Eleftheria Astrinaki

I am a licensed psychologist and certified yoga teacher currently based in Athens, Greece. After an academic and creative career in the US and New York University, I received my yoga teachers training in Dharamshala, India, and I now offer somatic psychotherapy that integrates yoga, mindfulness, and trauma-informed talk therapy. Drawing on my clinical training and deep understanding of the nervous system, I help clients reconnect with their inner resources, release patterns of tension, and cultivate a grounded sense of safety. My approach is relational, compassionate, and body-centered — designed to meet each person where they are. I have attended advanced trainings in trauma work, including a seminar with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, which deeply informs my practice. I work with individuals seeking to heal from trauma, anxiety, and deppression as well as those wishing to deepen self-awareness and embodied presence. In our sessions, we may combine gentle mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness techniques with integrative psychotherapy to support sustainable healing and growth.
