nice to meet you.
My name is Andriana Mitrakos, and I am a Greek-American psychologist in Athens, Greece.
I received my psychology degree from Northwestern University, and my master's in clinical cognitive neuropsychology from the Scientific College of Greece, with continuing studies from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
​
Before beginning my own practice, I worked as an admissions consultant for high school students at international schools around the globe. I coached them on school selection, self-branding, and story-telling, helping them develop their work ethic, communication skills, confidence, emotional intelligence, and wellbeing.
​
During my continued studies, I worked at senior care centers providing support to seniors struggling with geriatric depression and anxiety, and various forms of dementia. Additionally, I lead support groups for family members adjusting to changes in family dynamics - helping them plan family care, manage their new lifestyle, and prepare for the future.
​
Along the way, I have also worked with expats & digital nomads adjusting to life in Greece, as well as with entrepreneurs taking on new adventures, balancing work and life, and learning to avoid burnout.
​
I am a native English-speaker, also fluent in Greek, offering English-language therapy. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, with integrations of cognitive behavioural therapy and neuropsychological testing based on client needs.
​
I approach each individual with genuine curiosity, understanding, and an appreciation for their personal experiences - free of judgement - staying true to my purpose of providing a safe and supportive space for self-exploration and discovery.
​
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am also a filmmaker, sailor, and music lover appreciating the artistry and beauty in everyday life.
​
It is an honor to work with individuals through the exciting, sometimes uncomfortable, but ultimately hugely rewarding process of personal evolution. If you're interested in getting started with therapy, let's chat to see if we're a good fit!

some of my VALUES
EMBRACE
CHANGE
Change is what has allowed the world to exist as it does. It is what allows the most successful people to overcome the most difficult obstacles. Be open to change.
GROW FROM WITHIN
Everywhere you go, you bring yourself to the table. Your values, character, talents & thoughts. Understand & nurture the inside so you can be the best you on the outside.
BE
HUMAN
Humans are logical & emotional, social & independent. It is the unique balance each individual finds in these opposites that has allowed humans to evolve and thrive.
