When should I see a psychologist or psychotherapist?
Small signs can reveal a discomfort that deserves attention: persistent worries, panic attacks, low energy, insomnia, irritability, difficulty concentrating, somatization (headaches, muscle tension, irritable bowel). Acting early reduces the risk of chronicity and speeds up results.
⭐ When your mind races and sleep slips away, pausing and being heard is already part of the cure.
Who we see and what we treat
We support people from childhood to adulthood, individually and as a couple, offering a safe space to name anxiety, mood changes, and life transitions.
We work with anxiety disorders — GAD, phobias, social anxiety — and panic attacks; depression and mood disorders; OCD with intrusive thoughts and compulsions; work-related stress and burnout. We also treat sleep disorders, trauma, bereavement and PTSD, somatization and mind–body regulation, as well as family and couples difficulties with parenting support.
Therapeutic pathways for every age and stage of life
- For young people (6–17) we address emotional–behavioral difficulties, school anxiety, self-esteem and social skills, involving caregivers through parent training and parental counseling.
- For adults we work on anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, trauma/bereavement and somatization with practical tools to regain energy, sleep, and clarity.
- In couples therapy we address communication, conflict management, trust, life projects and parenting, with shared timing and goals.
Methods, areas of expertise, and how we work
We offer different therapeutic orientations:
Psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy, which explores deep patterns underlying emotions and relationships through personal history and the therapeutic relationship, fostering awareness, integration, and lasting change;
Transactional Analysis (TA), which works on Ego States (Parent/Adult/Child), life scripts and communication transactions. Clear therapeutic contracts and shared goals, in individual and couples settings, help enhance self-regulation, self-esteem, and the quality of bonds.
We operate in specialist fields such as:
- primary parent–child relationship (including high-risk pregnancies)
- eating disorders in childhood/adolescence
- ADHD and attentional/hyperactivity issues
- psychosomatic problems in children
- sexual development and gender identity
- trauma and grief processing
- complex transitions (settling/relocating, migration, school changes)
- parenting
- couple difficulties across the family life cycle
In every pathway we tailor intensity and duration to personal history and shared objectives, balancing depth of understanding with targeted clinical tools, respecting each person’s timing and sensitivity.

Working with other specialties (360° care)
Many situations benefit from a multidisciplinary approach. We work closely with Psychiatry (medication assessment when indicated), Neurology (headaches, cognitive issues, red flags), Sleep Medicine (chronic insomnia, suspected OSA), and Clinical Nutrition (energy, mood tone, food–wellbeing relationship). This internal ecosystem saves time and unnecessary steps, improving outcomes.
⭐ Body and mind in dialogue: neurology, psychiatry, sleep, and nutrition work together for your balance.
FAQ
1) How long until I see benefits?

If emotions and behaviors are the main issue, start with psychology/psychotherapy; we’ll evaluate any psychiatry referral if needed.
