Health professionals for Depression near Kato Patisia

Η Μπουμπουρή Μυρτώ MSc, BSc, ECP είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με υπαρξιακό προσανατολισμό και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Αθήνα. Έχει ολοκληρώσει μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Οργανωσιακή Ψυχολογία και εργάζεται ως Ψυχολόγος στην Εταιρεία Περιφερειακής Ανάπτυξης και Ψυχικής Υγείας (ΕΠΑΨΥ), παράλληλα με την ιδιωτική της πρακτική.

Για την ίδια, η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι ένας χώρος όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να σταθεί με μεγαλύτερη ειλικρίνεια απέναντι σε όσα τον απασχολούν και να δει τον εαυτό του και τη ζωή του με έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο. Κάθε άνθρωπος φέρνει στη θεραπεία τη δική του ιστορία, τις σχέσεις, τις εμπειρίες και τα ερωτήματά του. Γι’ αυτό θεωρεί σημαντικό η θεραπευτική διαδικασία να διαμορφώνεται ξεχωριστά για τον καθένα.

Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική συνεργασία μπορούν να διερευνηθούν δυσκολίες που αφορούν το άγχος, τις σχέσεις, την αυτοεκτίμηση, σημαντικές αλλαγές ή μεταβάσεις, αλλά και περιόδους όπου κάποιος αισθάνεται ότι έχει χάσει τον προσανατολισμό του ή δυσκολεύεται να καταλάβει τι πραγματικά χρειάζεται.

Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργείται μια σχέση εμπιστοσύνης και ένας χώρος όπου ο καθένας μπορεί να είναι ο εαυτός του, χωρίς την ανάγκη να έχει έτοιμες απαντήσεις.
