Dr. Ludovica Bosetti

Dr. Ludovica Bosetti is a clinical psychologist in Genoa who offers sessions in five languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French and German. She receives patients in person in Genoa and works online with people living elsewhere in Italy and abroad, with individuals and couples from 11 years old onwards.

A five-language clinical practice is rare, and the reason it matters is practical rather than impressive. Therapy runs on precision: the difference between sad and the word you would actually use in your own language is often the whole diagnosis. Working in the language you are most at home in removes the translation layer entirely.

Her areas of expertise are emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, psychosomatic symptoms and what she calls profound emotional suffering: inner emptiness, disconnection and existential distress. That last category is worth naming precisely because it has no obvious label, and people carrying it often assume it does not qualify as a reason to seek help.

She also works with anger and impulsivity, loneliness, personality difficulties, emotional dependency, gender and identity questions, burnout and stress.

Her approach is integrative and evidence-based, combining CBT, DBT, mindfulness, guided imagery and elements drawn from yoga practice, and she is training in psychosomatic psychotherapy. She is explicit that she does not apply one model to everyone: the therapy is shaped around the person.

She works to build a safe, compassionate and attuned space in which someone can understand themselves better, reach their own resources and move towards change that lasts.

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. Bosetti 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. Bosetti 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 Genoa where you can meet in person, not only online.

Ludovica Bosetti 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: Ludovica Bosetti, 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. Bosetti is registered with the Italian Order of Psychologists. She receives in Genoa and works online with patients across Italy and abroad.
