Focusing-Based Experiential Approach Humanistic Therapy Person-Centered Psychotherapy
About the specialist

As a psychotherapist, I work with a calm, steady presence and offer a setting of safety, respect, and genuineness, where what you experience can be heard at your own pace. My approach is person-centered and non-directive: the goal is not to “change you,” but to create space for you to recognize what you feel, what you need, and how you wish to care for yourself. I accompany adults facing anxiety, sadness or low mood, burnout, fear/panic, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the consistency of small steps: through quiet, attentive meetings, needs and boundaries come into focus, and more care is cultivated in everyday life. If this way of working feels right, it would be a pleasure to meet.

Το κέντρο Med-Y-Life κατέχει κάθε χρόνο το πιστοποιητικό "Εταιρεία Υψηλής Αξιοπιστίας .

Φέτος είναι διακριθείσα επιχείρηση του διαγωνισμού «Αετοί».

Το MED-Y-LIFE δημιουργήθηκε από την Ελένη Μυλωνοπούλου με μια φιλοσοφία.

Δεν προσαρμόζουμε τον άνθρωπο στη θεραπεία.

Προσαρμόζουμε τη θεραπευτική προσέγγιση στον άνθρωπο.

Το Medylife είναι ενας σύγχρονος χώρος ψυχοθεραπευτικών και συμβουλευτικών προσεγγίσεων στο Χαλάνδρι, όπου πίσω από το άγχος, τις κρίσεις πανικού, τις δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, τον θυμό, την ανασφάλεια ή μια δύσκολη περίοδο ζωής βλέπουμε πρώτα τον άνθρωπο.

Η Δρ Ελένη Μυλωνοπούλου προσεγγίζει τη θεραπευτική σχέση με σύνδεση, αυθεντικότητα και σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου.

Στόχος δεν είναι απλώς να μιλήσετε για το πρόβλημα.

Είναι να κατανοήσετε τι το δημιουργεί, τι το συντηρεί και τι χρειάζεται να αλλάξει ώστε να μπορέσετε να ζήσετε διαφορετικά.

Η θεραπευτική φιλοσοφία

Στο MED-Y-LIFE η Δρ Ελένη Μυλωνοπούλου δεν πιστεύει ότι ένας άνθρωπος ορίζεται από μία διάγνωση ή ένα σύμπτωμα.

Πίσω από το άγχος μπορεί να υπάρχει φόβος.

Πίσω από τον θυμό μπορεί να υπάρχει πληγή.

Πίσω από μια δύσκολη σχέση μπορεί να υπάρχει ένα μοτίβο που επαναλαμβάνεται.

Και πίσω από το «δεν μπορώ» μπορεί να υπάρχει μια πεποίθηση που δημιουργήθηκε πολλά χρόνια πριν.

Η θεραπευτική εργασία επικεντρώνεται τόσο στο τι συμβαίνει σήμερα, όσο και στους μηχανισμούς που μπορεί να βρίσκονται πίσω από αυτό.

Ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες κάθε θεραπευόμενου, η προσέγγιση μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία, Συμβουλευτική Ψυχοθεραπεία,Ψυχοθεραπεία παιδιών και εφήβων και, όπου ενδείκνυται, Κλινική Θεραπευτική Ύπνωση.

Στο MED-Y-LIFE παρέχεται υποστήριξη στη γυναίκα κατά την εγκυμοσύνη και τη μετάβαση στη μητρότητα, με ιδιαίτερη προσοχή στο άγχος, στους φόβους, στις αλλαγές ταυτότητας και στη συναισθηματική προσαρμογή στη νέα πραγματικότητα
