Miss Ivana Hadjivanova

Psychologist-Psychotherapist

“Experienced mental health professional and founder of NEOCORTEX - Center for Psychotherapy, Psychodiagnostics, Training and Education ”

About Me

I offer a grounded and reflective space to explore your unique experiences and emotional challenges. Drawing on a Gestalt-informed approach, I focus on present-moment awareness and personal clarity, while a family-systemic perspective helps illuminate relational patterns shaping your life. When trauma is part of the process, I integrate EMDR as an evidence-based method to support the processing of distressing experiences and emotional regulation. Clients seeking an integrated and in-depth therapeutic approach often find a good fit here.

Approach

My therapeutic approach is integrative and grounded in present-moment work. I combine Gestalt-based awareness with a family-systemic understanding of relational patterns, and integrate EMDR when working with trauma or overwhelming experiences. Sessions are structured yet flexible, supporting clarity, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. This approach informs my work across individual, relational, group, and interactive organizational and corporate settings.
