Not really. I meant it to be an hyphen. It might not be very common in English, but it certainly is possible and grammatical (for an example of an hyphen joining two adjectives in a similar fashion think of "Greco-Roman wrestling").
The Italian term conveys the idea that this type of Psychotherapy combines these two aspects, otherwise it would use a conjunction instead of an hyphen.
I hope this helps.

Do you see that in the Italian term the first adjective ends in "o" instead of "a"? That clearly indicates that the two adjectives are a unit and not two separate attributes of the preceeding noun. I hope my point is clear now. I am just trying to be helpful :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I don't know what your hyphen is for. Is this to replace "and"?

Asker: English does not hyphenate two adjectives together.

Asker: "Greco" is a natural prefix, the adjective is always "Greek"

Asker: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/combining%20form

Asker: I was not disputing the meaning in Italian. I am just saying that two hyphenated adjectives is not a very English construction, and often looks odd to the English eye, and that "Greco" is not an adjective anyway, its a prefix, whereas "phenomenological" is not a prefix.

Reference: Lack of consensus on how to join the two words in Italian

Reference information:
The school's website (it seems to be the only school of it's kind) varies between no punctuation in the banner a the top, 'e' in the address at the bottom, and a hyphenation on their facebook page.

The second link gives a bit of background on their approach.
