Dr. Tzotzoli is the Director of My Psychology Clinic, where she offers one-to-one therapy sessions to a select clientele. Her special interests include life transitions, resilience, loneliness ,self-regulation, personal development, efficiency, authenticity as well as entrepreneurial stress and leadership development.
Dr Tzotzoli imagines a world where we understand and openly embrace mental health in our lives because our relationship with our mental health determines the quality of our lives and those of others. She is therefore passionate about raising awareness of mental health and destigmatizing seeking help. She strongly believes that looking after our mental health is not an entitlement but both our responsibility and our right, and that it is a fundamental prerequisite for building healthy, functional adults and, in turn, a healthy society. Therefore, Dr Tzotzoli loves working with clients in her private practice who choose to take on this challenge for themselves, and she accompanies them throughout the journey.
