ARP - STUDIO ASSOCIATO DI PSICOLOGIA CLINICA

What ARP - STUDIO ASSOCIATO DI PSICOLOGIA CLINICA does

ARP - Studio Associato di Psicologia Clinica is an Italian multidisciplinary clinical psychology practice founded in 1992 and headquartered at Piazza Sant'Ambrogio 16, Milan. It operates as a Studio Associato (professional partnership) with 86 staff including psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, speech therapists, and rehabilitation specialists, organized across 12 specialized clinical service lines spanning child and adolescent psychology, trauma (including psychotraumatology and dissociative disorders), eating disorders, learning disorders (DSA), neuropsychology, perinatal mental health, gender identity, and gifted-cognition support. The practice is authorized to issue certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (DSA) and accepts payments via the Fondo di Assistenza Sanitario Integrativo, broadening payer accessibility.

The business combines three revenue lines: (i) fee-for-service clinical consultations priced at €70 per 45-minute session; (ii) structured professional education including the Master in Psychotraumatology (VI edition), Master in Psicodiagnostica (XI edition), and the Learning Tutor Course and L'Apprendista Tutor MasterClass, priced €2,000-€2,400 per participant with cohort caps of 35; and (iii) shorter training courses priced €450-€500. Operations are anchored by founding partners Margherita Lang, Sabba Orefice, and Alessandro Vassalli, with Alessandro Vassalli receiving the Premio Chiara Callerame 2024 in recognition of his clinical contribution.

The practice is privately held with no external funding events, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue. Distribution is concentrated at a single Milan site, partially extended via online/distance consultations (formalized through a website relaunch in November 2023). ARP maintains an institutional partnership ecosystem including CISMAI, CIPM, FoodNet, Fondazione Soleterre, and A.R.P. Association ETS, which supports referral flow and program co-delivery. The business is talent-bound and site-bound, with growth driven by partner-led clinical capacity rather than technology leverage.
