Private practice

January ​2014 - Present

 

I'm a Psychologist and Lacanian Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.

I work using a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach.

At the centre of the therapy there is the person's uniqueness. The treatment proceeds from the breaking point, or from a symptom, or perhaps from something the patient is not aware of, through to the possibility that these weaknesses are converted into strengths.

 

Mental health care home coordinator

November 2012 - October 2015

 

During this time I was the Clinical and Educational Coordinator for the Mental Health Care Home "Microcomunità Giambellino", in the "Fraternità e amicizia Cooperative Society".

The project was sponsored by Milan Municipality.

There were four guests, who were suffering from mild to medium intellectual disability and psychiatric comorbidity. The project's aim was to help these people to find better mental balance, and to become more independent from the family, and to be more autonomous in their everyday life. 

 

School psychologist and psychotherapist

October ​2011 -  June 2015 

 

School psychologist and psychotherapist for the project "L'autobus delle conoscenze) in two secondary schools. I also worked in the clinical centre of the cooperative, "Animamentis", where I treated a number of people with good clinical outcomes. In addition, I received some students in my private practice when the situation required more then solely school support.

Once I had qualified as a psychologist I started the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist School and I became a trainee psychotherapist at the Fourth Department of the Psychiatric Clinic at Niguarda Hospital in Milan, where I was treating patients. I was supervised by the clinic director psychiatrist Dr. Freni Salvatore, and by the psychiatrist Dr. Viganò Carlo, my school professor, who was working at the hospital.
