Therapsy may not be the right fit for you if:

• You are under 18 years old and cannot provide documented consent from both parents or a legal guardian.
• You are in an emergency situation and require immediate assistance.
• You need urgent psychiatric care that prevents you from engaging in a calm and structured online therapy process.
• You have thoughts of harming yourself or others.
• You are required to attend therapy as part of a court order.
• You do not have access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone or lack a reliable internet connection.

If you fall into any of these categories, please dial 112 (from European countries) or reach out to emergency services near you. Unfortunately, due to legal and service policies, we cannot provide direct assistance in these situations. However, if you need help finding a local service that suits your needs, don’t hesitate to contact us – we’ll gladly assist you in locating the right resources.

Your safety comes first!

At Therapsy, we believe each person is unique and important. That’s why we conduct a thorough assessment process to understand the individual’s functioning, as well as the dynamics and processes behind their discomfort. Only after this assessment do we create a specialized, personalized therapeutic plan that serves as the gold standard for addressing the specific issues the patient presents. And of course, all of this is infused with a good dose of kindness and empathy!

We’ll do our best! At Therapsy, we have therapists who speak several languages, with English being the most commonly and fluently spoken by expats and foreign students. Feel free to call and ask! We’ll let you know right away which languages are available for your sessions.

At Therapsy, your therapist will be carefully chosen to match your specific needs and preferences. During your free assessment call, our clinical director will consider factors such as:

• Your goals and concerns: We’ll match you with a therapist experienced in addressing the issues you’d like to work on.
• Your language preferences: We have multilingual therapists to ensure you feel understood and comfortable.
• Your gender preference: If you have a preference for a male or female therapist, we’ll take this into account to ensure you feel at ease.
• Your personal preferences: Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, or have specific requests, we tailor the match to your needs.

All of our therapists are licensed, highly qualified, and have been selected for their expertise and ability to create a safe, supportive space. You’ll be in experienced and caring hands throughout your therapeutic journey.

Our therapists are top-notch! We carefully and thoroughly select them to ensure the best service for our patients. However, if you don’t feel a connection with your therapist, it’s completely normal: sometimes it’s just a matter of personal chemistry! In that case, we’ll work with you to understand the reasons and match you with a different therapist who better suits your needs.

At Therapsy, our primary approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). However, just like a bow needs more than one arrow, we believe that an integrated approach is the most effective way to provide meaningful and lasting help to our patients. That’s why our therapists are trained in various therapeutic methods, including EMDR, Schema Therapy, Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Constructivist Cognitive Therapy, among others.

In Italy, only those who are registered in the Register of Psychologists as a Clinical Psychologist or Psychotherapist can practice the profession. However, there are differences between these two roles. The clinical psychologist is someone who has completed his university studies, but has not continued with specialization and, therefore, does not have the necessary training for the treatment of psychological or psychiatric disorders. The psychotherapist, on the other hand, is a psychologist who has also carried out a specialization lasting 4 years, which allows him to have a curative role in the treatment of mental disorders or, more generally, of psychological distress, through scientifically validated techniques and approaches.

The psychiatrist is a medical doctor and, as such, can prescribe drugs to alleviate symptoms and mental distress. The psychiatrist can also be a psychotherapist, but like everyone, to become one, he must have attended specialization school.

For your mental health, rely only on certified psychotherapists!

The cost of therapy through Therapsy starts from €75 per session and varies based on your location, source, preferences and therapist availability. You can stop your therapy at any time, for any reason.

Sessions typically last between 45 and 60 minutes, offering flexibility to ensure that key topics are addressed without feeling rushed. The exact duration may vary based on the depth of the issues discussed and the pace that feels most comfortable for you. Our priority is to provide a space that supports meaningful progress in each session.

It’s difficult to determine exactly how long your therapy journey will last without first understanding the specific reasons behind your discomfort. After an initial assessment, your therapist will provide feedback on the issues you’ve shared and, together, you’ll set goals. Based on these, the therapist can offer an estimate of the therapy’s duration and the recommended frequency of sessions to achieve the best results. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the length of therapy can change over time, as new topics or situations may emerge, affecting the course and outcome of your journey. Regardless, any adjustments will always be discussed and agreed upon with your therapist—nothing will happen without your knowledge and consent.

Yes, you can schedule your sessions at times that work best for you. After being matched with your therapist, you’ll coordinate directly with them to agree on the most convenient days and times for your sessions. This flexibility ensures your therapy fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Therapy goals can be tailored to fit the time and budget you have available. Be open with your therapist about your financial situation, and together you can prioritize the most important issues and find a solution that works for you, ensuring you still benefit from the sessions.

Therapsy recommends that you first verify whether your insurance covers all or part of the costs of psychotherapy. If it does, ask your insurance company what specific information needs to be included on the invoice. Once you have the exact details, your therapist will ensure the invoice is prepared accordingly and you can submit it for reimbursement following your insurance company’s guidelines.

Absolutely. In Italy, psychotherapy is classified as a medical expense, meaning you can claim a portion of the cost as a tax deduction. To do so, be sure to keep all your invoices and related documentation. When filing your taxes, you will need to include these expenses under the medical deduction section. We also recommend consulting a tax professional to ensure you are taking full advantage of the available deductions and understand the specific percentage that can be deducted.

Yes, you can reschedule or cancel a session by contacting your therapist via chat. To respect the time and work of our therapists, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for any changes. If you fail to provide at least 24 hours’ notice, the missed session will still need to be paid for. This policy ensures fairness and allows us to maintain a high-quality service for all our clients.

After the initial sessions, your therapist will assess whether a psychiatric consultation and medication could help improve your well-being. If needed, they can refer you to a trusted psychiatrist who is verified by Therapsy and part of our team. Your therapist will continue to collaborate with the psychiatrist throughout your treatment to ensure you receive the full benefit from both therapy and medication.
