Η Γεωργία Σαλάκου είναι Ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό χώρο ψυχοθεραπείας, όπου παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους, μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές και εμπιστευτικό πλαίσιο, στο οποίο κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει και να διερευνήσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν

Εκπαιδεύεται στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία, μια προσέγγιση που αντλεί στοιχεία από διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις και επιτρέπει τη διαμόρφωση της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας με βάση τις ανάγκες και τη μοναδικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου. Στην κλινική της πρακτική δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στην κατανόηση των βαθύτερων συναισθηματικών και σχεσιακών μοτίβων, αλλά και στον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι προηγούμενες εμπειρίες επηρεάζουν το παρόν, τις σχέσεις και την εικόνα που διαμορφώνουμε για τον εαυτό μας.

Η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία περιλαμβάνει συνεργασίες με τον ΟΚΑΝΑ και τη Μέριμνα, καθώς και με το Κέντρο Ημέρας «Franco Basaglia» της Εταιρείας Περιφερειακής Ανάπτυξης και Ψυχικής Υγείας (Ε.Π.Α.Ψ.Υ.).

Έχει ολοκληρώσει μονοετή εκπαίδευση στο Ψυχικό Τραύμα και την Ψυχική Ανθεκτικότητα, καθώς και επιμορφώσεις στο Mindfulness και στη Σωματική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Πιστεύει στη σημασία της διαρκούς επιστημονικής εξέλιξης και συμμετέχει συστηματικά σε εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα, σεμινάρια και επιστημονικές δράσεις, με στόχο την παροχή σύγχρονων και τεκμηριωμένων υπηρεσιών ψυχικής υγείας.

Βασικός άξονας της θεραπευτικής της δουλειάς είναι η δημιουργία μιας σχέσης ασφάλειας, αποδοχής και εμπιστοσύνης. Στόχος της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας είναι ο άνθρωπος να μπορέσει να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον εαυτό του και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο σχετίζεται, να επεξεργαστεί τις δυσκολίες που τον απασχολούν και σταδιακά να αναπτύξει νέους τρόπους κατανόησης και αντιμετώπισής τους.
