Antanas Mockus

I am a clinical psychologist. People come to me in deep sadness, loneliness, with little energy, and with a sense of meaninglessness, helplessness and hopelessness. I work with adults living with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, psychological crises and loss. I also consult relatives of people who are going through depression. I see clients in person in Vilnius and online across Lithuania and abroad.

I founded Depresijos įveikimo centras in 2016. Before that I had a private practice from 2008 to 2016. From 2007 to 2011 I worked at Trakai Mental Health Centre, where I also organised and led a psychoeducational group for people with depression. From 2008 to 2010 I was a junior researcher at the Psychiatry Clinic of Vilnius University. I have taught at university for more than seven years, at Mykolas Romeris University from 2010 to 2016 and at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University from 2015 to 2017.

I see myself as an active participant who helps look for a way out. I encourage you to explore yourself and I share what I notice about what gets in the way of change. I stay beside you with patience and hope in the darkest moments, while the way forward is still unclear. I also give talks on how to recognise and deal with depression.
