Our Center
The ARKESIS Mental Health Center takes its name from a deeply rooted Greek concept: help, support, and assistance - but also self-sufficiency, the inner strength that is nurtured through care.
We are inspired by the idea that support and care are among the most precious gifts we can offer ourselves. Psychotherapy is exactly that—a gift that opens the path to self-awareness, healing, and growth. In fact, psychotherapy is not just a “process” of healing; it is a profound act of self-care, an opportunity for discovery, acceptance, and growth.
Our Center combines psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches with systemic and group psychotherapy, couples therapy, parenting counseling, as well as specialized psychiatric support. Our team, consisting of experienced psychotherapists and psychiatrists, offers personalized care for adults, adolescents, and children. The Center’s scientific direction and philosophy are shaped by Melina Tzakou, Psychologist and Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, who holds a Master of Arts (MA) in Applied Developmental Psychology.
If you feel that the pressures of daily life, stress, relationship difficulties, or other challenges are negatively affecting your daily life and, as a result, your well-being, we are here to support you. Together, we can work through whatever is troubling you and find solutions that align with your needs and values.
What our patients say
Verified reviews from people who have used our services.
I went in with some reservations because I'd had many negative experiences in the past, and she was open to discussing all of my concerns
We've been having sessions for about a year now, and I'm very happy; I don't think I would have been able to achieve what I've achieved with her if I'd worked with another therapist.
She was simply very good and well-informed about cases like mine. Her approach was more direct and to the point compared to another experience I’d had in the past.
Even though the sessions are remote, I feel like I’m right there with Ms. Tzakou. She’s an amazing professional with a great personality.
I've seen several psychologists for my problem. She was the only one whose approach really helped me.
She respected my differences and fully understood my concerns. I'm sure that, in the end, I'll be glad I made this choice.
