Η Γκέκα Ευαγγελία είναι Ψυχολόγος – Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Νέα Ιωνία, παρέχοντας υπηρεσίες ατομικής ψυχοθεραπείας σε ενήλικες βασισμένη σε τεκμηριωμένες μεθόδους και σύγχρονα θεραπευτικά μοντέλα.

Αποφοίτησε από το University of Derby (Τμήμα Ψυχολογίας) και εκπαιδεύτηκε στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Ψυχοθεραπείας. Ολοκλήρωσε, επιπλέον, μονοετές πρόγραμμα «Ανώτερης Πρακτικής στη Γνωσιακή – Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία», το οποίο περιλάμβανε 170 ώρες εξειδικευμένης εκπαίδευσης, 190 ώρες εποπτευόμενης κλινικής άσκησης και 100 ώρες προσωπικής ανάπτυξης, εμβαθύνοντας στα νεότερα μοντέλα CBT και ενισχύοντας ουσιαστικά την κλινική της επάρκεια.

Πραγματοποίησε την πρακτική της άσκηση στην Ψυχιατρική Πτέρυγα του Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Αθήνας – Γ. Γεννηματάς, όπου συμμετείχε ενεργά σε εφημερίες και στη διαχείριση απαιτητικών κλινικών περιστατικών (ψυχώσεις, κρίσεις πανικού, αγχώδεις διαταραχές, διαταραχές προσωπικότητας, σοβαρά καταθλιπτικά επεισόδια). Εκπαιδεύτηκε στη χορήγηση και αξιολόγηση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων (όπως το MMPI), συμμετείχε ενεργά σε διεπιστημονικές ομάδες και στο τμήμα Διασυνδετικής Ψυχιατρικής, αποκτώντας πολύτιμη εμπειρία στη διαχείριση σύνθετων κλινικών περιστατικών. Η εμπειρία αυτή της επιτρέπει να εργάζεται με ασφάλεια και ψυχραιμία ακόμη και σε περιπτώσεις υψηλής συναισθηματικής έντασης.

Έχει συνεργαστεί με δομές ψυχικής υγείας και φορείς, μεταξύ των οποίων και η Ψυχογηριατρική Εταιρεία «Ο Νέστωρ», ενώ έχει παρακολουθήσει πληθώρα εξειδικευμένων σεμιναρίων στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό, εμπλουτίζοντας διαρκώς τη θεωρητική και κλινική της κατάρτιση.

Παράλληλα, έχει ολοκληρώσει ετήσια εκπαίδευση στη Μουσικοθεραπεία με συντονιστή τον Δημήτρη Ψύχα, διευρύνοντας τα θεραπευτικά της εργαλεία με δημιουργικές και βιωματικές παρεμβάσεις. Αυτή την περίοδο συμμετέχει στο ευρωπαϊκό εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα Music – P.O.W.E.R. (Music – Promoting Opportunities for Women’s Empowerment and Recovery), που υλοποιείται από τη SONARA – Διεπιστημονική Εταιρεία Μουσικοθεραπείας και Έρευνας, υπό τον συντονισμό της WE World σε σύμπραξη με την ActionAid Hellas και την Asociación Bienestar y Desarrollo (ABD), με συγχρηματοδότηση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Το πρόγραμμα εστιάζει στην ενδυνάμωση και φροντίδα γυναικών μέσω εξειδικευμένων μουσικοθεραπευτικών παρεμβάσεων.

Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση βασίζεται σε τεκμηριωμένες μεθόδους, με έμφαση στη συνεργατική σχέση θεραπευτή–θεραπευόμενου, την ενίσχυση της αυτογνωσίας και την ανάπτυξη ουσιαστικών δεξιοτήτων διαχείρισης δυσκολιών, με σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα και τον ρυθμό κάθε ανθρώπου.
