About the specialist

Maria Kyvrikoseou is a Psychologist. She graduated from the Department of Psychology at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences and is continuing her studies at the Center for Systemic Education and Counseling "Allilepidrasis." She primarily works online, but face-to-face sessions are also available upon arrangement. Her philosophy of systemic psychotherapy is summarized by Virginia Satir's quote: "A person is born in relation, lives in relation, and is healed in relation." Therefore, the "problem" is examined and understood through the way the individual interacts with the people around them, rather than considering the individual as an isolated unit apart from the social context. Additionally, she has attended seminars related to Special Education at the University of Piraeus and School Psychology at Panteion University. She is committed to creating a safe, warm, and human space where everyone can express themselves freely, listen to their inner self, and discover new ways to relate both to others and to themselves. If you feel you are going through a period of change, reflection, or simply want to better understand yourself and your relationships, Ms. Kyvrikoseou will be happy to meet you.

About the specialist

The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is an important and courageous act of self-care.

Whether someone is going through a difficult period, looking for ways to get to know themselves better, improve their relationships, or strengthen their psychological resilience, they have the opportunity to find support.

Ms. Christina Lepida follows an integrative approach to psychotherapy, enriched with elements from the existential–phenomenological perspective, which emphasizes lived experience, freedom, authenticity, and the meaning of life. At the same time, she incorporates techniques and tools from other evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), thus tailoring each session to the specific needs of the individual.

Her goal is to offer a safe, genuine, and supportive space, where one can express themselves freely, without judgment. Together, you will explore the difficulties you are facing and seek ways for meaningful change and personal growth.

Ms. Lepida provides specialized psychotherapy services that cover a wide range of needs.

From the perspective of Systemic Thinking, each person is seen as part of a broader whole. Every change in one member of the system has the potential to bring positive transformation to the entire system. People often experience psychological distress within relationships—but through genuine and supportive interaction, those same relationships can become a space for healing and growth.
