About the specialist

Η Ελένη Μίχα είναι Ψυχολόγος – Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, κάτοχος νόμιμης άδειας ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος, και διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στους Αμπελοκήπους. Είναι κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου στην Κλινική Γνωστική Νευροψυχολογία και εξειδίκευσης στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία (CBT). Παράλληλα, εκπαιδεύεται στην Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο ΔΙΚΕ.ΨΥ και έχει παρακολουθήσει μετεκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα στο ΕΚΠΑ με αντικείμενο τις Διαταραχές Προσωπικότητας Cluster B.

Για την ίδια, η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι μια βαθιά προσωπική και μετασχηματιστική διαδικασία. Πρεσβεύει πως η θεραπευτική διαδικασία δεν αφορά την αναζήτηση της τελειότητας, αλλά τη δυνατότητα πρωτίστως να γνωρίσουμε, και έπειτα να αποδεχτούμε τον εαυτό μας με τις δυσκολίες, τις αντιφάσεις και τις δυνατότητές του. Κεντρικό στοιχείο της προσέγγισής της είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς, σταθερού και αποδεκτικού θεραπευτικού πλαισίου, μέσα στο οποίο κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, χωρίς φόβο κριτικής, και να είναι αυθεντικά ο εαυτός του. Με διαφάνεια, αμεσότητα και σεβασμό στη μοναδική ατομικότητα του κάθε ανθρώπου, επιδιώκει να καλλιεργεί μια ουσιαστική θεραπευτική σχέση, προσαρμοσμένη στις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες, τις εμπειρίες και τον προσωπικό ρυθμό του.

Υιοθετεί μια ολιστική προσέγγιση, αντιμετωπίζοντας τον άνθρωπο ως μια ενιαία ψυχοσωματική ολότητα, στην οποία η ψυχική και η σωματική υγεία αλληλεπιδρούν. Η θεραπευτική σχέση αποτελεί για εκείνη μια σχέση συνεργασίας και εμπιστοσύνης. Δεν βρίσκεται απέναντι από τον άνθρωπο, αλλά δίπλα του, ως συνοδοιπόρος στο προσωπικό του ταξίδι.  

Αναλαμβάνει ατομικές συνεδρίες ψυχοθεραπείας ενηλίκων και εφήβων, καθώς και θεραπεία ζεύγους. Παρέχει επίσης τη δυνατότητα διαδικτυακών συνεδριών. Καθώς τα αγγλικά αποτελούν δεύτερη μητρική της γλώσσα, παρέχει τις υπηρεσίες της και στην αγγλική γλώσσα.

Έχει αποκτήσει κλινική εμπειρία σε κέντρο μνήμης και αποκατάστασης ασθενών με άνοια, σε ινστιτούτο Νευροψυχολογικής Αξιολόγησης, Παρέμβασης και Έρευνας παιδιών και εφήβων, καθώς και στο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Αθηνών «Ευαγγελισμός», μεταξύ άλλων, συμμετέχοντας στη διεξαγωγή ερευνητικών πρωτοκόλλων.

Παράλληλα, συνεργάζεται με την αεροπορική εταιρεία Bluebird Airways ως εταιρική ψυχολόγος και διδάσκει μαθήματα Ψυχολογίας σε προπτυχιακά προγράμματα σπουδών και σε κέντρα μετακεπαιδευσεων για ειδικούς ψυχικής υγείας. Συμμετέχει ως ομιλήτρια σε σεμινάρια και ενημερωτικές δράσεις εταιρειών και οργανισμών. Επιπλέον, προσφέρει εθελοντικά υπηρεσίες σε γραμμές ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης και συνεργάζεται ως εξωτερική συνεργάτιδα με την ιστοσελίδα Psychologynow, επιμελούμενη άρθρα σχετικά με την ψυχική υγεία. Επενδύει διαρκώς στην επιστημονική της κατάρτιση μέσω επιμορφώσεων, ομιλιών, σεμιναρίων και μετεκπαιδεύσεων, διατηρώντας ισχυρή επιστημονική παρουσία στο χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας.

«Όταν αλλάζουμε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίζουμε τον κόσμο, ο κόσμος γύρω μας αρχίζει να αλλάζει.»
