Έπειτα από 20 χρόνια εμπειρίας στο χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας, έμαθε πως αυτό που χρειάζεται κάθε άνθρωπος είναι να τον κοιτάζεις στα μάτια και να νιώθεις τη βαθύτερη ανάγκη του. Για το λόγο αυτό δημιούργησε και το ΚΕ.ΘΕ.ΣΥ. Αυτήν την ανάγκη έχει στόχο να καλύψει εκείνη και οι συνεργάτες της, αγκαλιάζοντας τον άνθρωπο με αγάπη και κατανόηση και κοιτάζοντας το πρόβλημά του σα να είναι δικό τους. Βασικά εργαλεία σε αυτή την προσπάθεια αποτελούν η Ανασυνδυασμένη Εκλεκτική Συμβουλευτική, αλλά και η μέθοδος "Όταν συνάντησα Εμένα!", μέσω της οποίας μπορεί κάποιος να δουλέψει και να λύσει θέματα αυτοπεποίθησης.

Η Δημιουργός του Κέντρου, Ανδριάννα Γεροντή, δεν έπαψε στιγμή όλα αυτά τα χρόνια να ενδιαφέρεται για την ορθότερη λειτουργία του Κέντρου και την καλύτερη δυνατή προσφορά στους ανθρώπους. Σαν αποτέλεσμα όλης αυτής της προσπάθειας, ένας αρκετά μεγάλος αριθμός παιδιών και ενηλίκων, έχουν μάθει να αξιοποιούν τις δυνατότητές τους, ενισχύοντας την αυτοπεποίθησή τους και αντιμετωπίζοντας επιτυχώς τις δυσκολίες της καθημερινότητας τους. Το Κέντρο στελεχώνεται από μια έμπειρη ομάδα ειδικών: Ψυχολόγων, Παιδοψυχολόγων, Λογοπαιδικών, Εργοθεραπευτών, Διατροφολόγων οι οποίοι επιλέχθηκαν με κριτήρια όχι μόνο βάση της εμπειρίας και των ικανοτήτων τους, αλλά και ανθρωπιάς, αγάπης και ευαισθητοποίησης προς τον συνάνθρωπο.
