Description |
In my practice, I help people to approach challenges and dilemmas in their life according to what they believe is important. But to find out what one values might require not only a lot of inquiry into self but also into the nature of the world and reality. The challenges we face in our lives are what get us to see that this process of inquiry is needed, even if it is not a simple one. With persistence, further insight is always reached. The famous Greek marketplace philosopher Socrates once said, "Ὁ δ' ἀνεξέταστος βίος οὐ βιωτὸς ἀνθρώπῳ" which may be translated as "The unexamined life is unlivable to a human being." In the philosophical counseling community, we also say “Do not waste a good crisis”. In addition to helping people in exploring beliefs and values in general, I am also focused specifically on helping individuals facing burnout or who are dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome or other chronic illness. I have had experience of these challenges myself, and believe that a stronger level of personal integration can help towards healing from them. To my counseling work, I bring my training in political philosophy, in which I completed a master's at the University of Chicago and later taught courses as an advanced graduate student. I have also been trained in conflict mediation (at the New York Peace Institute and Manousso Mediation) and have served as mediator for the Small Claims Court of New York City. I started my counseling practice, Eudaimon Counseling LLC, in New York City in 2019. During the corona-years, I moved my practice to Athens, Greece, where I continue to provide counseling both in real life and online. |
