Η Αποστολοπούλου Εύα είναι Ψυχολόγος με κλινική άδεια ασκήσης επαγγέλματος, απόφοιτη του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου Κοινωνικών και Πολιτικών Επιστημών. Στο πλαίσιο της πρακτικής της άσκησης εργάστηκε στη Διεύθυνση Κοινωνικής Πολιτικής & Υγείας του Δήμου Βύρωνα, όπου εκπαιδεύτηκε στη χρήση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων και στην αξιολόγηση δυσκολιών παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας. Εκεί, ανέλαβε τον συντονισμό παιδικών εργαστηρίων και ψυχοεκπαιδευτικών ομιλιών, ως μέρος της θεραπευτικής παρέμβασης που ανέπτυξε στη διπλωματική της εργασία.

Με περισσότερα από 6 χρόνια επαγγελματικής εμπειρίας σε μεγάλους οργανισμούς και startups σε Ελλάδα και Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, σε ρόλους που αφορούσαν το Human Resources και το Account Management, η Εύα έχει βαθιά κατανόηση των ανθρώπινων δυναμικών και της διαχείρισης σχέσεων σε πολυσύνθετα επαγγελματικά περιβάλλοντα. Έχει δουλέψει σε μεγάλα projects, με στόχο την αλλαγή εταιρικής κουλτούρας, εμπειρίες που τη βοήθησαν να δει καθαρά ότι η συμπεριφορά δεν μπορεί να εξεταστεί αποκομμένα από το πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο ζούμε, δουλεύουμε, μαθαίνουμε... Η έκθεσή της σε διαφορετικές κουλτούρες και οργανωτικά μοντέλα έχει ενισχύσει τη συστημική της οπτική, ώστε να αναγνωρίζει πώς η δομή, οι ρόλοι και τα επικοινωνιακά μοτίβα επηρεάζουν την ατομική και ομαδική συμπεριφορά.

Η επαγγελματική της εξειδίκευση συνεχίζεται μέσω του 4ετούς Προγράμματος Συστημικής Ψυχοθεραπείας & Συμβουλευτικής στο Εργαστήριο “Ροδάκινο”, το οποίο είναι αναγνωρισμένο από τον Ευρωπαϊκό Σύνδεσμο Οικογενειακών Θεραπευτών (E.F.T.A.). Ακόμα, κατέχει πιστοποιητικά επιμόρφωσης στις “Εφαρμογές Συμβουλευτικής σε παιδιά & εφήβους” και στην “Τέχνη ως Θεραπευτικό Εργαλείο”, ενώ συνεχίζει να εκπαιδεύεται πάνω στο αντικείμενό της μέσα από επιστημονικά προγράμματα που εμπλουτίζουν τις γνώσεις της. Αυτή την περίοδο πραγματοποιεί συνεδρίες με παιδιά, εφήβους, ενήλικες και οικογένειες σε πολυδύναμα Κέντρα Ειδικών Θεραπειών. Ταυτόχρονα, εργάζεται ως Ψυχολόγος, προσφέροντας εξ’ αποστάσεως υπηρεσίες συμβουλευτικής σε ανθρώπους όλων των ηλικιών, ενώ συμμετέχει εθελοντικά σε γραμμή τηλεφωνικής υποστήριξης.

Το επαγγελματικό της όραμα είναι να ενσωματώνει την επιστημονική της κατάρτιση με την πρακτική εμπειρία της. Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργεί χώρο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να ακουστεί, να ενδυναμωθεί και να διαμορφώσει νέους, πιο υγιείς τρόπους σύνδεσης και επικοινωνίας με τους γύρω του.

Η Διαμαντή Ελένη είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και διατηρεί το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία, έναν χώρο αφιερωμένο στην προσωπική εξέλιξη και τη συναισθηματική αποφόρτιση. Πιστεύει ακράδαντα ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι μια ζωντανή εμπειρία που υπερβαίνει τη συζήτηση. Για τον λόγο αυτό, η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στο Ψυχόδραμα, μια μέθοδο που προσκαλεί το άτομο να «δράσει» τις εσωτερικές του συγκρούσεις αντί απλώς να τις περιγράψει, στοχεύοντας στη διαρκή ανάπτυξη της προσωπικότητας.

Είναι πτυχιούχος και κάτοχος Integrate Master του Τμήματος Θεάτρου Σχολής Καλών Τεχνών Α.Π.Θ., με ειδικότητα στη Θεατρολογία - Δραματολογία και τα Θεατροπαιδαγωγικά. Ολοκλήρωσα τη διπλωματική της εργασία αναφορικά με την επίδραση του Θεάτρου στους εφήβους και παρακολούθησε με επιτυχία επιμορφωτικά σεμινάρια ("Παιδί, τραύμα και πένθος", "Ιχνηλάτιση παιδικής ζωγραφιάς", "Σχολική Ψυχολογία"). Σήμερα εκπαιδεύεται ως Ψυχοδραματίστρια και Συντονίστρια Ομάδων του Ψυχοδραματικού Κέντρου Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας (ΨΥ.Κ.Α.Π.), αναγνωρισμένο στην Ευρώπη (μέλος της FEPTO). Η πρακτική της πλαισιώνεται από συνεχή εποπτεία, διασφαλίζοντας ένα ασφαλές και δεοντολογικό περιβάλλον για κάθε θεραπευόμενο. Η 5ετής εμπειρία της ως συντονίστρια θεατρικού παιχνιδιού της επέτρεψε να κατανοήσει βαθιά τη δύναμη της δράσης και του συμβόλου. Έτσι, ενσωματώνει αυτή τη γνώση στην ψυχοδραματική της πρακτική, βοηθώντας τους θεραπευόμενους να ξεκλειδώσουν τη δημιουργικότητά τους και να προσεγγίσουν τον εαυτό τους με έναν τρόπο πιο άμεσο και ζωντανό.

Σε αντίθεση με τις παραδοσιακές μορφές θεραπείας, το ψυχόδραμα χρησιμοποιεί τον αυθορμητισμό και τη δημιουργικότητα. Μέσα από τεχνικές όπως η εναλλαγή ρόλων, εξερευνώνται σχέσεις και τα όρια, οι όροι στην οικογένεια, την εργασία ή τη σχέση του ατόμου, η διαχείριση άγχους, η ανάδειξη των πηγών πίεσης και η εύρεση νέων τρόπων αντίδρασης, η αυτογνωσία, η επαφή με το "εδώ και τώρα" και η ανακάλυψη της αλήθειας του ατόμου.

Το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία είναι σχεδιασμένο για να προσφέρει την απαραίτητη άνεση και ελευθερία κινήσεων που απαιτεί η βιωματική εργασία. Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργήσει μαζί με τους θεραπευόμενους έναν "ασφαλή τόπο", όπου κάθε σκέψη και συναίσθημα μπορεί να πάρει μορφή και να μετασχηματιστεί.

Η Γκίκα Βασιλική είναι Ψυχολόγος - Διεθνώς Αδειοδοτημένη Εξειδικευμένη Θεραπεύτρια Κβαντικής Βιοανάδρασης και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Κορωπί, ενώ παρέχει και online συνεδρίες.

Την ενδιαφέρει η διερεύνηση θεμάτων που σχετίζονται με τον ψυχικό και σωματικό πόνο, τη μεταγνώση και τα παράδοξα που συχνά συνοδεύουν την ανθρώπινη εμπειρία. Πολλές φορές οι εσωτερικές μας συγκρούσεις, οι αντιφάσεις, τα διλήμματα, τα ερωτήματα που καλούμαστε να διαχειριστούμε αποτελούν ουσιαστικό κομμάτι της προσωπικής μας πορείας και μπορούν να γίνουν η αφετηρία μιας βαθύτερης κατανόησης του εαυτού. Στόχος τηε ειδικού είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και ουσιαστικού πλαισίου, όπου το άτομο μπορεί να εκφραστεί με αυθεντικότητα και να προσεγγίσει με μεγαλύτερη επίγνωση τις σκέψεις, τα συναισθήματα και τις εμπειρίες του. Μέσα από την θεραπευτική διαδικασία ενισχύεται η μεταγνώση, δηλαδή η δυνατότητα να παρατηρούμε και να κατανοούμε βαθύτερα τον τρόπο με τον οποίο λειτουργούμε, σκεφτόμαστε και σχετιζόμαστε με τον εαυτό μας και τους άλλους. Θεωρεί ότι η κατανόηση του εσωτερικού μας κόσμου μπορεί να συμβάλει ουσιαστικά στην ψυχική ισορροπία, την αυτογνωσία και την προσωπική εξέλιξη.
