I am Anna Valfredi, a licensed Psychologist and Psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults. I offer therapy sessions in my private practice in Milan and online.
I was born and trained in Milan, where I graduated in Clinical and Developmental Psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca. Since the beginning of my career, I have worked extensively with international and multicultural populations, developing a strong clinical focus on the psychological challenges related to migration, cultural transition and identity.
From 2019 to 2025, I worked as a Clinical Psychologist at Opera San Francesco per i Poveri in Milan, providing psychological support to immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and victims of human trafficking. This long-term experience strengthened my ability to work in English and to integrate cultural, family and migratory backgrounds into the therapeutic process with sensitivity and clinical depth.
I completed postgraduate training in Emergency Psychology, with a specific focus on migratory trauma and adaptation stress, and later specialized in Psychodiagnosis. I am trained in the use of clinical interviews and psychodiagnostic tools when useful to better understand a person’s functioning and needs.
From 2019 to 2023, I trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Area G (Milan), with a focus on adolescents and adults, and completed my clinical internship at Ospedale Policlinico di Milano. I obtained my qualification as a Psychotherapist in 2024.
I offer a structured yet flexible therapeutic approach. The first phase consists of an initial psychological consultation, aimed at understanding your concerns, personal history and current difficulties. Based on this assessment, we may then begin a therapeutic path through regular sessions, tailored to your needs and goals.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress, trauma, culture shock, homesickness, anger and difficulties related to life transitions. I have particular clinical experience with adolescents and young adults, especially around themes of identity, self-esteem, academic stress, relational difficulties and emotional regulation.
I believe that therapy is built first and foremost on a safe, respectful and trusting relationship. My goal is to offer a space where you can feel understood, supported and free to explore your inner world at your own pace.
Sessions are available in person in Milan (Loreto M1 / Piola M2) or online.
Overall
Anna is warm and welcoming. She let me be myself and I opened up about a lot of issues. She has been supportive throughout my journey and she has been very therapeutic. She also gave me the space to heal and I started to notice there were positive changes happening in my life. I am so grateful for her.
