Dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD,
personality disorders, or other psychologcal issues?

 

 

Are you looking for a therapist who speaks your language?

 

Looking for an American psychologist who understands
firsthand the challenges of the military?

Welcome to Restore Psychological Services

 

Our mission here in the Vicenza area is to offer psychological support to English speaking clients and Americans associated with the US armed forces.

Receiving services in English in Italy can be quite the obstacle. When for example ordering your food at a restaurant, differences in language can easily be overcome, but in therapy the need for feeling fully understood is paramount and a language barrier can prevent progress.

Restore Psychological Services was founded by Dr. Søs Gaddis. As a former member of the U.S. military and a military spouse, she has a thorough understanding of military life. Her practice applies a whole person perspective in treatment with the goal of her clients gaining an overall better quality of life.

Depression
Whether you have lived with depression your whole life or these feelings are new to you they can seem ovewhelming and like there is no way out. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has been proven to be highly effective in the treatment of depression.
Anxiety
Anxiety can present itself in many ways such as generalized, obsessions and compulsions, panic, post-traumatic stress, social phobia or social anxiety. Therapy can provide you with coping mechanisms and tools to combat or end your anxiety giving you a better quality of life.
Mindfulness
Research in support of the usefulness of mindfulness continues to emerge. The major benefits include decreased stress and psychological distress, increased emotional regulation, improved immune system, and decreased levels or less depressive symptoms and anxiety.
About Me
I am a dual citizen of the United States and Denmark.  I am a former member of the U.S. military and a military spouse.  I received my Masters Degree in Psychology from California Coast University and my Doctorate in Psychology from Walden University.  I am licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in the state of Virginia and am currently working in Italy as a counselor.

My husband and I have served the Vicenza military community for over four years.  I have a vast understanding of the U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) and 173rd Airborne Brigade missions and particularly the challenges those missions present for the Army and Air Force dependents attached to Caserma Ederle, Del Din, and Longare (as well as Aviano, Poggio Renatico, Livorno, and Ghedi).  I also have experience working with Veterans Affairs (VA) both as a psychological evaluator and as a Veteran.
