Biography Mike Pilavios, MA Psychologist
Psychologist for Adolescents and Adults
Hi, I'm Mike Pilavios.
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist from Athens, specializing in adolescents. I have a private practice where I work with adolescents and adults in individual sessions, while also working as a psychologist at the Mind Balance Psychotherapy Center.
I have a master's degree in Process Oriented Psychology from the Process Work Institute in Portland, USA, and a degree in Psychology from Newcastle University in the UK. I completed my clinical training through the River's Way Clinic in Portland, USA, and then continued to work there for another two years as a psychotherapist.
I am a member of the International Association of Process-Oriented Psychology (IAPOP) and Process Work Greece.
How I got here
From the age of 15, I explored this magical world of self-awareness and growth through psychotherapy and by trying out various types of seminars and workshops. Since then, I have loved this journey, as it has improved my life. I now see how working on ourselves is reflected in our external reality. This realization made me understand how important and powerful this journey is!
We are creators in this life and we can create what we truly want by looking within ourselves and becoming more aware of our hidden and unconscious parts. We try to find everything outside of ourselves, when the truth is that all the treasures, everything we ever wanted, simply reside within us, waiting for us to see them!
Whatever inspires me
For many years now, I have been attracted to and have studied seminars on Systemic Representation, WIYS, psychological trauma processing, Carl Jung's psychology, Relationships (and Couples), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Body-Centered Psychotherapy.
In addition, I read and study Carl Jung's psychology, mythology, archetypes, and spirituality.
Who I am and all my experiences mentioned above reflect the way I work with people.
