Andrea Zagaria – Psicologo Clinico

Hi, you landed on the right page 🙂 Let me briefly introduce myself: my name is Andrea Zagaria, I’m an licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Phd in Psycometrics. I’m based in Italy in Turin, though the web makes me available worldwide 🙂

Throughout the years, I’ve taken on various roles, from entertaining children, working in schools, and being a university researcher. Now my main activity is being a clinical psychologist and I work with people struggling with several emotional and psychological disturbances.

I love being a Psychologist because it allows me to go beyond the usual barriers, to face what is underlying the daily surface of “apparent normality”. That is: emotional difficulties, embodied trauma, recurring harmful interpersonal schemata, implicit bodily memories, conditioning from infancy…

My studies have allowed me to collaborate with people from around the world and to live and spend time abroad in both Edinburgh (UK) and Vienna (Austria). The cultural diversity always stroke with me with deep fascination: what I love the most is to attest how the same universal “natural” motivations vary across a broad spectrum of cultural differences, niches and practices.

I help those going through emotional turmoil: anxiety, depression, panic, post-traumatic disorders (simple and complex), psychosomatic symptoms, and pervasive interpersonal difficulties are amongst my areas of expertise.

You shouldn’t necessarily have proper symptoms to work with me though: a wish to know themselves and own’s soul better is more than OK to have a satisfying psychological journey 🙂

My main focus and interest is on personality structure and deep change, but I try to prioritize the restoring of daily functioning if that is compromised and only aftwerward to go at a deeper level.

I employ a broad spectrum of techniques, ranging from classical cognitive-behavioral techniques, to trauma-informed sensorimotor tools, transference and countertransference managament, guided imagery and fostering an inner dialogue between different sub-personalites.

My practice is mainly delivered in Italian, but I wanted to offer the possibility to english-speakers to access therapy too.

To be honest, I was skeptical at first…not being a English native-spaker, how could I grasp the most intricate knots of one’s soul in a therapy session? However, after some time practicing as a clinical psychologist, and also thanks to my own therapy, I slowly embraced the notion that words are important and necessary…but the probably the less important thing in therapy and in personal healing.

Also, practicing in English would allow me to discover a new way of being-with-the-other other than the usual one mediated by my intellectualistic italian words 🙂
