Η Κωνσταντίνα Κασιμάτη είναι Ψυχολόγος – Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Γλυφάδα Αττικής. Είναι ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Γνωσιακή – Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία (ΓΣΘ) και στην Παιγνιοθεραπεία. Παρέχει υπηρεσίες ψυχοθεραπείας και συμβουλευτικής σε ενήλικες, εφήβους και παιδιά. Στόχος της είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς, υποστηρικτικού και εμπιστευτικού θεραπευτικού πλαισίου, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, να κατανοήσει σε βάθος τον εαυτό του και να αναπτύξει νέους, πιο λειτουργικούς τρόπους διαχείρισης των δυσκολιών του. Μέσα από τη Γνωσιακή – Συμπεριφορική προσέγγιση, η θεραπευτική διαδικασία εστιάζει στην αναγνώριση και τροποποίηση σκέψεων, συναισθημάτων και συμπεριφορών που επηρεάζουν αρνητικά την καθημερινότητα, με στόχο την ουσιαστική ανακούφιση και τη διαρκή προσωπική εξέλιξη.

Πιστεύει ότι η θεραπευτική αλλαγή προκύπτει μέσα από τη σχέση εμπιστοσύνης, την αποδοχή και τη συνεργασία και ότι κάθε μικρό βήμα προς την αυτογνωσία αποτελεί μια σημαντική επένδυση στην ψυχική ευεξία.
