A Dedicated Approach
to Your Growth and Serenity
When life presents moments of crisis, stress, or psychological discomfort, it is essential to have a professional who can listen and guide you. I offer specialized psychological support in Florence, helping adults and couples overcome difficulties and regain emotional balance.
In my psychotherapy practice in Florence, I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where every patient can explore their emotions and tackle life’s challenges with new resources and tools. My goal is to help you enhance your self-awareness and build more fulfilling relationships.
About Me
I am Dr. Davide Garau, a psychologist and psychotherapist specializing in family therapy following the systemic-relational model.
After earning a degree in Clinical and Community Psychology at the University of Florence and completing a Master’s in Criminology at the University of Siena, I gained experience working with adolescents and minors in difficulty.
Since 2008, I have been a member of the Tuscany Order of Psychologists and completed a four-year specialization in Family and Relational Therapy at the Institute of Family Therapy in Florence.
Areas of Expertise
As a psychotherapist, my aim is to help individuals improve their ability to recognize and listen to their emotions and feelings, enabling them to achieve a more satisfying relationship with themselves and their families.
I provide psychotherapeutic support for a wide range of issues, including:
Depression
Persistent sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, and a sense of helplessness characterize depression, deeply affecting quality of life and relationships.
Through psychotherapy, I help explore the roots of depression, develop new coping strategies, and restore hope and well-being.
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety often manifests as an emotional response to perceived threats, accompanied by excessive worry and physical symptoms like palpitations.
Acute anxiety episodes, such as panic attacks, can be debilitating. Psychotherapy provides tools to manage anxiety, identify triggers, and regain emotional control.
Psychological Addictions
Compulsive behaviors toward substances, people, or activities that lead to loss of control characterize psychological addictions.
Therapy addresses the root causes of addiction, fostering autonomy and well-being.
Eating Disorders
Disorders like anorexia and bulimia stem from dysfunctional relationships with food and the body, influenced by emotional and self-esteem issues.
<pPsychotherapy helps recognize and change harmful eating behaviors, promoting a healthier relationship with food and self-image.
Grief Processing
Grief is the emotional response to the loss of a loved one or a significant life change. This process can be profoundly painful and challenging to face alone.
Through therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space to process pain, understand your emotions, and facilitate the healing journey.
The Importance of Psychotherapy
As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help people enhance their ability to recognize and listen to their emotions and feelings so they can achieve a more fulfilling relationship with themselves and others.
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a personalized process designed to explore the causes of emotional discomfort and promote greater awareness and well-being.
Therapy is not only for dealing with stressful situations but can also be an opportunity for self-discovery and life improvement.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can face obstacles at various stages. Couples therapy helps partners navigate crises, improve communication, and restore harmony.
The goal is a fulfilling and serene partnership, with a focus on conflict resolution and relationships involving children.

Via Giovan Filippo Mariti 8,

How does psychotherapy work?
Psychotherapy sessions
provide a safe and private space to freely explore thoughts and emotions. Each session lasts an hour, during which I am fully dedicated to listening and supporting the patient. For couples therapy, it is essential that both partners attend every session, as their interaction is central to the therapeutic work
Therapy
typically involves weekly sessions, preferably on the same day and at the same time, ensuring continuity and stability in the growth and reflection process. After each session, I issue an invoice that can be claimed as a healthcare expense, offering tax benefits according to the law.
Psychotherapy
is a personal journey toward greater awareness and well-being, and my role is to accompany you on this path with professionalism and respect, tailoring the therapeutic process to your specific needs.
