Ο Ψυχαρμός είναι ένας σύγχρονος χώρος συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας για ενήλικες, παιδιά και εφήβους. Υποστηρίζουμε άτομα, ζευγάρια, γονείς και οικογένειες μέσα από μια επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη και συνεργατική θεραπευτική διαδικασία που εστιάζει στις σχέσεις, την επικοινωνία και την ενίσχυση των προσωπικών και συλλογικών αποθεμάτων. Η λέξη «Ψυχαρμός» επιλέχθηκε για να συμβολίσει το σημείο ένωσης. Ο αρμός είναι το σημείο όπου δύο επιφάνειες συναντιούνται και συγκρατούνται. Στην ανθρώπινη εμπειρία, ο εαυτός δεν είναι ενιαίος· αποτελείται από πολλαπλές φωνές, ρόλους και βιώματα. Η θεραπεία αποτελεί μια διαδικασία μέσω της οποίας αυτές οι πλευρές μπορούν να συνυπάρξουν, να διαλεχθούν και να συνδεθούν. Παράλληλα, αναγνωρίζουμε ότι το άτομο διαμορφώνεται μέσα στις σχέσεις του και ότι η αλλαγή γεννιέται στη συνάντηση. Η θεραπεία δεν αφορά την εξάλειψη των ρωγμών, αλλά τη δημιουργία ενός νέου τρόπου ένωσης.
