About the specialist

Η Γεωργία Σαλάκου είναι Ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό χώρο, όπου παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους.

Εκπαιδεύεται στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία στα Σύγχρονα Αμφιαράεια σε συνεργασία με το Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης. Παράλληλα, έχει ολοκληρώσει μονοετή εκπαίδευση στο Ψυχικό Τραύμα και την Ψυχική Ανθεκτικότητα, καθώς και επιμορφώσεις στο Mindfulness και στη Σωματική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Η συνεχής επιστημονική κατάρτιση και η κλινική εποπτεία αποτελούν σταθερά στοιχεία της επαγγελματικής της εξέλιξης.

Η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία περιλαμβάνει συνεργασίες με τον ΟΚΑΝΑ και τη Μέριμνα, καθώς και με το Κέντρο Ημέρας «Franco Basaglia» της Εταιρείας Περιφερειακής Ανάπτυξης και Ψυχικής Υγείας (Ε.Π.Α.Ψ.Υ.). Παράλληλα, έχει εργαστεί σε σχολικό πλαίσιο, αποκτώντας εμπειρία στην ψυχολογική υποστήριξη παιδιών και εφήβων. Η εμπειρία της περιλαμβάνει ακόμη τη συμβουλευτική γονέων, την ψυχολογική αξιολόγηση και την υποστήριξη παιδιών με διαφορετικές αναπτυξιακές και συναισθηματικές ανάγκες. Έχει επίσης συνεργαστεί με ψυχαναλυτικό γραφείο, συμμετέχοντας σε κλινική πρακτική και εποπτεία.

Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της Συνθετικής Ψυχοθεραπείας, η οποία αντλεί στοιχεία από διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις και επιτρέπει τη διαμόρφωση της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας με βάση τις ανάγκες, την προσωπικότητα και τη μοναδική ιστορία κάθε ανθρώπου. Δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στην κατανόηση όχι μόνο των δυσκολιών που εμφανίζονται στο παρόν, αλλά και των βαθύτερων συναισθηματικών και σχεσιακών μοτίβων που μπορεί να επαναλαμβάνονται στη ζωή του ατόμου. Η διερεύνηση προηγούμενων εμπειριών και σημαντικών σχέσεων μπορεί να συμβάλει στην κατανόηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο σχετιζόμαστε σήμερα με τους άλλους και με τον εαυτό μας.

Κεντρική θέση στη θεραπευτική της δουλειά έχει η σχέση που διαμορφώνεται ανάμεσα στον θεραπευόμενο και τον θεραπευτή. Μέσα σε ένα πλαίσιο ασφάλειας, αποδοχής και εμπιστοσύνης, ο θεραπευόμενος έχει τον χώρο να εκφράσει και να διερευνήσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, ακόμη και όταν αυτά δεν είναι εύκολο να κατανοηθούν ή να αποτυπωθούν σε λέξεις.

Στόχος της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας είναι η βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού, των αναγκών και των τρόπων με τους οποίους το άτομο σχετίζεται και αντιμετωπίζει τις εμπειρίες της ζωής του. Μέσα από αυτή τη διαδικασία μπορεί σταδιακά να επεξεργαστεί τις δυσκολίες που το απασχολούν και να αναπτύξει νέους, περισσότερο λειτουργικούς τρόπους κατανόησης και διαχείρισής τους.

Ο Χώρος Ψυχικής Υγείας MindΒloom γεννήθηκε από το όραμα της κλινικής ψυχολόγου και ψυχοθεραπεύτριας Φωτεινής Καναλουπίτη για την δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς χώρου, ο οποίος να διακρίνεται από τις αξίες της συμπεριληπτικότητας, της συνεργατικότητας, της απο-παθολογικοποίησης, της άνευ όρων αποδοχής, της ειλικρινούς ενσυναίσθησης και του σεβασμού στη διαφορετικότητα. Σήμερα η ομάδα του χώρου MindBloom απαρτίζεται από τέσσερις επαγγελματίες ψυχικής υγείας, τη Φωτεινή Καναλουπίτη, τη Δανάη Γιαννακοπούλου, τη Δήμητρα Ζαφειροπούλου και τη Μαρίνα Μιχαλάτου, που τις ενώνει η κοινή αξία για την παροχή εξειδικευμένων επιστημονικών υπηρεσιών χωρίς διακρίσεις, σε ένα πλαίσιο που η θεραπεία και η κοινωνική δικαιοσύνη είναι αλληλένδετες. Τα μέλη της ομάδας του Mindbloom είναι ξεχωριστά διαπιστευμένες σε τέσσερις διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις: Θεραπεία Σχημάτων, Προσωποκεντρική προσέγγιση, Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφοριστική Θεραπεία και Αφηγηματική Θεραπεία. Αυτό, σε συνδυασμό με την ποικιλία στην εκπαιδευτική εξειδίκευση και την εργασιακή εμπειρία του κάθε μέλους της ομάδας, επιτρέπει την κάλυψη εύρους θεραπευτικών αιτημάτων (δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, διαχείριση ψυχιατρικών διαγνώσεων και συμπτωμάτων, παροχή υποστήριξης στην εξάρτηση και διασύνδεση με σχετικούς φορείς, υποστήριξη στην εξερεύνηση της ταυτότητας φύλου και της σεξουαλικότητας, υποστήριξη γονεϊκού ρόλου, κ.α.). Η διαδικασία για την έναρξη συνεδριών στον χώρο MindBloom βασίζεται στην λήψη βασικών πληροφοριών για το ενδιαφερόμενο άτομο και το θεραπευτικό του αίτημα ώστε να του προταθεί η επαγγελματίας που κρίνεται πιο κατάλληλη και έμπειρη για την υποστήριξή του με βάση τις εξατομικευμένες ανάγκες του.

Λίγα λόγια για τη συντονίστρια της ομάδας του MindBloom:

Η Φωτεινή Καναλουπίτη είναι Kλινική Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια MSC. Σπούδασε και εργάστηκε στην Ολλανδία (BA,University of Groningen- MSC Clinical Psychology, University of Leiden) ενώ εκπαιδεύτηκε στην Θεραπεία Σχημάτων (Λονδίνο, British Psychological Society,Part 1) και στις Διατροφικές Διαταραχές (Αθήνα, Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης Διατροφικών Διαταραχών και British Psychological Society). Η πρώτη της εμπειρία σαν θεραπεύτρια έλαβε χώρα στην εταιρία Antiloneliness (Χάγη και Λάιντεν, 2018) όπου εργάστηκε υποστηρίζοντας άτομα από όλο τον κόσμο τα οποία αντιμετώπιζαν δυσκολίες προσαρμογής, σχέσεων, ψυχιατρικές διαταραχές κ.α. ενώ παράλληλα έλαβε και την πρώτη της εκπαίδευση ως Ψυχοθεραπέυτρια. Η κλινική της εκπαίδευση συνεχίστηκε στον φορέα ΚΛΙΜΑΚΑ (Αθήνα, 2020), όπου εργάστηκε για περίπου δύο χρόνια αποκτώντας εμπειρία στην ψυχοπαθολογία και κυρίως στον αυτοκτονικό ιδεασμό, στηρίζοντας άτομα με ψυχιατρικές διαταραχές και τελώντας εικοσιτετράωρες εφημερίες στην Εθνική Γραμμή για την Πρόληψη της Αυτοκτονίας (1018). Οι σπουδές της αλλά και η εμπειρία της με ανθρώπους από όλο τον κόσμο, της έδωσαν την ευκαιρία να χρησιμοποιεί ένα ολιστικό μοντέλο θεραπείας τόσο διαφορετικό και δυναμικό, όσο και η ανθρώπινη φύση. Στο μοντέλο αυτό υπάρχουν στοιχεία από την Θεωρία Σχημάτων, η οποία έχει αποτελέσει την βασική της ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση, την Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφοριστική Θεραπεία, την Gestalt, και πολλά άλλα. Στόχος της, είναι η συνεχής ενημέρωση και γνώση νέων εργαλείων προσανατολισμένων στην ανακούφιση και υποστήριξη. Ο άνθρωπος είναι κατεξοχήν δυναμικό όν, αλλάζει, προσαρμόζεται και εξελίσσεται. Έτσι ακριβώς αντιλαμβάνεται το θεραπευτικό ταξίδι και αποτελεί έναν από τους σημαντικότερους λόγους που την γοήτευσε και συνεχίζει να την γοητεύει.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
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.
