The Kentro Symfyia - Sakalidi Ioanna is located in Ano Patissia. The philosophy of "Symfyia," as its name suggests, symbolizes healing through the union and synthesis of the self, emphasizing the idea of integration and harmonious coexistence. The name of our psychotherapeutic center reflects the inspiration behind its creation—the process by which two or more entities/ideas closely unite in a way that they become inseparable and function as a single harmonious whole. Embodying these ideas, the center follows the Synthetic Psychotherapeutic approach both individually and in groups. Its purpose is to provide support to individuals so that they can address issues that concern them, such as anxiety management, crisis intervention, interpersonal relationships, self-improvement, personal development, and emotional conflicts. This approach is based on the relationship developed between therapist and client, which, to be effective and creative, must be well-defined, involve warmth and responsiveness, and take place in an atmosphere of acceptance and trust, where free expression of emotions is encouraged.

Saracini Raffaello MSc is a Mental Health Consultant - Psychotherapist with a private practice in Ano Patissia. Rather than viewing personal struggles as "disorders" or signs of illness, he perceives them as natural responses to the complex realities of life. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties are not character flaws or mental "defects"—they are deeply human reactions to uncertainties, losses, and emotional challenges that we all face. In his approach, challenges are not pathologized. Instead, they are regarded as opportunities for growth, self-awareness, and transformation. Existential therapy, for example, looks beyond symptoms to explore deeper questions about the purpose of your life, your values, and how you navigate freedom and responsibility. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you reconnect with and process the emotions underlying your experience. Mindfulness offers tools to observe and accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment, while the Flash technique gently works to release emotional pain without labeling your experience as "wrong." The goal of therapy is to help you embrace your unique journey, understand your struggles as part of life's complexity, and find ways to live more fully, with greater meaning and emotional balance.
