Garden of Healing Secrets
Dr. Rosilda Alves is a clinical psychologist, a survivor, and a tireless advocate who transforms pain into purpose.
With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, she writes to break the silence and create space for healing.
Her first book, The Garden of Secrets: Hope and Healing, opened crucial conversations about abuse in communities where it is often ignored.
Her work continued with three tender children's books: Secrets, Believe Me, and Look at Me, which help young survivors find hope and safety.
Her writing is raw, spiritual, and deeply human. Every word she writes is a lifeline for those struggling to find their own voice.
Her mission is simple yet powerful: to help others reclaim their voice, feel seen, and know-without a doubt-that they are never alone.
