Dimitris Aggelopoulos is a psychotherapist and educator specializing in Group Analysis. In his private practice, located in the center of Athens, he provides individual and group psychotherapy to individuals facing challenges in their personal lives, relationships, or mental health. His goal is not only the relief of symptoms, but also the emergence of each unique individual and the discovery of new ways of behavior and perception, focusing on healthy relationships and a sense of fulfillment.

He firmly believes that psychological difficulties are not solely individual problems, but mirrors of society, the relationships, and the groups within which we live and interact. Through Group Analysis, he utilizes the function of the group to facilitate the revealing of hidden aspects of the self, offering honest feedback and creating a space where individuals can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment. The group operates as a microcosm of relationships – a dynamic reality in which changes do not remain theoretical, but significantly impact the members’ broader lives.

Dimitris Aggelopoulos fosters an environment of safety and trust, where each person has the opportunity to face their challenges and cultivate the distinctive characteristics of their personality. Psychotherapy is not a luxury, but a vital investment in the relationship with ourselves and others.

.Η Αθανασιάδου Τραϊάνα είναι Ψυχολόγος με προσέγγιση γνωσιακης Συμπεριφορικης κατεύθυνσης. Εχει εξειδίκευση στην Σεξουαλικη Υγεία, τις ψυχοσεξουαλικες διαταραχές και την ταυτότητα Φύλου. Ακολουθεί μια συνθετική προσέγγιση καθώς πιστεύει πως ο καθε άνθρωπος είναι ξεχωριστός και για να αναπτυχθεί ο Αληθής εαυτός του χρειάζεται να φωτιστει η ιδιαιτεροτητα του

Το άγχος, ο φόβος, η θλίψη είναι συναισθήματα που μοιραζόμαστε όλοι, ωστόσο για τον καθένα το κάθε συναίσθημα ξυπνα ένα προσωπικό 'αφήγημα"ζωης.

Πιστεύει πως στην καρδιά της θεραπείας βρίσκεται ένας χώρος ζωντανός, ευέλικτος, όπου το αληθινό συναντά το δυνατό. Εκεί, μέσα σε μια σχέση που κρατά αλλά δεν εγκλωβίζει, ο εαυτός δεν χρειάζεται πια να κρύβεται—γεννιέται ξανά, ελεύθερος. 

Πιστεύει πως συχνά κάνεις γίνεται το τραύμα του και η θεραπεία επέρχεται με το να καταφέρει να δει τον εαυτό του ως ένα όλον που έχει και τραύματα ωστόσο μπορεί να τα φροντίσει και κα τα αγκαλιάσει.

Την περίοδο της covid 19 συμμετείχε ενεργά και στελέχωνε την Γραμμή Ψυχοκοινωνικης Υποστήριξης για την πανδημια ενώ συμμετείχε σε πολλές δράσεις προαγωγής Ψυχικής Υγείας. Σπούδασε στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας Παντειου και έπειτα πασακολουθησε πρόγραμμα ΜΠΣ στην Ιατρική Σχολή Αθηνών. Είναι μέλος της Ελληνικής Εταιρίας Γνωσιακης Συμπεριφορικης Θεραπείας 

Έχει μετεκπαιδευτει στην ψυχοπαθολογια και στην Αναλυτική προσέγγιση Ομαδικής θεραπείας.

Πιστεύει πως η ομάδα μπορεί να αποτελέσει ένα ασφαλές πεδίο γέννησης του εαυτού μέσα από αλληλεπιδρασεις ανθρώπων που εντέλει δημιουργούν ένα όλον αποτελούμενο από πολλά "ολόκληρα" που συνθέτουν έναν χώρο θεραπείας και προαγωγής των σχέσεων με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους.
