Hello, I am Clinical Psychologist Hatice. As a professional dedicated to contributing to a more balanced and fulfilling life for individuals in the field of mental health, I strive to continuously improve myself and be of service to society. After completing my undergraduate studies in Guidance and Psychological Counseling at Uludağ University, I successfully earned my master’s degree with a thesis in Clinical Psychology at Haliç University. I believe mental health plays a crucial role in individual growth and societal relationships. With this awareness, I aim to support individuals in both adult and child psychotherapy using various therapeutic approaches. In adult therapy, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy frameworks. These approaches help my clients develop effective and sustainable solutions to their challenges, focusing on transforming thoughts and behaviors. Adult psychotherapy is a vital process that enables individuals to better understand themselves and establish emotional and cognitive balance. During this journey, I assist individuals in recognizing their difficulties and developing practical solutions. In child psychotherapy, I emphasize the importance of play therapy in supporting children’s emotional development and helping them process their traumas or challenges through the language of play. As the most natural communication tool for children, play is a powerful method for uncovering their feelings and thoughts. Additionally, I value providing parental guidance to strengthen family relationships and help parents support their children’s psychological development in the best way possible. The greatest motivation in my professional journey is to positively impact my clients’ lives and support them in building a stronger inner balance. Believing in the uniqueness of every individual, I uphold empathy, respect, and scientific approaches as my guiding principles in assisting those I work with.

For 10 years, the awareness that each of my clients is unique has allowed me to establish a secure and sustainable connection with a philosophy tailored to the individual. I deeply believe in the HEALING POWER of SUPPORTIVE, COMPASSIONATE, and NURTURING COMMUNICATION with my clients. Since 2014, I have been actively working with clients in private and public hospitals, schools, and various colleges. My areas of expertise include child and adolescent therapy, individual therapy, couple and family therapy, and sex therapy. Together with my clients, we have achieved successful outcomes in many areas such as anger management, panic attacks, coping with trauma, sexual issues, infidelity, and addictions. My hobbies include painting and poetry, as I see art as the shortest path to impactful expression. I am a mother to a son, and I can confidently say that being a mother is the best decision I have ever made in my life. I have a deep love for animals and believe in the healing power of their companionship. My "box of dreams" is never empty. I feel incredibly lucky to be a psychologist. For as long as I live, I will continue to love my profession, motherhood, animals, poetry, and chasing my dreams.

Access to a therapist was not easy for me due to my location. This application was a great convenience for me. Also, the ability to receive therapy at the environment I want, eliminates the possibility of breaking the therapy process in the middle, because it is already difficult for me to gather myself and go to therapy at times. Terappin was a good choice for me in this regard. Many thanks to Terappin.
