About the specialist

Roxani - Maria Vakalou is a Psychologist, graduate of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, specializing in Clinical Psychology. She is a certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist and is training in Bioenergetic Clinical Hypnosis.

Her choice of specializations is based on the integration of two critical pillars: focusing on the "here and now," addressing dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behavior, and processing emotional traumas formed during early developmental stages before the development of logical thinking.

Her career in the Mental Health field includes voluntary service at S.O.F.PSY. Serres, coordinating therapeutic groups and cognitive-behavioral interventions; collaboration with the Hellenic Alzheimer’s Disease Association; specialization in "Dance Theatre"; and mental health counseling in a multinational environment through conducting psychoeducational groups and individual sessions (since 2024).

She firmly believes that Psychotherapy is the most valuable investment in oneself and the cornerstone of self-awareness and mental well-being. Her goal is, within an environment of trust, understanding, and acceptance, to help individuals genuinely "embrace" themselves.

About the specialist

Η Αφροδίτη Κεσόγλου είναι ψυχολόγος με εκπαίδευση στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Αθήνας, όπου παρέχει συμβουλευτική και ψυχοθεραπεία σε ενήλικες, εφήβους και ζευγάρια.

Παράλληλα εργάζεται ως ψυχολόγος στο Κέντρο Διοτίμα υποστηρίζοντας γυναίκες και θηλυκότητες που έχουν βιώσει έμφυλη και ενδοοικογενειακή βία. Η εργασία της επικεντρώνεται στη στήριξη και ενδυνάμωση ανθρώπων που έχουν επιβιώσει από επιβαρυντικές συνθήκες, καθώς και στην επεξεργασία των συναισθηματικών, ψυχολογικών και σωματικών επιπτώσεων. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό έχει εκπαιδευτεί στην αναγνώριση, υποστήριξη και διαχείριση περιστατικών σεξουαλικής βίας από το Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

Στο παρελθόν, έχει εργαστεί σε διαφορετικά κοινοτικά και πολυπολιτισμικά πλαίσια, όπως Κέντρα Υποδοχής και Ταυτοποίησης και δομές φιλοξενίας, ως μέλος διεπιστημονικών ομάδων, παρέχοντας ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε παιδιά, εφήβους, γονείς και ενήλικες. Η επαγγελματική της πορεία περιλαμβάνει επίσης την εργασία με ανθρώπους που βρίσκονται σε συνθήκες ευαλωτότητας και κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού, ενώ έχει εκπαιδευτεί στην παιδική προστασία και ασφάλεια. Οι εμπειρίες αυτές μαζί με τις μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Ολλλανδία έχουν ενισχύσει την πεποίθησή της, ότι η ψυχική υγεία χρειάζεται να προσεγγίζεται όχι μόνο σε ατομικό επίπεδο, αλλά και σε συνάρτηση με το κοινωνικό, οικογενειακό και περιβαλλοντικό πλαίσιο κάθε ανθρώπου.

Το 2023 ξεκίνησε την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία, μια προσέγγιση που αξιοποιεί στοιχεία και τεχνικές από διαφορετικά ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα, επιτρέποντας τη διαμόρφωση μιας θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας που προσαρμόζεται στις εξατομικευμένες ανάγκες, την προσωπικότητα και το αίτημα κάθε ανθρώπου.

Συνεχίζει να εκπαιδεύεται και να ενημερώνεται διαρκώς σε θέματα  ψυχικής υγείας και ψυχοθεραπείας, με στόχο να παρέχει μια σύγχρονη, ασφαλή και δεοντολογικά υπεύθυνη θεραπευτική προσέγγιση, προσαρμοσμένη στις ανάγκες κάθε ανθρώπου.

Η Χουρδάκη Μαρίζα είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ειδ. Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με Πτυχίο (Bachelor) του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Τριέρ στη Γερμανία και Πτυχίο (Bachelor) με κατεύθυνση ψυχολογίας, του Τμήματος Φιλοσοφίας- Παιδαγωγικού και Ψυχολογίας, του Εθνικού Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών (ΕΚΠΑ). Κατέχει Μεταπτυχιακό Τίτλο Σπουδών (MS.c) στην «Κλινική Ψυχολογία» του Τμήματος Κοινωνικών Επιστημών και Συμπεριφοράς, του Πανεπιστημίου Erasmus, στο Ρότερνταμ της Ολλανδίας. Επιπλέον ειδικεύεται στη Συστημική - Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Εκπαίδευσης και Έρευνας - Λόγω Ψυχής, σύμφωνα με το μοντέλο SANE (System Attachment Narrative Encephalon). Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο είναι ένα εμπλουτισμένο μοντέλο συστημικής ψυχοθεραπείας που ενσωματώνει στη θεραπευτική πρακτική στοιχεία από τη θεωρία του συναισθηματικού δεσμού, την αφηγηματική προσέγγιση και τα ευρήματα των νευροεπιστημών.

Απέκτησε πρακτική εμπειρία σε Κέντρα Ψυχικής Υγείας του Δήμου Πειραιά και Καισαριανής - Βύρωνα, όπου δούλεψε τόσο με εφήβους και οικογένειες όσο και με ενήλικες που βίωναν άγχος, κατάθλιψη, μειωμένη αυτοεκτίμηση, δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, δυσκολίες σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού και ταυτότητας.

Παράλληλα εργάστηκε ως ψυχολόγος στο Κέντρο Ημέρας Υποστήριξης Εργαζομένων Αθηνών, στο οποίο παρείχε ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε εργαζομένους για ζητήματα όπως : το εργασιακό στρες, επαγγελματική εξουθένωση, κατάθλιψη, ενδυνάμωση και αυτογνωσία.

Έχει παρακολουθήσει πλήθος σεμιναρίων εστιασμένα στην ψυχοπαθολογία, στη συμβουλευτική και την ψυχοθεραπεία με ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ άτομα και στην ψυχική υγεία ευρύτερα. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο που διατηρεί στον Πειραιά (Ηρωών Πολυτεχνείου 58), εργάζεται με ενήλικες, ζευγάρια, εφήβους και οικογένειες.

Πιστεύει ότι η αναζήτηση βοήθειας και ο δρόμος προς την αλλαγή είναι διαδικασίες με δυσκολίες και προκλήσεις, που αποτελούν όμως ένα πρώτο σπουδαίο βήμα προς ένα λυτρωτικό ταξίδι. Ο φόβος είναι ένα εύλογο συναίσθημα στην αρχή της θεραπείας, αλλά με τον κατάλληλο θεραπευτή, μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο, μπορούν να φωτιστούν όλα τα σκοτεινά σημεία, να κατανοηθούν άγνωστες πλευρές του εαυτού μας και να δοκιμαστούν νέοι τρόποι σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

What it is

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Helps the individual to change dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors. Improves your functioning and quality of life by helping to change patterns and behaviours. Teaches you to be your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment.
