I’m Dr. Emanuele Cosimo Altomare, psychologist, neuroscientist, and founder of Level Up Academy. My professional path is driven by one mission: to make neuroscience practical and transformative, helping people and organizations understand how the brain shapes behavior, emotions, and growth.
After earning my Ph.D. in Neuroscience, I deepened my expertise through international research experiences in Finland and Los Angeles, exploring how neuroplasticity and cognitive flexibility influence motivation and change. In December, I will complete my specialization in Psychological Assessment and Counselling at Sapienza University of Rome, which also grants my qualification as a licensed psychotherapist.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked across clinical, corporate, and educational settings, combining scientific rigor with a human-centered vision. I founded Level Up Academy to bring together neuroscience, psychology, and coaching into one integrated ecosystem for development. My work ranges from clinical interventions and psychological evaluation to high-impact corporate programs in leadership, performance, and emotional intelligence.
I’m also the author of “Brain@Work”, a book that explores the mechanisms behind personal transformation through the lens of neuroscience. Every chapter translates complex brain science into accessible tools for daily life, because understanding your mind is the first step toward mastering it.
My approach blends evidence-based science with empathy, clarity, and creative thinking. I believe every mind can evolve, and that even small shifts in awareness can unlock profound change. Whether in therapy, coaching, or organizational development, I aim to activate measurable, brain-informed transformation, helping people move from insight to action, from knowing to becoming.
