Your thoughts are going in circles, even your closest friends don\u2019t have a solution, and besides, you don\u2019t want to go around telling everyone about your problem: For anyone who needs someone to talk to and would like to get an \u201coutside\u201d perspective, there\u2019s been a new point of contact at Steinm\u00fchle since the start of the school year: Maria Sideraki. She\u2019s available to anyone who\u2019s stuck on an issue that\u2019s really weighing on their mind or that they\u2019d like to change. <\/em><\/p>\n

Support in various life situations can mean many things. A student feels bullied, parents are worried about their daughter\u2019s development, a teacher feels on the verge of burnout, an administrative staff member is struggling with a poor relationship with colleagues. \u2014 All of these examples are fictional. They are meant to illustrate just one thing: Anyone, regardless of their role within the Steinm\u00fchlen community, can take advantage of Maria Sideraki\u2019s services. Frank Wemme, the head of the lower secondary school, is aware of the prejudices that persist to this day: \u201cNo, you\u2019re not crazy just because you seek therapeutic help once in a while. There are many situations that can pull the rug out from under you. This could include the loss of a loved one due to separation or even death, or, for example, a medical diagnosis. The offer of counseling is there. You just have to accept it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Maria Sideraki has lived in Germany since she was 7 years old. Born in Athens, she initially lived in Kassel with her parents and siblings, attended high school there, and, after graduating from high school and completing a voluntary social service year, went on to study psychology and education in Marburg. \u201cThat was when I first came into contact with the Steinm\u00fchle,\u201d she recalls. At the time, she was living in the Bremerhaus. <\/p>\n

A few months after she graduated, her son was born. The two years of parental leave that followed are the only \u201cpersonal\u201d period in Maria Siderakis\u2019s life, which otherwise features an impressive range of professional activities in the fields of psychotherapy and education, complemented by a dozen or so internships, continuing education courses, and volunteer work. <\/p>\n

In summary, it can be said that the quadrilingual therapist (Greek, German, English, Arabic) has led many therapeutic interventions, provided support in many situations, and cared for many people over the years and decades\u2014regardless of their age or nationality. Notable examples include her work in the field of psychogeriatrics at a nursing home in Marburg, conducting literacy courses for young adults in Wetzlar, and leading training sessions for children and adolescents on ADHD and social skills at a pediatric practice in Giessen. Parents were also involved in some of these courses. Since 2015, Maria Sideraki has been working at a practice for psychiatry and psychotherapy in Giessen, conducting psychological testing and diagnostics. At the same time, she works at the Rh\u00f6n-Klinikum Gie\u00dfen-Marburg, Giessen campus, in the Center for Social Pediatrics\/Neuropediatrics. There, she specializes in educational and psychological assessment and therapy for children and adolescents and serves as the director of the Regulation Clinic. <\/p>\n
