Hello, prospective client, I'm Clinical Psychologist Batuhan Uğraş. Welcome to the journey of self-discovery and healing. Therapy is an adventure of rediscovery, exploration, and self-realization, and I commend you for taking this important step. As your companion on this journey, I'm here to support you without judgment and help you navigate through your personal exploration. In our sessions, I integrate approaches from Schema Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Schemas, formed during childhood, shape our perceptions and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. While some schemas are positive and adaptive, others may be negative and maladaptive, leading to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression, as well as challenges in relationships. In our journey together, we'll work to identify and understand your maladaptive schemas, empowering you to overcome their negative influence on your life. Through exploration and intervention, we'll address these schemas and develop healthier, more adaptive beliefs and behaviors. In terms of my background, I completed my undergraduate studies at Başkent University, Department of Psychology, and earned my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Atılım University. I received specialized training in Schema Therapy, Short-Term Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Rational Affective Cognitive Therapy (REBT). Additionally, I completed training in Couple, Family, and Group Therapy. During my professional journey, I've gained experience in various settings, including clinical practice, supervision, and research, allowing me to work effectively with clients dealing with depression, OCD, personality disorders, anxiety, sexual issues, and relationship problems. I'm committed to providing individualized, evidence-based treatment tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore, heal, and grow. I'm eager to embark on this journey with you and support you in your path to healing and personal growth.

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.
