A safe space for personal unfolding that starts with a simple suggestion: “Say whatever comes into your mind”.
It does not necessarily entail a strenuous effort, but rather a process than can be joyful, creative and even revealing, regardless of the numbers of sessions.
A process for individuals or groups working in highly demanding or stressful environments; a creative outlet…
Sometimes it is useful to consider the possibility of a medication regimen.
Medical Treatment requires knowledge, staying up to date, and guidance taking place in a shared decision-making process.
The sessions are held in Greek, Italian, and English.
