Η Ελευθερία Βαρταλά είναι Ψυχολόγος- Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια. Η επιστημονική της ταυτότητα έχει χτιστεί μέσα από τη συνάντηση διαφορετικών πεδίων της ψυχολογίας, με κοινό σημείο το ενδιαφέρον για τον άνθρωπο, τις σχέσεις του και τις μεταβάσεις που διαμορφώνουν την πορεία της ζωής του.

Η Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία αποτελεί τον βασικό άξονα της θεραπευτικής της προσέγγισης. Η προσοχή στρέφεται στις συνδέσεις που διατρέχουν την προσωπική ιστορία: στον τρόπο που σχετιζόμαστε, στους ρόλους που διαμορφώνονται μέσα στις σχέσεις, στα μοτίβα που επανέρχονται, στις προσδοκίες και στα νοήματα που συνοδεύουν τις εμπειρίες μας. Μέσα από τον θεραπευτικό διάλογο, αυτά μπορούν να ιδωθούν από νέες οπτικές, δημιουργώντας χώρο για διαφορετικές κατανοήσεις, επιλογές και τρόπους σύνδεσης.

Η ακαδημαϊκή της πορεία συνεχίστηκε με μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Κριτική Σκέψη και τις Ήπιες Δεξιότητες στις Βιοϊατρικές και Κοινωνικές Επιστήμες, ενισχύοντας το ενδιαφέρον της για τις διεργασίες μέσα από τις οποίες ο άνθρωπος σκέφτεται, νοηματοδοτεί την εμπειρία του, επικοινωνεί και λαμβάνει αποφάσεις.

Παράλληλα, έχει επενδύσει στην κατανόηση διαφορετικών σταδίων και ιδιαίτερα σημαντικών περιόδων της ανθρώπινης ζωής. Η επιστημονική της κατάρτιση περιλαμβάνει εξειδικευμένες εκπαιδεύσεις στη Σχολική Ψυχολογία, τον Αυτισμό και την Παιδοψυχιατρική, καθώς και στη Συμβουλευτική και Ψυχική Υγεία στην Υπογονιμότητα, την Αναπαραγωγική και την Περιγεννητική Περίοδο.

Εργάζεται με παιδιά, εφήβους και ενήλικες. Κάθε θεραπευτική συνάντηση αποτελεί για εκείνη έναν χώρο ουσιαστικού διαλόγου και περιέργειας: έναν χώρο όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να παρατηρήσει τον εαυτό του μέσα στις σχέσεις και στις επιλογές του, να συνδέσει διαφορετικά κομμάτια της εμπειρίας του και να ανακαλύψει νέους τρόπους να σχετίζεται με όσα ζει.

Κάθε άνθρωπος φέρνει στη θεραπεία μια ιστορία. Και κάθε ιστορία μπορεί να αποκτήσει περισσότερους τρόπους να συνεχιστεί.
