Elizabeth Brisola

I am a psychologist, researcher and clinician originally from Brazil, passionate about exploring people’s lived experience and meaning-making processes. I enjoy collaborating with researchers worldwide driven by a deep commitment to understanding the emotional, social, and motivational experience of people navigating adversity.

My works spans diverse populations, including mothers, Black women, musicians, Brazilian immigrants, and hospice caregivers. As a postdoc, I am investigating employment and recovery. My research is person-centered and phenomenological, highlighting the transformative power of empathic, authentic human relationships and their potential to foster healing and resilience.
