You've been pushing through for so long but somewhere along the way you've lost track of yourself... I can help you slow down enough to see what's really going on.
I’m Elisa, an Italian psychologist based in Berlin. I work mainly online with people dealing with burnout, addictions, and a difficult relationship with their body. Often these things surface in moments of change, when life looks different on the outside but something inside hasn't caught up yet.
I trained in clinical settings in Italy working with people through some very intense experiences, which means I'm comfortable going to difficult places without getting unsettled. Today, this means I focus on staying present and attuned to what is happening in the moment, especially when things feel confusing or intense.
I also know from personal experience what it means to leave everything behind and start over somewhere new. Living abroad changes you in ways that sneak up on you, and sometimes that's exactly when old patterns come back, or new ones take hold in ways you didn't see coming.
In sessions, I talk less than you might expect. I give a lot of space: for things to surface, for thoughts to take shape. I pay close attention to the emotional space between us, and to how your experience unfolds session by session. I'm not here to hand you a list of things to do. I'm here to help you understand what's actually going on, because that's usually where something real starts to shift.
If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out. The intro call is free, and there's no pressure.
I see therapy as a collaborative process: we build it together, at your pace, giving full attention to your experience.
My work draws from Self Psychology, which focuses on core needs for connection and a stable sense of self, and Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, which views relationships, including the therapeutic one, as central for personal growth. I also integrate tools from CBT, mindfulness and values-based approaches, but always in service of something deeper than just behaviour change.
