Η Μυρσίνη Κατράνη είναι Ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος (Α.Π. 14264, 30/09/2020) απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών (ΕΚΠΑ) και κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου στην Ιατρική Ψυχολογία και Ψυχολογία Υγείας (MSc in Medical & Health Psychology) από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Leiden στην Ολλανδία. Είναι ειδικευόμενη στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Εκπαίδευσης & Έρευνας «Λόγω Ψυχής», ενώ παράλληλα έχει παρακολουθήσει επιπλέον εκπαίδευση στην Κλινική Ψυχοπαθολογία, καθώς και εξειδικευμένα σεμινάρια σχετικά με τα όνειρα, την αφήγηση στη θεραπεία και την ψυχοσωματική υγεία. Επιπροσθέτως, έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη χορήγηση και ερμηνεία ψυχομετρικών δοκιμασιών, όπως τα τεστ προσωπικότητας MMPI-2 και τα τεστ νοημοσύνης WAIS-IV και WISC-V.

Στο πλαίσιο της επαγγελματικής της πορείας έχει εργαστεί σε διαφορετικά πλαίσια ψυχικής υγείας, τόσο με ενήλικες όσο και με εφήβους. Στο παρόν εργάζεται ως Ψυχολόγος στην Ψυχιατρική Κλινική του Γενικού Νοσοκομείου Αθηνών «Γ. Γεννηματάς», όπου ασχολείται με την ψυχοδιαγνωστική αξιολόγηση, την ατομική και ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία και τη διασυνδετική ψυχιατρική. Παράλληλα, εργάζεται και στον Ξενώνα Βραχείας Παραμονής του ίδιου νοσοκομείου, με αντικείμενο την ψυχοκοινωνική αποκατάσταση και την επανένταξη ατόμων με ψυχικές διαταραχές, παρέχοντας ατομική και ομαδική θεραπεία, καθώς και υποστήριξη οικογενειών.

Η κλινική της κατάρτιση έχει ενισχυθεί μέσα από την παρουσία της σε ποικίλα θεραπευτικά και υποστηρικτικά πλαίσια, όπως το Παιδοψυχιατρικό Κέντρο Ψυχικής Υγιεινής του Ι.Κ.Α., η Κοινωνική Υπηρεσία του Δήμου Ηλιούπολης και ο Σύνδεσμος Θεραπευτικής Ιππασίας Ελλάδας (ΣΘΙΕ).

Παράλληλα, δίνεται έμφαση στην αναγνώριση των δυνατών σημείων και των πόρων που ήδη διαθέτει ώστε η θεραπεία να μην επικεντρώνεται μόνο στη δυσκολία ή στο σύμπτωμα, αλλά και στην ανάπτυξη νέων τρόπων αντιμετώπισης, στην ενίσχυση της αυτονομίας και της εμπιστοσύνης στις δυνατότητές του, στη βελτίωση των σχέσεων και στη δημιουργία μιας ζωής με περισσότερο νόημα και προσωπική κατεύθυνση.
