Our psychology and psychotherapy services – Neuropédiatrie Genève
At Neuropédiatrie Genève, we offer specialized psychological support, closely focused on neurodevelopmental disorders and the emotional needs of children and adolescents.
Our psychology service is designed for children, adolescents, and their families facing emotional, cognitive, behavioral, or academic challenges. Support is provided by a recognized psychologist-psychotherapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and neurodevelopmental assessments.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
A structured and individualized therapeutic approach, focused on specific goals. CBT helps children and adolescents better understand their thoughts and behaviors, improve emotional regulation, and develop strategies to manage stress, school-related challenges, and social difficulties. Common indications include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Behavioral difficulties
- Other emotional challenges linked to a neurodevelopmental profile
Neurodevelopmental assessments
We offer comprehensive evaluations to identify or confirm:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADHD)
- Specific learning disorders
- Unique cognitive profiles
Parental guidance and family support
We offer a supportive space for families to better understand their child’s difficulties and to adapt their educational and emotional environment accordingly.
Our approach
We believe in a strengths-based approach tailored to each child. Relying on the latest research in developmental psychology and neuroscience, we offer personalized follow-up adapted to the child’s individual path.
Our goal: to promote emotional growth, strengthen resilience, and restore confidence.

Do I need a prescription or referral to start therapy?
No, a prescription or referral is not required to book an initial consultation or therapy session. However, some insurance providers may request a referral for reimbursement, so it’s a good idea to check with your insurance beforehand. If you want to be reimbursed by LMal, you need a prescription from your paediatrician predating your first appointment in order to be reimbursed.
How do I know if my child needs an assessment or therapy?
If your child is struggling with emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, social difficulties, or academic concerns, an initial consultation can help determine if an assessment or therapy is appropriate. I can guide you in understanding your child’s unique needs.
Do you offer support for families as well?
Yes, I provide guidance and support for families navigating neurodevelopmental diagnoses, emotional challenges, or behavioural concerns. This can include counselling, education, and practical strategies for home and school.
