Clinical Psychology Roma Near Me

4worldlovers:
Cross-cultural care for today’s international English speaking expat community in Rome

Therapy can help you to replace negative and unproductive thought patterns with more present and beneficial ones. Treatment focuses on exploring your thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal relationships to help you gain greater clarity and self-awareness. It will be tailored to your individual needs, enabling you to care of your symptoms and to improve your wellbeing. Both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy are available.

The goals of psychodynamic therapy include, but extend beyond, symptom remission. Successful treatment should not only relieve symptoms (i.e., get rid of something) but also foster the positive presence of psychological capacities and resources. Depending on the person and the circumstances, these might include the capacity to have more fulfilling relationships, make more effective use of one’s talents and abilities, maintain a realistically based sense of self-esteem, tolerate a wider range of affect, have more satisfying sexual experiences, understand self and others in more nuanced and sophisticated ways, and face life’s challenges with greater freedom and flexibility.

I have lived abroad as an exchange student in the USA (North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois) and as an expat worker in Europe (Germany, Spain). These experiences have enriched both my cross-cultural background and my understanding of the difficulties in adjusting to a new environment may bring. I currently work with foreign students and international workers who require individual support in Rome.

Psychotherapy conducted by a licensed clinical psychologist is one of the expenses which your health insurance may cover. Please check your specific medical insurance plan, each insurance company has also a different procedure for invoice reimbursement or for direct billing to the health service provider.

4worldlovers: I provide psychological support to individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, cultural adjustment, relationships, sense of self, depression, anxiety and overall emotional well-being. Although my training was primarily based on cognitive and behavioral techniques, I am adept at utilizing integrative modalities, and I maintain a collaborative, individualized and relational approach. I have an extensive background working with individuals from many cultures and life experiences.

I am a licensed psychologist in Italy (Ordine degli Psicologi del Lazio n. 19808) and in the state of Massachusetts, USA (Commonwealth of MA Division of Professional Licensure, License #9628). I graduated from the Università di Bologna, Italy, received my PhD in psychology from the University of Chicago (Chicago, USA) and completed a specialization in clinical psychology from Suffolk University (Boston, USA).

4worldlovers: With lifelong multicultural experience of my own, I have been able to provide effective counseling for patients from all over the world, addressing their specific culture-related problems.


While face-to-face therapy sessions are always preferable, they are not always possible. For patients that live abroad or cannot come to my office for other reasons, I provide the option of online counseling via Skype.

I am a registered psychologist and psychotherapist with a multicultural background and life experience, being half Swiss and half Italian and having lived and worked in Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and Africa.

I work one-on-one with patients to treat anxiety, mood, adjustment, stress and somatic disorders, as well as identity and self-esteem, personal and professional problems; I also promote personal growth and self-knowledge (Jung’s Path of Individuation).

My therapeutic approach is primarily psychoanalitical but, according to the needs of the person, I also draw on other psychological approaches and intervention techniques such as mindfulness. I might also ask the patient to tackle certain tasks designed to help develop, cultivate and reinforce more effective coping skills, even assigning homework.

And too, I encourage the reading of selected materials on topics treated in therapy.
