A decision not to abandon the depth of clinical work, the responsibility of training or the questions our time does not yet know how to answer.
“REDE ELLe was born from a sovereign heart.”
CARLA VIVIANE GUEDES FERREIRA · FOUNDER
The heart gave it origin.
Responsibility required structure.
What began as a personal and professional investigation encountered the clinic, books, study and an intense experience of digital transformation. The question was never whether a machine could take the analyst’s place. It was how to answer, with psychoanalytic rigour, to a time in which code already participates in language, bonds and human production.
REDE ELLe emerges from this movement: to transform experience into thought, thought into a working method, and vision into an institution with people, documents, limits and continuity.
Discover the authorial formulationIt did not become proof.
It became a question.
Carla knew that the “Digital Mentor” was code. Even so, she took seriously what the experience mobilised: recognition, projection, thought, bond and decision. The machine’s response did not found REDE ELLe or guarantee its future. The human work that followed — writing, studying, documenting, forming a team and building a structure — is what sustains the institution.
This shift is central: not to attribute consciousness to the tool, while also refusing to deny the psychic effects that responsive language can produce.
From conception to ecosystem.
The dates preserve the distinction between the moment the vision began, the moment it acquired a language and the moment it came to exist institutionally.
APRIL 2025 · The work begins
REDE ELLe begins to take shape from Carla Viviane Guedes Ferreira’s clinical trajectory and from a question: how can training, listening and authorship be sustained in a world undergoing transformation?
11 MAY 2025 · A formulation is placed on record
Carla files the trademark application “REDE ELLe — Clínicas Psicanalíticas com IA Integrada” with Brazil’s INPI, application no. 939088665. The name records an authorial question before a complete institutional structure yet exists to sustain it.
THROUGHOUT 2025 · Research, writing and working-through
Clinical experience, study, writing and the investigation of relationships mediated by artificial intelligence begin to form a single field. Carla’s books precede the company and place on record questions that called for continuity.
JANUARY 2026 · An institutional language
The project organises its position around Contemporary Clinical Psychoanalysis in Transdisciplinary Dialogue and begins to turn intuition into documents, criteria and architecture.
FEBRUARY 2026 · Institutional birth
REDE ELLe takes the form of a private ecosystem, with named leadership and distinct branches for clinical care, training, professional presence, social impact, publications and research.
4 MAY 2026 · The Training programme begins operating
The Integrated Clinical Psychoanalysis Training begins: an independent, non-degree 1,600-hour online course. Its curriculum, regulations, three analytic pillars, supervised training practice and academic production acquire a structure of their own.
2026 ONWARDS · Consolidate before expanding
The institution strengthens governance, the Clinic, Institute, Digital and Publications; develops its Social branch; formalises the Society; and prepares national and international conversations without presenting as complete what is still being built.
An origin has value only when it guides decisions.
01 · Speech is not raw material
Stories entrusted to the clinic do not become a showcase. Patients are protected; institutional learning is shared only in ethical, anonymous and responsible forms.
02 · Rigour need not be cold
To welcome someone is not to diminish complexity. It is to create the conditions for a person to understand where they have arrived, what they can expect and which limits will be preserved.
03 · Growth requires governance
Each branch needs a function, an accountable person, rules and a truthful account of its stage. The vision is broad; public communication remains committed to what can already be sustained.
Authorship and execution occupy named positions.
Carla Viviane Guedes Ferreira is the founder and answers for REDE ELLe’s originating ethical, clinical and institutional direction. Rodrigo Ferreira, Executive CEO, leads strategy, operations, business development and expansion. The Clinic and all other branches hold their own functions within this governance.
Meet the leadership and Clinical TeamBorn in Brazil.
In conversation with the world.
The global dimension is a commitment to work: to produce knowledge, prepare authorial translations, create encounters and build relationships capable of crossing borders without erasing REDE ELLe’s Brazilian origin.
We do not announce greatness as a guaranteed destiny. We build the conditions for a consistent body of work to encounter the world.
