“Amidst the chaos of stress and anxiety, remember that finding your balance is not a race. Embrace each moment, take one mindful step at a time, and watch as clarity unfolds within you.” – Maria Zita
CV
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I am dedicated to inspiring positive change in the lives of my clients through a holistic approach. With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Canada, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the USA, I have built a solid foundation in mental health. I am also a Certified Hypnotherapist and a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, which enhances my ability to support individuals and organizations in achieving mental well-being and optimal performance.
My postgraduate research focused extensively on anxiety disorders, informing my specialization in treating a broad range of psychological issues, including Anxiety Disorders, Stress, PTSD, Panic Attacks, Depression and Phobias. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I integrate this evidence-based approach with mindfulness practices and hypnosis, providing comprehensive care tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including a university counseling center, a rehabilitation center, and community centers. I now maintain a private practice, offering personalized therapy to clients facing various psychological challenges.
In addition to my clinical work, I have advised several tech companies on building strategic alliances, utilizing psychological principles to enhance collaboration, team dynamics, and workplace innovation. My commitment to creating mindful workplaces and promoting mindful leadership is central to my approach, as I believe that fostering supportive environments is key to resilience and well-being.
As a member of the Greek Psychological Association, I am dedicated to integrating traditional psychological practices with innovative techniques. My goal is to empower individuals and organizations to thrive by cultivating mental well-being and optimal performance through a holistic lens.
