Welcome!

I’m Lodovica Guidarelli (she/her), a bilingual Italian-American psychotherapist passionate about helping clients navigate and overcome life’s challenges with compassion and care.

I work with individuals, couples, and parents, offering support tailored to their unique needs. I am a neurodivergence- and gender diversity-affirming therapist. My specialization lies in working with clients who have experienced trauma—whether recent, past, ongoing, or those who are unsure if what they’re facing qualifies as trauma.

My approach blends trauma-informed, somatic, and culturally sensitive techniques, providing a personalized experience that honors your story and integrates the wisdom of mental health science. These approaches include EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Narrative Therapy.
