Barbara Svevi

Psychologist-Psychotherapist and specialised in developmental neuropsychology with a neuroconstructivist orientation

Her training and clinical experience have led to the awareness that working in the developmental field requires synergetic and integrated work, which is why she seeks multidisciplinary sharing as much as possible in her clinical practice.

As a professional self-employed, she is involved in functional psychodiagnostics, subsequent planning and, if needed, taking charge of Rehabilitation and Psychotherapeutic interventions with patients from early and later childhood, adolescents and young adults with neurodevelopmental difficulties or disorders.

With this in mind, strengthened by the conviction that in the developmental age working with patients cannot be separated from the active involvement of the family system, she is dealing with the design and implementation of interventions to support parenting and diagnostic pathways.

Finally, alongside her self-employed activities, she collaborates as a psychologist fellow in the Child Neuropsychiatry department of the Regina Margherita Hospital, at the Neurodevelopment outpatient clinic.
