The Kentro Symfyia - Sakalidi Ioanna is located in Ano Patissia. The philosophy of "Symfyia," as its name suggests, symbolizes healing through the union and synthesis of the self, emphasizing the idea of integration and harmonious coexistence. The name of our psychotherapeutic center reflects the inspiration behind its creation—the process by which two or more entities/ideas closely unite in a way that they become inseparable and function as a single harmonious whole. Embodying these ideas, the center follows the Synthetic Psychotherapeutic approach both individually and in groups. Its purpose is to provide support to individuals so that they can address issues that concern them, such as anxiety management, crisis intervention, interpersonal relationships, self-improvement, personal development, and emotional conflicts. This approach is based on the relationship developed between therapist and client, which, to be effective and creative, must be well-defined, involve warmth and responsiveness, and take place in an atmosphere of acceptance and trust, where free expression of emotions is encouraged.
