Welcome—I'm glad you're here.

My name is Lucia Tecuta, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Bologna. I support individuals navigating life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, painful life events, and life transitions including adjusting to new environments and challenges or even facing world-related distress tied to global events and climate disruptions. Whether you're struggling with painful thoughts, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to deepen your sense of well-being and connection, my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies.

​

I draw from over 20 years of experience in both the U.S. and Italy, where I’ve worked in clinical, research, and university settings. My training in cognitive-behavioral therapies, psychotraumatology, and eco- and climate-conscious therapy allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs and values. I'm particularly passionate about helping people find resilience and meaning in times of change—be it personal, societal, or environmental.

​

Outside of therapy, I taught and conducted research at the University of Bologna, where I focused on topics like emotional well-being, negative thinking patterns, disordered eating, and more recently, the negative impacts of the ecological and climate crisis on mental health like eco-anxiety. I am also doing research on our psychological connection to nature. I continue to collaborate on research projects which keeps me connected to the latest knowledge, which I bring into the therapy space in a practical and human-centered way.

I provide support to international students and expats adjusting to life abroad—something I understand personally and professionally.

​

Wherever you are in your journey, I offer a space for reflection, healing, and growth. You're not alone, and I’m here to help.
