Clinical Psychologist, Sex Therapist, Researcher, Author, Content Creator

I'm an Italian young millennial, born in Southern Italy, raised in the suburbs of Rome. I studied in Italy until high school, then I got my undergraduate and graduate education in the Netherlands. I worked in scientific research in psychology and neuroscience both in the Netherlands and in Italy. I studied for a year in Spain and then decided to move back to Italy for good to pursue my training as a clinical psychologist and sex therapist, which is my job now as a private practitioner (in Italian and English, at the moment 100% remotely with clients all over Italy and in some European countries) as I continue my training to become a certified psychotherapist. I create content online about psychology, sexuality, relationship, the LGBTQAI+ community, the link between mental and physical health. Since I lived the first couple of decades in Italy and the I studied and worked abroad, then I got back to Italy to continue my education (I'm currently enrolled in yet another master's degree in Sapienza, in Rome, and I'll be starting my psychotherapy training classes in January) I feel like I can give a unique perspective on both the general culture, lifestyle and academic world and also the clinical psychology field, which I think can be useful for your listeners.
