Η Δήμητρα Μουσιώνη είναι Προσωποκεντρική Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και βιωματική/ Focusing ψυχοθεραπεύτρια σε διαδικασία πιστοποίησης, πιστοποιημένη εκπαιδεύτρια γονέων (Attached at the Heart Parent Educator) από το Attachment Parenting Hellas.

Σπούδασε Επικοινωνία, Μέσα και Πολιτισμό (κατεύθυνση Δημοσιογραφίας) στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο και εργάστηκε ως δημοσιογράφος (διεθνή, ελεύθερο και εκπαιδευτικό ρεπορτάζ) στην ΕΡΤ και την Ελευθεροτυπία. Η γέννηση του παιδιού της σήμανε την έναρξη ενός κύκλου αναζήτησης, θεραπείας και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης. Ακολούθησαν πολλές εκπαιδεύσεις και σεμινάρια σχετικά με τη γονεϊκότητα, την εκπαίδευση, την ανάπτυξη του παιδιού, τη σημασία του παιχνιδιού και το τραύμα, τις οποίες συνεχίζει έως σήμερα. 

Έχει εργαστεί εθελοντικά στο Ελληνικό Δίκτυο Γυναικών Ευρώπης, στη Γραμμή ΣΟΣ Δίπλα σου για την πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση της έμφυλης βίας και στο Τμήμα Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας του Ελληνικού Κέντρου Focusing, παρέχοντας συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες με ΔΕΠΥ.

Επέλεξε την Προσωποκεντρική καθώς είναι από τις λίγες θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις όπου η θεραπεύτρια δεν μπαίνει με την ταμπέλα της ειδικού στη θεραπευτική σχέση. Αντίθετα, αναγνωρίζοντας τα προνόμια και τις ευθύνες του ρόλου της, υποστηρίζει, διευκολύνει και συνοδεύει τα θεραπευόμενα στη δική τους μοναδική διαδικασία. Παράλληλα, πιστεύει ότι ο ενσυναισθητικός, με αποδοχή και αυθεντικότητα τρόπος συνοδείας των ανθρώπων αποτελεί τη βάση κάθε συμβουλευτικής και θεραπευτικής σχέσης.

Εμπιστεύεται και έχει βιώσει τη μεταμορφωτική δύναμη της διαδικασίας εστίασης (Focusing), μέσω της επαφής με τη βιωμένη αίσθηση, το άνοιγμα του εσωτερικού χώρου και τη δημιουργία σχέσης ασφάλειας και εμπιστοσύνης με το αισθητηριακό σώμα. 

Η προσέγγισή της εστιάζει στη σημασία της σχέσης και του ασφαλούς συναισθηματικού δεσμού, του τραύματος και της λειτουργίας του αυτόνομου νευρικού συστήματος. Επιπλέον, αναγνωρίζει τη σημασία της επιβεβαιωτικής στάσης ως προς τη νευροποικιλότητα, τα φύλα και τις σεξουαλικότητες.

Αγαπά το διάβασμα, το παιχνίδι, τον χορό, τα ταξίδια και κυρίως το να ξεμαθαίνει και να μαθαίνει συνεχώς.
