Terappin's Therapists in LGBT+ Specialty

Hello, I am Clinical Psychologist Ece Aydın. I graduated from Istanbul Bilgi University Psychology Department with honors in 2021. I started the Clinical Psychology master's program at Istanbul Kent University in 2022. I am currently in the thesis phase of my master's degree. While continuing my university education, I did my internship at Sima Psychology, Yorum Psychological Counseling and French Lape Hospital. It is my priority that the therapy I apply is evidence-based. For this reason, I work with the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy school. In 2021, along with my education at Kent University, I received CBT training from the KDTD Association and DATEM. I received eating disorder training from Feyza Bayraktar and learned the metacognitive therapy school from Anıl Gündüz. There is no end to training in our field, that's why I still continue my training. My main goal in my sessions is that where we start and where we finish is different. I aim for my clients to be their own therapists as a result of the therapy they receive. In this way, they will be able to adapt what they learn in therapy to their future lives and their standard of living will increase.

I was born in Izmir on 5.2.1981. After graduating from Bozüyük Anatolian High School, I graduated with High Honor from the Near East University (English) Psychology Department in Cyprus in 2006 with a full scholarship, receiving the title of Psychologist.

I also received my Psychotherapy Competency Certificate from Istanbul Kent. I have E-Government approved, Solution Focused Therapy, Family Counselling, Couples Therapy, Sexual Therapy and Family Constellation Practitioner Certificates from the University.

English version below; I am currently studying for a master's degree in Clinical Psychosexology at the La Sapienza University of Rome, which combines psychological and medical disciplines such as psychosexology, clinical psychology, evolutionary psychopathology and medical sexology. I completed my undergraduate education in the 'Psychological Science' program of the University of Padova. During my education, I worked as a Research Assistant in the field of parenting psychobiology within the Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialization. This experience gave me a strong foundation in understanding the complex dynamics of parent-child relationships and their impact on psychological development. I also completed my thesis in the same department, focusing on the psychological aspects of being a third culture individual. Specifically, I explored the consequences of multicultural identity in terms of mental health and interpersonal relationships. Having grown up in multiple countries myself, I deeply empathize with the challenges faced by immigrants and individuals navigating multicultural situations every day. My approach to counseling is based on the biopsychosocial-cultural model, which recognizes the complex interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors in shaping an individual's well-being. I believe in integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities and have the foundations of cognitive-behavioral and systemic approaches. My goal as a psychologist is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your concerns, develop self-awareness, and work towards positive change. I'm here to support you on your personal development journey, helping you build resilience, improve your well-being, and develop fulfilling relationships. ———— I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Psychosexology at the Sapienza University of Rome, which integrates psychological and medical disciplines such as psycho-sexology, clinical psychology, evolutionary psychopathology and medical sexology.
