Ritratto professionale della Dott.ssa Chiara Bentivogli, psicologa
Registered Psychologist · Registration no. 11630Emilia-Romagna Board of Psychologists

Nice to meet you

I’m Chiara,
a psychologist.

I provide psychological support to adolescents, young adults, and adults, and I am currently completing postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

My work begins with the person's individual experience, with attention not only to what is happening in the present, but also to the meaning it takes on within their personal history, relationships, and way of experiencing themselves and others.

Alongside my clinical work, my background in School and Community Psychology and my specialist training in Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) inform my work with children, young people, and families around learning and school difficulties.

I grew up in Italy in an Italian-American family and have spoken both English and Italian since childhood. Today, I offer psychological consultations in both languages.

How I can help
