Η Πετρίνα Ρούσσου είναι Κλινική & Κοινοτική Ψυχολόγος (UEL) και Ειδ. Ψυχοδυναμική - Ψυχαναλυτική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια (ΔΙ.ΚΕ.Ψ.Υ.), Προσωπική Ακαδημαϊκή Σύμβουλος, Διδάσκουσα και Επόπτρια στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας του Μητροπολιτικού Κολλεγίου (Oxford Brookes University). Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στον Πειραιά, παρέχοντας ατομικές συνεδρίες ψυχοθεραπείας Δια ζώσης και Διαδικτυακά. Είναι μέλος του British Psychological Society (GMBPsS), διεθνές μέλος της American Psychological Association (APA) και δόκιμο μέλος της European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) και της Εθνικής Εταιρείας Ψυχοθεραπείας Ελλάδος (ΕΕΨΕ), διατηρώντας ενεργή παρουσία στην επιστημονική και θεραπευτική κοινότητα.

Η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία περιλαμβάνει κλινική εργασία σε νοσοκομειακό πλαίσιο, στο Ναυτικό Νοσοκομείο Πειραιά, με συμμετοχή σε προγράμματα νοητικής ενδυνάμωσης και ψυχοκοινωνικής υποστήριξης του εξωτερικού νευρολογικού ιατρείου. Έπειτα, συνέχισε ερευνητικά και θεραπευτικά στο ΚΕΘΕΑ Εν Δράσει, σε ένα πρόγραμμα που εστιάζει στη συμβουλευτική, τη θεραπεία και την κοινωνική επανένταξη ατόμων με δυσκολίες εξάρτησης και εμπλοκής με το ποινικό σύστημα, ενισχύοντας τη σύνδεση της ψυχοκοινωνικής έρευνας με την κλινική πρακτική και την κοινοτική παρέμβαση. Παράλληλα, έχει αναπτύξει θεραπευτική εμπειρία με παιδιά, εφήβους, γονείς και ενήλικες σε κέντρα ειδικών θεραπειών στον Πειραιά και στη Σύρο, διαμορφώνοντας μια σφαιρική και πολυεπίπεδη κατανόηση της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας. Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο, βασισμένη στην ψυχαναλυτική & ψυχοδυναμική της εκπαίδευση, προσεγγίζει την ψυχική ανάπτυξη και τις σχέσεις ως μια δυναμική διαδικασία που εξελίσσεται σε όλο το φάσμα της ζωής. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο εργάζεται με ζευγάρια, γονείς, παιδιά, εφήβους και ενήλικες, δουλεύοντας με τις ασυνείδητες διεργασίες, τους δεσμούς και τα σχεσιακά μοτίβα που διαμορφώνουν την εμπειρία του εαυτού και του άλλου. Η κλινική της πρακτική εστιάζει στη δημιουργία ενός σταθερού και ασφαλούς πλαισίου, όπου κάθε ηλικιακή και οικογενειακή ομάδα μπορεί να επεξεργαστεί το προσωπικό της νόημα, ενισχύοντας τη συναισθηματική κατανόηση, τη συμβολοποίηση και την ψυχική ωρίμανση.

Η ενασχόλησή της με διαφορετικές ηλικιακές ομάδες και ποικίλα θεραπευτικά αιτήματα ενίσχυσε μια βαθιά κατανόηση της δυναμικής της θεραπευτικής σχέσης και της αλληλεπίδρασης ανάμεσα στο βίωμα, την ιστορία και τον εσωτερικό κόσμο κάθε ανθρώπου. Μέσα από την ψυχαναλυτική οπτική, η θεραπεία δεν αποτελεί απλώς μια διαδικασία διαχείρισης δυσκολιών, αλλά ένα χώρο όπου το ασυνείδητο μπορεί να αποκτήσει φωνή και νόημα. Όπως συμβαίνει συχνά στη ζωή, επαναλαμβανόμενα μοτίβα, ανεξήγητα συναισθήματα ή σχέσεις που μας δυσκολεύουν κρύβουν βαθύτερες ρίζες. Η ψυχαναλυτική διαδικασία προσφέρει έναν ασφαλή τόπο εξερεύνησης, όπου τα κομμάτια της εμπειρίας μπορούν να συνδεθούν, τα κρυμμένα νοήματα να αναδυθούν και να δημιουργηθεί χώρος για ουσιαστική αλλαγή. Εκεί όπου η κατανόηση του ασυνείδητου συναντά την ανθρώπινη σχέση, ανοίγεται η δυνατότητα για μια πιο αυθεντική, ζωντανή και συνειδητή εμπειρία ζωής.
