CSF - Centro Studi Famiglia

What CSF - Centro Studi Famiglia does

CSF - Centro Studi Famiglia (CSF Psicologia) is a Milan-based psychology and psychotherapy center operating as a private nonprofit association (Associazione per Lo Studio della Famiglia) since 2014. The organization operates two integrated business pillars: clinical psychological services for individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and children (spanning psychotherapy, coaching, trauma treatment, parental coordination, family mediation, and learning disorder evaluation); and professional training programs including ECM-accredited master programs and single courses in family psychology, parental coordination, family law, coaching, mindfulness, and related specialties. Services are delivered both in-person at the Milan headquarters (Via Arena 5) and online, with a Moodle-based e-learning platform supporting 24/7 training access.

The clinical and training portfolios are complemented by community projects — SiCura-Mente (adolescent early intervention network), MiGioco (psychological and educational support for vulnerable minors and families, launched November 2022 in partnership with Opera San Francesco and funded by Banca/Fondazione Mediolanum), and school-based interventions funded by Fondazione Cariplo. A corporate training vertical (FormaZione Aziendale, Coaching Aziendale) targets B2B clients on stress management, burnout prevention, and leadership development. CSF also runs internship programs for psychology students across developmental, clinical, forensic, and organizational specializations.

CSF's revenue model is multi-stream: fee-for-service clinical sessions, paid training courses (€146–€2,909 with installment payment options), supervision packages (€220+VAT for 5-session packages), corporate professional services contracts, and grant-funded community projects. Distribution is direct via website booking, online platforms, and institutional partnerships. Technology stack is minimal — a Moodle e-learning platform and standard scheduling tools — with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. CSF reports training 500+ professionals annually, maintains media coverage in major Italian outlets (la Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore, Vanity Fair), and operates a partnership network spanning 40+ universities, municipalities, foundations, hospitals, and social cooperatives. Leadership comprises Chiara Lupo (President) and Carlo Trionfi (Scientific Director).

• Unobravo: Italian online psychology platform offering video therapy sessions with a large network of psychologists. Comparable to CSF as it competes for the same Italian individual therapy market but with a digital-first, lower-friction delivery model.
• Serenis: Italian online mental health platform providing therapy and psychiatric consultations via subscription. Comparable to CSF's individual therapy segment but with a technology-enabled, consumer-brand-driven model targeting the same end user.
• TherapyChat: Italian online therapy platform offering chat and video sessions with licensed psychologists. Comparable to CSF as a digital substitute for individual psychotherapy sessions, particularly targeting younger Italian consumers seeking accessible mental health support.

Direct peers
