I&#8217;ve always been passionate about people&#8217;s uniqueness and the opportunity to support them on their journeys of development, through times of change, crisis, or self-discovery. <\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting them through life&#8217;s challenging transitions. I have also provided psychological assessments in specific contexts such as sports and television, where I have been able to explore individual resources and the most vulnerable aspects that are activated in highly exposed and emotionally charged situations. <\/p>\n<p>I provide psychological diagnoses and individual and couples psychotherapy, carefully considering the complexity of the life cycle and the context in which each person finds themselves. My approach is integrated, respectful, and mindful, with the goal of creating a safe space for understanding, transformation, and growth. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is my work: Throughout life, we may experience difficult times, crisis situations, or periods of particular emotional distress. In these circumstances, the desire or need to consult a psychotherapist may emerge, either to address a specific discomfort or persistent symptom, or to delve deeper into the meaning of one&#8217;s distress within the relationships and life contexts in which it manifests. Other times, however, one chooses to begin psychotherapy not because &#8220;something is wrong,&#8221; but to take more conscious care of oneself, improving the quality of one&#8217;s life and psychological well-being.<br \/>This may be, for example, the desire to better address an important role, such as that of a parent, or to rediscover balance and authenticity in a relationship, or even to learn to listen to oneself more, to make choices more in tune with one&#8217;s needs and values.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

It&#8217;s a process that isn&#8217;t always easy, but it&#8217;s profoundly transformative, allowing one to reread one&#8217;s history with fresh eyes and, step by step, rewrite one&#8217;s way of being in the world. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Psychotherapy is, first and foremost, a relationship: founded on trust, collaboration, and listening. The psychotherapist is not a judge, but a guide, a traveling companion who walks alongside the person, supporting them in exploring their emotions, difficulties, and resources. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss13.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Davide-Livio-Mindswiss13&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;1cc6152f-565c-4c4d-b0c9-cf8c9576c341&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;112px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;-24px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.12)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss7.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Davide-Livio-Mindswiss7&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;1cc6152f-565c-4c4d-b0c9-cf8c9576c341&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;112px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;-24px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.12)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#57cc99&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Testo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|funneldisplay-regular_weight|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#22577a&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; quote_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;72px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.15em&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;17px&#8221; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Each path is unique, tailor-made together with the patient, but generally goes through three main phases:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Initial phase \u2013 Meeting and getting to know each other.

An authentic, safe, and attuned relationship: it is there that the possibility of feeling seen, accepted, and rewriting one&#8217;s inner story arises.

I nurture them, protect them, and listen to every fragment.   <\/p>\n<p>I approach the inner world of those I meet with curiosity and respect, without judgment, seeking to understand the profound purpose of every behavior, even that which may seem most dysfunctional or incomprehensible.

It&#8217;s home, it&#8217;s a medium, it&#8217;s language.<br \/>Before becoming a therapist, I was an athlete for many years. The rigor of my training, the discipline, but also the deep connection with my body taught me to respect its signals, to recognize its limits, to trust its silent wisdom.  <\/p>\n<p>Today I bring all this into the therapy room: I integrate bodywork as a fundamental tool for reconnecting with oneself, for learning to feel before understanding. The body holds stories, memories, emotions. And sometimes, it is precisely from there that we can begin to heal.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss18.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Davide-Livio-Mindswiss18&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;1cc6152f-565c-4c4d-b0c9-cf8c9576c341&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;112px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;-24px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.12)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;A clinical example&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;6ad51489-a43c-41d1-bb6a-3c2142b561f6&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I think of Anna, a woman who had been in a serious car accident.

In the first sessions, through storytelling and the support of the therapeutic relationship, we began to explore these emotions, and then used EMDR cautiously: little by little, she began to separate the present from the past and, slowly, began to drive again with serenity.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#57cc99&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Titolo e sottotitolo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#3c3a47&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.75em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|funneldisplay-regular_weight|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#22577a&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; quote_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;72px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.15em&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;17px&#8221; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Mountains, nature and return to oneself<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#57cc99&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#3c3a47&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.75em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|funneldisplay-regular_weight|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#22577a&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; quote_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;72px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.15em&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;funneldisplay-bold|funneldisplay-bold_weight|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;17px&#8221; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>For me, nature is an inner place.

Surfing is part of my life, and without even looking for it, it has become a natural metaphor for my approach to therapy.<br \/>The ocean is unpredictable. It requires respect, listening, and presence. So is our inner life. So is the therapeutic relationship.    <\/p>\n<p>In surfing \u2013 as in therapy \u2013 you learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>To wait, with confidence.<\/strong> You don&#8217;t force the wave, you don&#8217;t force change. You observe, you listen, you recognize the right moment to act. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Living with unpredictability.<\/strong> Every session, like every wave, is different. Flexibility and adaptation are valuable tools. <\/li>\n<li><strong>To feel with the body.<\/strong> Surfing is done with the whole body, not just the head. So is change: it comes from feeling before understanding. <\/li>\n<li><strong>To recognize one&#8217;s limits and protect them.<\/strong> Knowing how to return to shore, knowing how to say &#8220;not now,&#8221; is an act of strength and healing. Like therapy, where you learn to set boundaries and protect yourself. <\/li>\n<li><strong>To fall without feeling wrong.<\/strong> Falls aren&#8217;t failures: they&#8217;re part of the journey, an opportunity to learn and get up with greater awareness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To find a rhythm, a flow.<\/strong> Surfing is all about alternating: waiting and action, stillness and intensity. The same goes for therapeutic work, which requires pauses, processing, and time. <\/li>\n<li><strong>To experience a sense of mastery.<\/strong> You can&#8217;t control the wave, but you learn to ride it. You can&#8217;t eliminate emotions, but you can learn to ride them, to navigate them, to stand tall in the current. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss14.webp&#8221;

I believe that beauty, in all its forms, has a transformative power: it speaks to us without words, it nourishes us, it reminds us that even in difficult times we can find forms of light. <\/p>\n<p><strong>I like to travel.<\/strong> It&#8217;s something that has always inhabited me: the desire to learn, to discover different cultures, ways of thinking, and sensibilities. Entering the minds of those who speak another language of the soul is one of the experiences that most fascinates me. <\/p>\n<p>Traveling has taught me to suspend judgment, to embrace the unknown with a fresh perspective. I bring the same spirit to my clinical work: every patient is a journey, a world, a story to be explored with respect and presence. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;

Its goal is to develop the ability to act in alignment with one&#8217;s values \u200b\u200band goals, even when faced with difficult emotions or thoughts.<br \/>Developed by Steven C. Hayes, ACT integrates acceptance and mindfulness strategies with commitment-to-action and behavior modification techniques to promote psychological flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Psychological flexibility refers to the ability to fully connect with the experience of the present moment and\u2014based on what the situation allows\u2014choose whether to change or maintain a behavior consistent with what is important to the person.<\/p>\n<p>ACT therefore helps people live more authentically and consciously, promoting profound and sustainable change over time.<br \/>The goal is not to eliminate suffering, but to enable people to act effectively, building a meaningful life even when pain is present.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss12.webp&#8221;

ACT helps us reconnect with what truly matters, taking action even in the presence of pain. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cultivating acceptance and commitment, if practiced over time, fosters psychological flexibility and greater emotional well-being.<br \/>The therapy is experiential: the patient is actively involved in exercises, symbolic explorations, and &#8220;experiments&#8221; to be applied between sessions. Change arises from direct experience, not just verbal reflection. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mindswiss.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Davide-Livio-Mindswiss12.webp&#8221;
