psychotherapy
Dr. Paola Acca
my approach
Each person carries a unique story, made up of relationships, experiences, wounds, and desires.
Psychotherapy is the space where this story can be welcomed, listened to, and rewritten with new words.
My approach is based on the systemic and socio-constructivist model, which considers the individual within the networks of meaning and relationships that surround him.
I believe that change comes from dialogue: from the opportunity to observe our experiences from new perspectives, to recognize our own patterns, and to build new ways of relating to ourselves and others together.
In this journey, therapy becomes a process of awareness and discovery, where one can learn to make sense of what happens, to reactivate one's resources and to find balance and authenticity.
It's not about "changing who we are," but about finding a freer and more vital way of being.

encounter and transformation
Therapy is a meeting between two people who choose to take time to understand, accept, and transform.
It is a journey that begins with dialogue, is nourished by trust, and grows through relationships.
Each session is an opportunity to listen to what often remains silent: emotions, thoughts, memories, unspoken needs.
Through words, listening, and shared reflection, new meanings, new possibilities, and new forms of balance emerge.
I deeply believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a space for change and freedom.
