Η Γκίκα Αθανασία είναι Ψυχολόγος με εξειδίκευση στην Κλινική Νευροψυχολογία και τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT), διατηρώντας ενεργή παρουσία στον τομέα της ψυχικής υγείας μέσω της κλινικής της εμπειρίας και της συνεχιζόμενης εκπαίδευσής της.

Η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι μια διαδικασία κατανόησης, αποδοχής και αλλαγής — μια ευκαιρία να γνωρίσουμε τον εαυτό μας και να ανακουφιστούμε από το βάρος που συχνά κουβαλάμε σιωπηλά.

Εργάζομαι με ανθρώπους που βιώνουν άγχος, καταθλιπτική διάθεση, δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις ή περιόδους εσωτερικής σύγχυσης, βοηθώντας τους να βρουν ξανά ισορροπία και νόημα στην καθημερινότητά τους.

Μαζί μπορούμε να δουλέψουμε πάνω σε μοτίβα σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς που σας κρατούν πίσω, να διαχειριστούμε το άγχος, να μειώσουμε τα συμπτώματα της κατάθλιψης και να ενισχύσουμε την αυτοεκτίμηση και την ψυχική ανθεκτικότητα.

Παρέχω ατομικές συνεδρίες ενηλίκων και εφήβων, τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και διαδικτυακά, με σεβασμό στον προσωπικό ρυθμό και τις ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου.

Στόχος μου είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς θεραπευτικού χώρου, όπου μπορείτε να εκφραστείτε ελεύθερα, να κατανοήσετε βαθύτερα τον εαυτό σας και να αρχίσετε σταδιακά να αλλάζετε ό,τι σας δυσκολεύει.

Η επιστημονική μου εκπαίδευση περιλαμβάνει Πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας και Μεταπτυχιακό στην Κλινική Νευροψυχολογία, καθώς και συνεχιζόμενη εκπαίδευση στην Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική θεραπεία και την Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία.

Έχω συνεργαστεί με σημαντικούς οργανισμούς, όπως ο “Ευαγγελισμός” και ο “Άκτιος Α.Ε.”, αποκτώντας εμπειρία τόσο σε θεραπευτικό όσο και ερευνητικό πλαίσιο.

Αν βρίσκεστε σε μια φάση που νιώθετε πίεση, άγχος ή απώλεια ενδιαφέροντος, ίσως αυτή να είναι η στιγμή να ξεκινήσετε τη δική σας ψυχοθεραπευτική διαδρομή.

Ο Κρέων Βασιληάς είναι Ψυχολόγος Ψυχαναλυτικής Προσέγγισης και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Κολωνάκι, πλησίον του Ευαγγελισμού. Είναι πτυχιούχος Ψυχολογίας του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστήμιου Αθηνών και κατέχει μεταπτυχιακό δίπλωμα στην Πολιτική Επιστήμη και Κοινωνιολογία από το ίδιο ίδρυμα. Συνδυάζει την ψυχαναλυτική θεωρία και την κλινική πρακτική με μια ευρύτερη κοινωνιολογική και φιλοσοφική θεώρηση του υποκειμένου και των σχέσεων που αυτό επιχειρεί να συνάψει. Η ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση που προτείνει επικεντρώνεται στη διερεύνηση της δυσφορίας, του τραύματος και της οδύνης μέσα από την κατανόηση των εσώτερων συγκρούσεων που τα υποκινούν ή τα υποστηρίζουν. Η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς ψυχοδυναμικού χώρου λόγου και σκέψης καθίσταται η συνθήκη δυνατότητας για να μπορέσει σταδιακά ο αναλυόμενος να αναλάβει πιο αποφασιστικά και με υπευθυνότητα την ίδια του την επιθυμία. Στον ενδιάμεσο τόπο, που διανοίγεται εκείθεν του ιατρικού βλέμματος, μεταξύ της ανάπτυξης της προσωπικότητας του θεραπευόμενου και της δημιουργίας ρωγμών στο νόημα, που συγκροτεί το σύμπτωμα ή τη συμπεριφορά του, τίθεται το αναλυτικό στοίχημα.

Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη διαφοροδιάγνωση των ψυχοπαθολογιών στο Ψυχιατρικό Νοσοκομείο Αττικής και έχει εργαστεί σε Κέντρα Ημέρας στο Δήμο της Αθήνας.

Έχει λάβει μέρος σε διεθνή συνέδρια, μεταξύ των οποίων το «Deleuze and Guattari: Refrains of Freedom», ενώ δίδαξε επίσης Δυτική Πολιτική Φιλοσοφία στην Ινδονησία, στο Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang.
