Adolescent Psychological Support & Counseling
Adolescence is one of the most important and demanding stages in human development. It is the period of searching for identity, new roles, life decisions (such as choosing a career and national exams), but also the phase where intense problems of self-confidence, social anxiety and body image often arise.
According to international research, mental health problems in adolescents and young adults (16-24 years old) have shown a sharp increase in recent years, with anxiety and low mood dominating their daily lives.

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Helps in AdolescenceAdolescents rarely respond to therapy that relies solely on vague discussions or passive analysis of the past. They need an ally who speaks their language, respects their autonomy, and treats them as equals.
As a CBT psychologist, I use a structured, practical, and directive approach. Through our collaboration, the adolescent learns:

• To recognize and deconstruct automatic negative thoughts that sabotage self-confidence.

• To manage school and exam anxiety through practical goal-setting and time-management tools.

• To develop assertive behavior, setting healthy boundaries in relationships with peers and family.

• To overcome isolation mechanisms and reactivate (Behavioral Activation) against symptoms of depression.

Online Psychotherapy for Teenagers & ExpatsTechnology is the natural environment of adolescents. This is why online psychotherapy proves to be extremely effective in this age group. The teenager feels the safety of his own space, which helps him to open up more quickly and authentically.
I offer specialized in-person sessions in my office in Athens, as well as remotely for adolescents and young adults throughout Greece. Particular emphasis is placed on Greek expats (immigrants) living with their families in European Union countries, as adolescents abroad often face the double pressure of adapting to a foreign school and social environment, and therapy in their native language is crucial.
