Health professionals with experience in Depression in Attica

Rapanaki Elena is a Psychologist - Systemic Psychotherapist and maintains a private practice in Nea Ionia.

She studied in the Department of Psychology at Panteion University and trained in the Synthetic Model of Systemic Psychotherapy at the Laboratory for the Investigation of Human Relations. Regarding this approach, individual psychological problems are perceived as symptoms of dysfunction within a broader system (such as the family), and therefore it is believed that change will occur by intervening in the functioning of this broader system. Within this approach, concepts and perspectives from other psychotherapeutic schools are adopted, enriching the repertoire of techniques and adapting them according to the needs of each client. Having started her professional career, she has worked with adolescents and adults in an intervention unit for young people with delinquent behavior "Oseletos," on an online platform providing mental health services, as well as privately. In the past, she has voluntarily participated in a program at the "YWCA Greece" prisons with female detainees and in voluntary actions at "EPANODO" for the social reintegration of released prisoners. Finally, she has attended conferences and seminars related to mental health awareness, clinical psychopathology, domestic violence, delinquency, interpersonal relationships, and family relations.

Maria Kyvrikoseou is a Psychologist. She graduated from the Department of Psychology at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences and is continuing her studies at the Center for Systemic Education and Counseling "Allilepidrasis." She primarily works online, but face-to-face sessions are also available upon arrangement. Her philosophy of systemic psychotherapy is summarized by Virginia Satir's quote: "A person is born in relation, lives in relation, and is healed in relation." Therefore, the "problem" is examined and understood through the way the individual interacts with the people around them, rather than considering the individual as an isolated unit apart from the social context. Additionally, she has attended seminars related to Special Education at the University of Piraeus and School Psychology at Panteion University. She is committed to creating a safe, warm, and human space where everyone can express themselves freely, listen to their inner self, and discover new ways to relate both to others and to themselves. If you feel you are going through a period of change, reflection, or simply want to better understand yourself and your relationships, Ms. Kyvrikoseou will be happy to meet you.
