About Dr. Vasiliki Gkika

A compassionate clinical psychologist dedicated to helping you achieve mental wellness and personal growth through evidence-based therapy.

My Journey in Psychology

My passion for psychology began during my undergraduate studies, where I was fascinated by the human mind and the resilience of the human spirit. This curiosity led me to pursue advanced degrees in clinical psychology, where I discovered my calling to help others navigate life's most challenging moments.

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with their unique stories and challenges. This experience has taught me that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, but rather a collaborative journey tailored to each person's needs and goals.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and my role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we can work towards understanding, healing, and ultimately, thriving.
