Ο ιατρός Τσαμπίκος Σκουμπουρδής παρακολουθεί ασθενείς πριν το 1980. Έκανε διαφορετικές ειδικότητες και επέλεξε την ειδικότητα της ψυχιατρικής, ως την τέχνη που αντιμετωπίζει τον ασθενή στην ολότητά του και ως ύπαρξη μοναδική και ξεχωριστή (με τα ίδια συμπτώματα και με την ίδια διάγνωση, η θεραπεία είναι συνήθως διαφορετική και το αποτέλεσμα διαφορετικό).

Οι μέχρι τώρα δάσκαλοί του ήταν και είναι οι ίδιοι οι ασθενείς, που σε κάθε συνάντηση, μια διαφορετική πληροφορία, είναι μια διαφορετική κατανόηση της νοσηρότητας.

Η ιπποκράτεια αρχή, “ το προλαμβάνειν εστί χαλεπώτερον του θεραπεύειν’’, επιβεβαιώνεται απο την ίαση που επέρχεται χρονικά, όταν υπάρχει έγκυρη διάγνωση (μετράνε ακόμα και οι ώρες έναρξης της συμπτωματολογίας της διαταραχής, όταν προσέρχεται ο ασθενής) .

Μετά την ίαση, η θεραπεία ολοκληρώνεται, με την κοινωνική επανένταξη, την προνοιακή αποκατάσταση, την απομυθοποίηση της νόσου και τον αποστιγματισμό του ασθενούς και της οικογένειάς του. Η φροντίδα του ασθενούς είναι απαλλαγμένη απο τις δεσμεύσεις των ιατρικών πρωτοκόλλων,τα οποία νομιμοποιούν τις ιατρίκες πράξεις,προσφέροντας ασφάλεια στους ιατρούς και στους ασθενείς μια μακρόχρονη φαρμακευτική αγωγή.Αν και με την αύξηση της μεταβίσασης μειώνεται η ψυχοφαρμακολογία.

Στη γκάμα των υπηρεσιών του ιατρείου, περιλαμβάνονται η θεραπεία των ψυχικών διαταραχών (όπως κατάθλιψη, διπολική διαταραχή, χρόνιες ψυχώσεις, σχιζοσυναισθηματικές διαταραχές), η αντιμετώπιση αυτοάνοσων νοσημάτων (Νευρο- ενδοκρινολογική, Αιτιολογική αντιμετώπιση αυτοάνοσων συμπτωμάτων, που συνήθως είναι σε συννοσηρότητα με ψυχικές διαταρές, είτε ψυχικές εκδηλώσεις που ανήκουν στο σύνδρομο ανοσοανεπάρκειας), η θεραπεία απεξάρτησης ναρκωτικών ουσιών, η απεξάρτηση αλκοολισμού, η θεραπεία εγκεφαλοπάθειας και αυτισμού, η ψυχοθεραπεία (ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία ψυχαναλυτικού τύπου, με συμπληρωματική θεραπευτική των 12 ενεργειακών επιπέδων και προσωπικοτήτων, διαταραχές προσωπικότητας, διατροφής, ψυχοσωματικών εκδηλώσεων, διαχείριση πένθους και ψυχοπιεστικών καταστάσεων), η ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία και θεραπεία ενεργειακών επιπέδων. Τέλος, παρέχει νευροενδοκρινολογική αντιμετώπιση τοξικοεξάρτησης και ανοσοανεπάρκειας.

Στις συνεδρίες της θα βρεις ένα χώρο όπου μπορείς να μιλήσεις ανοιχτά, χωρίς φόβο ή κριτική και να βρεις τρόπους να ταιριάζουν σ' εσένα ώστε να αισθάνεσαι καλύτερα. Στόχος της είναι να φύγεις από κάθε συνεδρία νιώθοντας πιο δυνατός και με ξεκάθαρα εργαλεία που μπορείς να εφαρμόσεις στην καθημερινότητά σου και να αποκτήσεις μεγαλύτερη σιγουριά, ηρεμία και ισορροπία. Ενθαρρύνει με βαθιά πίστη τη δύναμη της ανθρώπινης σύνδεσης και την ικανότητα του κάθε ανθρώπου να αναπτυχθεί μέσα από την επίγνωση, την αποδοχή και τη φροντίδα του εαυτού του. Μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο, προσφέρει τον χώρο στον θεραπευόμενο να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, να διερευνήσει τα βιώματά του και να εργαστούν μαζί προς την κατεύθυνση της προσωπικής ενδυνάμωσης και εξέλιξής του. Η βάση της δουλειάς της στηρίζεται στη Συστημική Προσέγγιση, την οποία εμπλουτίζει με στοιχεία από άλλες μεθοδολογίες, ώστε να ανταποκρίνεται ουσιαστικά και ολοκληρωμένα στις ανάγκες των ανθρώπων που απευθύνονται σε εκείνη.

Στην πορεία της έχει συνοδεύσει ανθρώπους που αντιμετωπίζουν άγχος, στρες, συναισθηματική κόπωση, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές και ερωτικές σχέσεις, έλλειψη αυτοεκτίμησης και αυτοπεποίθησης, θλίψη, απώλεια, συναισθηματικά τραύματα, μεταβάσεις ζωής και υπαρξιακά ερωτήματα. Η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στη Συστημική Θεωρία, η οποία βλέπει το άτομο ως μέρος ενός ευρύτερου πλαισίου – της οικογένειας, των σχέσεων και των κοινωνικών του δικτύων. Μέσα από αυτό το πρίσμα, μαζί με τον θεραπευόμενο διερευνούν πώς οι σχέσεις και τα συστήματα στα οποία ανήκει επηρεάζουν τις σκέψεις, τα συναισθήματα και τις συμπεριφορές του. Πιστεύει ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι μια δυναμική και δημιουργική διαδρομή κατανόησης και αλλαγής, με στόχο την ενίσχυση της σύνδεσης, της επικοινωνίας και της εσωτερικής ισορροπίας. Απευθύνεται σε όποιον νιώθει την ανάγκη για αλλαγή, επιθυμεί να ακουστεί σε βάθος ή να συνδεθεί ουσιαστικά με τον εαυτό του, συνοδεύοντάς τον με σεβασμό και ενσυναίσθηση.

«Η αλλαγή ξεκινά από τη στιγμή που αποφασίζεις να σε ακούσεις.»
