The objective of this case study is to report the experience of psychological emergency attendance developed in an Umbanda backyard, with emphasis on the construction processes of care and mental health care. The service was structured from the person-centered approach and assumptions of multicultural counseling and ethnopsychology. Cristal is a young girl with a young son and lives with her mother. On service complained of severe chest pain and panic attacks for fear of dying from this condition, as well as difficulties in the relationship with the mother. The medical reports did not show any cardiac involvement. The person-centered approach assumes the autonomy, including the human being has any power over the decisions that affect it, which is most important that the diagnosis process. The religious community found it hard to understand their complaints, but made room for listening to their problem. We conclude that the reception given by the community and within the psychological emergency attendance aligns the movement that touts the need to diversify the spaces psychosocial care and the supply of mental health care.
