About
Valentina Pescuma
I am an Italian psychologist and psychotherapist in training, based in Berlin, Germany (she/her). I am registered at the Ordine degli Psicologi della Lombardia (Member no. 20833) in Italy and have completed a 4-year training in Milan to become a cognitive-constructivist psychotherapist.
As an expat in Germany, I can understand many of the struggles that fellow expats face. I obtained a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Here in Berlin, alongside my counseling practice, I work as a postdoctoral researcher in Psycholinguistics.
