Η Λουλουδένια Μαλιγκάνη είναι αδειούχος Ψυχολόγος και Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια.Η ακαδημαϊκή της πορεία ξεκίνησε από τη Σχολή Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Bangor της Ουαλίας, στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο (BSc in Psychology, Bangor University, UK), από όπου αποφοίτησε. Στη συνέχεια, ολοκλήρωσε τις μεταπτυχιακές της σπουδές στο Πανεπιστήμιο Liverpool John Moores της Αγγλίας (MSc in Drug Use and Addiction, Liverpool John Moores University, UK), αποκτώντας πολύτιμη κλινική εμπειρία σε ένα ευρύ φάσμα περιστατικών μέσα από δομές του Liverpool Lighthouse Project στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο και, αργότερα, στο Πρόγραμμα Εναλλακτικής Θεραπείας Εξαρτημένων Ατόμων «ΑΡΓΩ» του Ψυχιατρικού Νοσοκομείου Θεσσαλονίκης.Στο πλαίσιο της διαρκούς επιστημονικής της επιμόρφωσης, ολοκλήρωσε την τετραετή εκπαίδευσή της στη Συστημική Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Συστημικής Μελέτης και Θεραπείας Θεσσαλονίκης (ΚΕΣΜΕΘΘ), το οποίο είναι πιστοποιημένο από την Ευρωπαϊκή Εταιρεία Οικογενειακής Θεραπείας (EFTA).Με γνώμονα τη συνεχή επιστημονική της εξέλιξη, προχώρησε σε επιπλέον μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Ιατρική Σχολή του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης, ολοκληρώνοντας το Πρόγραμμα Μεταπτυχιακών Σπουδών στην «Κλινική Ψυχική Υγεία».Από το 2016 εργάζεται με ευάλωτες προσφυγικές ομάδες στην Ελλάδα, συνεργαζόμενη με την ΑΡΣΙΣ και τον Διεθνή Οργανισμό Μετανάστευσης (ΔΟΜ), παρέχοντας υπηρεσίες ψυχοκοινωνικής υποστήριξης και συμβουλευτικής σε ενήλικες και οικογένειες σε διάφορες δομές της χώρας.Είναι μέλος της Συστημικής Εταιρείας Βόρειας Ελλάδας (Σ.Ε.Β.Ε.) και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Βασιλέως Ηρακλείου 47, στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Παράλληλα, μέσω διαδικτυακών συνεδριών, συνεργάζεται με ανθρώπους που αναζητούν μια ουσιαστική διέξοδο από τις δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζουν στην καθημερινότητά τους.Γνωρίζει ότι η απόφαση να ξεκινήσει κανείς ψυχοθεραπεία απαιτεί θάρρος. Για τον λόγο αυτό, βασική της προτεραιότητα είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και υποστηρικτικού θεραπευτικού πλαισίου. Ένας χώρος χωρίς κριτική, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα και να ακουστεί όπως πραγματικά είναι. Με σεβασμό στον προσωπικό ρυθμό του κάθε θεραπευόμενου, στόχος της είναι η κατανόηση όσων βρίσκονται πίσω από τα συμπτώματα και η ανακάλυψη προσωπικών, λειτουργικών τρόπων διαχείρισης των δυσκολιών.Συχνά, οι άνθρωποι που την επισκέπτονται αναζητούν υποστήριξη για:Έντονο άγχος,όταν οι καθημερινές ανησυχίες, οι φοβίες ή οι κρίσεις πανικού δυσκολεύουν την καθημερινή ζωή.Δυσκολίες στη διάθεση και το συναίσθημα, όπως επίμονη θλίψη, συναισθηματική εξάντληση ή έλλειψη κινήτρου.Δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, που αφορούν τον/τη σύντροφο, την οικογένεια, την επικοινωνία ή τη θέσπιση υγιών ορίων.Ζητήματα αυτοεκτίμησης, όταν η έντονη αυτοκριτική επηρεάζει την εμπιστοσύνη στον εαυτό.Μεταβατικές περιόδους ζωής, όπως ένας χωρισμός, μια απώλεια, το πένθος ή η επαγγελματική εξουθένωση (burnout).Πιστεύει ότι κάθε άνθρωπος είναι μοναδικός και, γι' αυτό, προσαρμόζει τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία στις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες του καθενός, τηρώντας πάντοτε απόλυτη εχεμύθεια και το επαγγελματικό απόρρητο.Όσοι αισθάνονται έτοιμοι να κάνουν το πρώτο βήμα ή επιθυμούν να ενημερωθούν για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο πραγματοποιείται η ψυχοθεραπευτική διαδικασία, μπορούν να επικοινωνήσουν μαζί της.
