About me - Silvia DaRe

Silvia DaRe

My educational and professional background

Throughout my many years of experience, primarily in the United States, I initially focused on research, and later transitioned to clinical practice.

My extensive and diverse experience includes work with Child Protective Services and participation in Task Forces against domestic violence. I have also served as a school psychologist, working with adolescents suffering from severe emotional disorders and various forms of neurodiversity, as well as a therapist at a Mental Health Center.

At the same time, I continued my clinical practice, working with individuals, couples, and families. My clinical work has always focused on providing personalized and in-depth support.

1.
My educational journey began with studies in Clinical Psychology in Padua, followed by a specialization in Systemic Family Therapy in Treviso.

2.
I then furthered my training by focusing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, completing courses in Boston, Vancouver, and New York.

3.
In recent years, I have continued my professional development in the United States, completing training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an effective therapeutic approach for treating trauma such as PTSD and CPTSD (Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder, both Simple and Complex).

4.
I later pursued training in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), a method taught and practiced worldwide for over forty years.

My rich and diverse professional and educational background equips me with the tools necessary to provide effective and compassionate therapeutic support to couples, individuals, and families. I integrate advanced theoretical knowledge with a deep understanding of my clients' needs.

These abilities are invaluable when working with couples and families facing relational crises or conflict situations.

Empathy and Understanding:

Through my experience working with a wide range of individuals, including people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, age groups, and sexual orientations, I have developed deep empathy and understanding of the challenges people may face.

This ability allows me to build strong rapport with my clients and to understand their unique perspectives.

Multicultural Competence:

My experience working with culturally diverse communities and addressing issues such as social oppression and microaggressions has equipped me with essential multicultural competencies.

This is crucial for providing effective and sensitive support to clients from various cultural backgrounds.

Crisis Management and Emotional Support:

My work with Child Protective Services and in task forces against domestic violence has equipped me with skills in handling sensitive situations and providing support to individuals in vulnerable circumstances.

Systemic Approach:

My specialization in Systemic Family Therapy has provided me with a strong theoretical and practical foundation for understanding complex relational systems within couples and families.

This approach allows me to consider the interactions between family members and to identify dysfunctional relational patterns.

Advanced Therapeutic Techniques:

My specializations in therapies such as EFT, EMDR, and IFS add an additional layer of expertise to my clinical practice.

These advanced therapeutic techniques can be used to address a wide range of emotional and psychological issues, including trauma, mood disorders, and relationship challenges.
