Federico Seragnoli
Federico’s bio
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Of Italian origin, I came to Switzerland to pursue my studies in Psychology and become a therapist.
Writing a journal since my adolescence, I've always been interested in the phenomena of consciousness and self-awareness. My passion for metacognition and compassion guided me to dedicate my professional career in the field of Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP).
Today, I'm a psychotherapist in training (CBT - FSP) in Geneva, working at the psychedelic unit of the Geneva University Hospital (HUG). In my work, I focus on psychotherapy, supervising patients undergoing an exceptional medical use (also called “compassionte use”) treatment with psychedelics (Psilocybin, LSD) in a therapeutical setting. I also participate in research, helping for different lines of inquiry on psychedelic assisted psychotherapy in a public hospital setting.
I’m pursuing a PhD Thesis at the University of Lausanne within the Cognitive and Affective Regulation Laboratory which revolves around insight and metacognitive skills as factors involved in the integration process within PAP.
I co-founded PALA - Psychedelic Association of Lausanne for Awareness, a student association on psychedelics in Lausanne University, which has put the premises for the ideation and development of ALPS Foundation. My goal is to create platforms to empower a new generation of students and professionals in this field.
