Therapsy

Therapsy is an Italian multilingual psychotherapy service designed for adults, students, and expats. Founded in 2023 by digital entrepreneur Lorenzo Ferrari and psychotherapist Francesca A. Boccalari, the service was created to address the difficulty many international residents in Italy face in finding a therapist who speaks their first language and understands their cultural context. Therapsy offers both online and in-person sessions, with physical locations across 23 Italian cities and online availability worldwide. Its therapists speak 14 languages, including English, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek, Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Hebrew, and Hindi. The service emphasizes personalized matching: rather than using algorithms, the Clinical Director, Dr. Francesca Adriana Boccalari, hand-picks the therapist best suited to each client's needs, preferences, and language. A free first assessment call is offered, with no credit card required, and pricing starts from €70 per session. Therapsy also provides psychiatric services and couples counseling. It positions itself as combining the convenience of online platforms with the depth of traditional therapy, serving expats, international students, and professionals. The service has a 4.8/5 rating on Trustpilot and reports a reply time of under 12 hours. While based in Italy, Therapsy supports clients in major cities worldwide, including London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Amsterdam, Dublin, Lisbon, Vienna, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and Buenos Aires, scheduling sessions to fit local time zones.

Therapsy was founded in 2023 by Lorenzo Ferrari, a digital entrepreneur, and Francesca A. Boccalari, an experienced psychotherapist, who are partners in both life and work. The idea emerged from their shared recognition that many people living in Italy struggled to find psychological support in their own language. As Boccalari explained, she kept meeting people in Italy who had given up on therapy not because they didn't need it, but because they couldn't find a therapist who would understand them in their first language and in their context. Therapsy was created to fill that gap, offering multilingual psychotherapy that combines the accessibility of online platforms with the depth of traditional in-person practice. The service began with a focus on expats, international students, and young adults, and grew step by step by listening to patients' voices and stories. By 2025, Therapsy had expanded to offer therapy in 14 languages, with a network of over 50 licensed therapists registered with their Italian professional bodies, and physical locations in 23 Italian cities. It also extended its online services worldwide, supporting clients in major global cities. The platform emphasizes personalized matching by the Clinical Director rather than algorithmic assignment, and offers a free first assessment call. Therapsy continues to operate as a private service based in Italy.
