Η Σαλέμ Χάρις είναι Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στον Άγιο Δημήτριο. Είναι απόφοιτη του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου και κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου στις «Εφαρμογές της Ψυχολογίας στην Υγεία» από το Τμήμα Ιατρικής του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης. Παράλληλα, ολοκληρώνει την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συνθετική Συμβουλευτική και Ψυχοθεραπεία σε μεταπτυχιακό επίπεδο στο University of Derby. Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση είναι Συνθετική και προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες, τις δυσκολίες και τους στόχους κάθε ανθρώπου. Αξιοποιεί στοιχεία από την Προσωποκεντρική, τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική και την Ψυχοδυναμική προσέγγιση, με στόχο την καλύτερη κατανόηση των συναισθημάτων, των σκέψεων και των μοτίβων που επηρεάζουν την καθημερινότητα και τις σχέσεις. Η εξειδίκευσή της στην Ψυχολογία της Υγείας της επιτρέπει να προσεγγίζει τον άνθρωπο ολιστικά, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη στενή σύνδεση μεταξύ ψυχικής και σωματικής υγείας. Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο μπορεί να διερευνηθεί η επίδραση του άγχους, των συναισθημάτων, των σχέσεων και των καθημερινών συνηθειών στη συνολική ευεξία, καθώς και η ψυχολογική επιβάρυνση που μπορεί να συνοδεύει ένα ζήτημα υγείας, μια διάγνωση ή μια περίοδο σωματικών αλλαγών.

Στις συνεδρίες επιδιώκει να δημιουργεί ένα ήρεμο, ασφαλές και χωρίς κριτική πλαίσιο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, με σεβασμό στον προσωπικό του ρυθμό και στις ανάγκες του. Για την ίδια, η ψυχοθεραπεία δεν έχει στόχο να υποδείξει σε κάποιον πώς πρέπει να ζήσει, αλλά να τον βοηθήσει να γνωρίσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του, να αναγνωρίσει τις ανάγκες του και να κάνει επιλογές που έχουν προσωπικό νόημα. Η θεραπευτική διαδικασία αποτελεί έναν χώρο όπου μπορούν να συνυπάρξουν οι δυσκολίες, η αυτογνωσία και η αναζήτηση νέων, πιο βοηθητικών τρόπων διαχείρισης.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

What it is

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Helps the individual to change dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors. Improves your functioning and quality of life by helping to change patterns and behaviours. Teaches you to be your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment. It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

Approach

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time.
