PSYCHOTHERAPY

What Is Psychotherapy at iSIM Instituto Simone Marangoni?

Psychotherapy at iSIM is a welcoming, ethical and technically qualified space for clinical listening, designed to help clients understand their thought patterns, regulate their emotional responses and reframe conflicts that cause psychic suffering. Grounded in a deep understanding of human functioning, our psychotherapeutic practice integrates advances in neuroscience with Cultural-Historical theory, recognizing that emotional suffering is deeply tied to life stories and social relationships.

With the clinical coordination of psychologist Simone Marangoni (CRP 06/56505), we offer an environment of absolute confidentiality, free of judgment, where the client develops self-knowledge, psychological flexibility and functional strategies for facing moments of crisis, biological changes and life transitions.

Who Is Psychotherapy For?

Psychotherapeutic follow-up is recommended for anyone seeking specialized support to overcome emotional difficulties or enhance their well-being, and is carried out after the integrated neuropsychological assessment:

• Anxiety Disorders: Panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias and excessive worry.
• Depression and Mood Disorders: Persistent sadness, apathy, anhedonia, hopelessness and a sense of emptiness.
• Stress and Professional Burnout: Burnout syndrome, work overload and difficulty balancing work and personal life.
• Grief and Complex Transitions: Processing the loss of loved ones, separations and abrupt life-stage changes.
• Relationship Conflicts: Difficulties with interpersonal communication, affective insecurities and boundaries in relationships.
