Dr. Giorgia Pro

Dr. Giorgia Pro is an English-speaking psychologist in Rome. She receives patients in person in Rome and works online with people living elsewhere in Italy and abroad, in Italian, English, Spanish and French. She works with children, teenagers, adults, couples and families.

She graduated in Developmental and Educational Psychology, a background that gives her a working understanding of how people grow and what they need at each stage of life, from childhood through adulthood. She then specialised in psychodiagnostics, which is the assessment side of the work: understanding what is actually going on before deciding what to do about it. She is currently training in relational psychotherapy.

Her approach is systemic and relational. The premise is that difficulties rarely sit inside one person in isolation: they take shape in the relationships a person lives in, at home, at school, at work. That is why she works not only with individuals but with couples, parents and whole families – sometimes the most useful change is not in the person who asked for help.

She works with anxiety, self-esteem, questions of identity, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, trauma and relationship problems. With younger patients and their parents, that often means holding two conversations at once: what the child is going through, and what the family around them is doing with it.

She also works with ADHD, autism and specific learning differences, and offers tutoring for students with SLD alongside therapy. The premise there is not repair. A brain that reads, focuses or processes differently is not a broken version of a standard one, and the work is about finding the conditions in which that person functions well, at school and outside it, rather than training them to pass as someone else.

She spent time in Australia as an exchange student and is at home in English, Australian and Spanish cultural contexts. For a family raising children between two countries, or a teenager who thinks in one language and is schooled in another, that familiarity is not decoration: it is the difference between explaining your context and being understood in it.

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. Pro 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. Pro 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 Rome where you can meet in person, not only online.

Giorgia Pro 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: Giorgia Pro, 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. Pro is registered with the Italian Order of Psychologists. In Rome she receives at two locations in the city, and works online with patients across Italy and abroad.
