ATANAS TANNOUS
Psychologist (MA),
PhD (Clinical Psychology and Addictology) Candidate,
ASSYST-I and ASSYST-G Provider
My name is Atanas Tannous, from Palestine. I acquired my BA in Psychology and Biology at Tel Aviv University, after which I moved to Budapest to obtain my Psychology MA (specialized in Clinical and Health Psychology) at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in clinical psychology and addictology at the psychology department of ELTE, where I also manage the Adapting Minds lab conducting research on self-regulation, mindfulness, and inhibitory control.
My research interests and professional focus ares on executive functioning, behavioral addictions, trauma-informed therapies, ADHD, anxiety and depression. I received my certificate in MDMA-Assisted psychotherapy from the multidisciplinary association for psychedelic studies (MAPS) where I trained to employ a non-directive approach that relies on one's inner healing wisdom which is facilitated by the medicine. (Please note that in accordance with the Hungarian regulations I’m not able to provide MDMA-Assisted psychotherapy, only its psychological components as psychological consultation, without medicine).
Through my work with people of color and marginalized communities, I hope to provide a safe container and a culturally informed approach to their lived experience which I believe to be a vital component for healing. I believe that having an unbiased listening ear, providing reflective insight and introspection can help facilitate personal growth and an innate ability to tap into unprocessed maladaptive schemas and allow for healthy integration.
I can offer my assistance relating to stress, traumatic experiences, anxiety, harmful habits, low mood and mood-swings, concentration issues, emotional-behavioral and cognitive self-regulation.
I look forward to working with international students, expats and immigrants who seek English or Arabic speaking, non-medical service providers.
