Healing from Trauma with Trust, Science, and Compassion

Online trauma therapy combining EMDR and Brainspotting. Offered in Turkish, English, and Arabic.

Welcome. I’m Serin.

I am a trauma therapist and mental health counselor with more than twenty years of experience in humanitarian protection, psychosocial support, and trauma recovery. My professional journey began in the humanitarian field, working directly with individuals and communities affected by crisis, forced displacement, violence, and prolonged stress.

Today I bring this experience into my private practice. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, emotional overload, anxiety, grief, and chronic stress. My approach to therapy goes beyond managing symptoms; it aims to rebuild trust, connection, and a sense of self-efficacy at the level of both body and mind.

EMDR
