Hello! I am Psychologist Lisya Kaspi. After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Koç University with high honors, I pursued my master's degree at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

However, if you require advice or short-term consultation, I offer single-session consultancy services. I commend you for investing in yourself and taking this step forward!
