Dr. Chiara Trisotto

Dr. Chiara Trisotto is an English-speaking clinical psychologist working in Milan and Pavia. She receives patients in person in both cities and works online with people living elsewhere in Italy and abroad, in English and Italian, with teenagers, young adults, adults and couples.

She graduated with honours from the Faculty of Clinical Psychology at the University of Pavia, specialised in cognitive neuropsychological psychotherapy, and completed advanced training in the clinical assessment and treatment of ADHD.

ADHD in adults is her defining area. She provides specialised support for people managing life with an ADHD diagnosis, which is a distinct problem from getting the diagnosis in the first place: what to do with a work routine, a relationship and a self-image that were all built around the assumption that you were simply not trying hard enough.

She works with neurotypical and neurodivergent people alike, which matters: neurodivergence is treated as part of the picture rather than as a separate department.

Her practice covers the full range, from clinically significant psychological disorders to existential and emotional distress: anxiety, low mood, confusion, and the feeling of being lost. That last category is worth naming, because it is real and is often what stops people from seeking help. Nothing is technically wrong. Nothing works either.

She believes in the uniqueness of each person and works from individual stories and lived experience, focusing on understanding emotions rather than fitting them into a rigid theoretical frame.

You do not have to pick her yourself. At Therapsy every person is matched by a human being, not by an algorithm: our clinical team reads your request, and if Dr. Trisotto is the right fit for what you are bringing, they will introduce you. The first call is free, and it is there to check that the fit is real before anything begins.

Fewer than 1 in 100 therapists joins the Therapsy team. Dr. Trisotto was personally vetted by our Clinical Director, Dr. Francesca A. Boccalari, on three non-negotiable criteria: she shares our values, she speaks at least one language beyond Italian, and she has a physical practice in Milan where you can meet in person, not only online.

Chiara Trisotto does not work alone. She takes part in Therapsy’s internal clinical supervision, a standing group where therapists bring their most demanding cases, train together and ask for help when a situation calls for it. Every therapist in the network, Case Managers included, can turn to our Clinical Director for clinical questions and further training, and Therapsy runs regular professional training with senior therapists and external trainers. Scheduling, invoicing, payments and the rest of the paperwork are handled by Therapsy, so that her time with you stays clinical work and nothing else. On your side, the same platform gives you one place to see your sessions, invoices, payments and documents.

At Therapsy you do not have to pick your therapist from a list: you start by speaking with Dr. Francesca Boccalari, our Clinical Director, who listens to what you are going through and matches you with the therapist she believes is right for you: Chiara Trisotto, or one of her colleagues. Then you have a free introductory call with that therapist, and only after that do you decide whether to start.

And if the fit turns out not to be right, you are not back at square one. Dr. Boccalari and her team find you another therapist inside Therapsy, at no cost, without you having to tell your story from the beginning. Choosing a therapist while you are struggling, in a language that is not your own, is a lot to ask of a person. That is the part we take on.

Dr. Trisotto is registered with the Italian Order of Psychologists. She receives in Milan and Pavia and works online with patients across Italy and abroad.
