Over Haris Mavrokefalos

From a young age I started to realize how your personality gets formed by the family dynamics that you grow up in. Being always curious about relationships and what other people think, I studied Psychology. This way I am able to help people see other perspectives and get a better understanding of themselves.

Throughout my career I have worked in different settings, with a variety of clients; from a psychiatric clinic in Greece to a center for autism in the Netherlands. I have also worked in schools supporting children, parents and teachers. Because working with adults have always been my passion, I have opened my own clinic in Leiden.

In my private life I really enjoy sports. I am a big fan of triathlon and I also play pingpong. I am also very interested in environmental awareness and I take part in social actions like city or beach cleanings.

I will encourage you to take action on your own life and the choices you make.

First session

During our first meeting the goal is to get to know each other; to create a therapeutic relationship. Also, I want to identify the reason that you asked for professional support and what you’re struggling with. It is very important for both of us to specify the issue and create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

During the first session I often use motivational interviewing; this is an approach that is designed to help people find the motivation to make a positive behavior change. This approach is very effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior.

Therapy

I have a lot of experience with complex cases, where comorbidity is present. I have the most experience in issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, personality disorder and complex trauma.

During the sessions I work a lot with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that focuses more on thought patterns and how they affect the emotions and behaviors of each individual. I use this in combination with psychodynamic and schema therapy, that both aim to uncover the deeper layers of your mental state; such as traumas, personality or family issues. For me each client is unique. Because of that I adjust the techniques I use to the person in front of me.

Als je met mij aan de slag gaat, is het fijn om van tevoren te weten hoeveel een afspraak kost. Dit ligt aan hoelang je afspraak is. Voor een korte afspraak van 45-60 minuten betaal je 98 euro en voor een lange afspraak van 75-90 minuten betaal je 145,50 euro. Je betaalt per afspraak. Op de pagina 'kosten psycholoog' staan alle prijzen op een rijtje.

Vergoeding

Er zijn meerdere manieren om je afspraken bij mij vergoed te krijgen: via je werkgever of in sommige gevallen via je aanvullende zorgverzekering. Vanuit de basisverzekering krijg je via Psyned geen vergoeding.

Klikgarantie

Tijdens de afspraken vertel je vaak persoonlijke en kwetsbare dingen. Het is daarom ontzettend belangrijk dat je een klik voelt en mij hiervoor genoeg vertrouwt. Daarom werken we vanuit Psyned met de klikgarantie. Klopt het gevoel voor jou niet? Dan gaan we samen op zoek naar een nieuwe psycholoog en betalen wij het eerste intakegesprek.
