Dimitris Aggelopoulos is a psychotherapist and educator specializing in Group Analysis. In his private practice, located in the center of Athens, he provides individual and group psychotherapy to individuals facing challenges in their personal lives, relationships, or mental health. His goal is not only the relief of symptoms, but also the emergence of each unique individual and the discovery of new ways of behavior and perception, focusing on healthy relationships and a sense of fulfillment.

He firmly believes that psychological difficulties are not solely individual problems, but mirrors of society, the relationships, and the groups within which we live and interact. Through Group Analysis, he utilizes the function of the group to facilitate the revealing of hidden aspects of the self, offering honest feedback and creating a space where individuals can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment. The group operates as a microcosm of relationships – a dynamic reality in which changes do not remain theoretical, but significantly impact the members’ broader lives.

Η Αθανασιάδου Τραϊάνα είναι Ψυχολόγος με προσέγγιση γνωσιακής Συμπεριφορικής κατεύθυνσης. Εχει εξειδίκευση στην Σεξουαλικη Υγεία, τις ψυχοσεξουαλικες διαταραχές και την ταυτότητα Φύλου. Ακολουθεί μια συνθετική προσέγγιση καθώς πιστεύει πως ο κάθε άνθρωπος είναι ξεχωριστός και για να αναπτυχθεί ο Αληθής εαυτός του χρειάζεται να φωτιστεί η ιδιαιτερότητά του.

Το άγχος, ο φόβος, η θλίψη είναι συναισθήματα που μοιραζόμαστε όλοι, ωστόσο για τον καθένα το κάθε συναίσθημα ξυπνα ένα προσωπικό "αφήγημα" ζωής.

Πιστεύει πως στην καρδιά της θεραπείας βρίσκεται ένας χώρος ζωντανός, ευέλικτος, όπου το αληθινό συναντά το δυνατό. Εκεί, μέσα σε μια σχέση που κρατά αλλά δεν εγκλωβίζει, ο εαυτός δεν χρειάζεται πια να κρύβεται—γεννιέται ξανά, ελεύθερος. 

Πιστεύει πως συχνά κάνεις γίνεται το τραύμα του και η θεραπεία επέρχεται με το να καταφέρει να δει τον εαυτό του ως ένα όλον που έχει και τραύματα ωστόσο μπορεί να τα φροντίσει και κα τα αγκαλιάσει. 

Από τα φοιτητικά ήδη χρόνια υπήρξε ενεργό μέλος σε πολλούς φορείς Ψυχικής Υγείας. Έχει εκπαιδευτεί σε ξενώνες του Ψυχιατρικό Νοσοκομείου Αττικής (Ψ.Ν.Α) με χρονια πάσχοντες ασθενείς.

Την περίοδο της covid 19 συμμετείχε ενεργά και στελέχωνε την Γραμμή Ψυχοκοινωνικης Υποστήριξης για την πανδημια ενώ συμμετείχε σε πολλές δράσεις προαγωγής Ψυχικής Υγείας. Σπούδασε στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας Παντειου και έπειτα Παρακολούθησε πρόγραμμα ΜΠΣ στην Ιατρική Σχολή Αθηνών. Είναι μέλος της Ελληνικής Εταιρίας Γνωσιακής Συμπεριφορικης Θεραπείας.

Έχει μετεκπαιδευτεί στην ψυχοπαθολογία και στην Αναλυτική προσέγγιση Ομαδικής θεραπείας.

Πιστεύει πως η ομάδα μπορεί να αποτελέσει ένα ασφαλές πεδίο γέννησης του εαυτού μέσα από αλληλεπιδράσεις ανθρώπων που εντέλει δημιουργούν ένα όλον αποτελούμενο από πολλά "ολόκληρα" που συνθέτουν έναν χώρο θεραπείας και προαγωγής των σχέσεων με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους.

Kyriakoulis Iasonas is a psychoanalytically-oriented psychologist. His primary concern in therapy, beyond models and approaches, is to help individuals who seek his assistance cope with the challenges of their lives, whatever form these may take.

This commitment led him to volunteer with the "Synypaksi" network, where he provided psychological support sessions to the indigent for four years.
