My name is Mikela-Zoi Symeonidou.<\/p>

I am inspired by the inner worlds of people and by the desire to co-shape our stance toward life\u2014politically, aesthetically, and ethically.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I studied Psychology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and obtained my professional license in 2017 (File No PPI\/PKM\/26327\/624)<\/span>. My training in Systemic Therapy was completed at the Institute of Systemic Therapy in Thessaloniki, a program recognized by the European Association for Family Therapy (EFTA-TIC) and the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAPTI, EEPSE). I am a regular member of the Systemic Society of Northern Greece (SEVE) and a holder of the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP).<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Other life experiences have also significantly influenced my approach as a therapist. My studies in Dance provided a strong foundation for deepening my understanding of the embodied self in the psychotherapeutic process and fostered my particular interest in non-verbal communication within the therapeutic setting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

With sensitivity and respect for individuals, I take into account the psychosocial and cultural context and focus on fostering a sense of safety and co-creating our relationship within the therapeutic framework.
I orient my work towards the ongoing development of each individual\u2019s potential through their experiences and their interaction with the world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As part of my Psychology studies, I completed my internship at the Family Therapy Department of the Psychiatric Hospital of Thessaloniki (General Hospital \"Papanikolaou\"). There, I was a member of the reflecting team in psychotherapy sessions with couples and families, which was my first introduction to the principles of Systemic Therapy.\nBetween 2017 and 2024, I worked as a professional psychologist in Greece, specializing in the fields of addiction and family therapy, while also participating in research programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I collaborated with Special Therapy Centers (Logos & Work) in the Halkidiki community, providing Parent, Couple and Family Counseling services, as well as conducting individual and group sessions with children and adolescents. Lately I have been offering psychotherapy and counseling services in the community of Perea (Treat - Standard Center for Special Therapies).<\/span><\/p>
