I graduated from Bilkent University, Department of Psychology in 2016 with the title of honorary student. After my graduation, I took master's degree courses in clinical and developmental psychopathology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a support scholarship from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and a VUFP scholarship; then in the field of developmental psychology at Middle East Technical University.
I graduated from TED University, Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology (MSc.) master's program in 2019 and completed my clinical psychology specialization.
I completed my clinical internship for 1 year at GATA Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service. Simultaneously, I conducted psychotherapy sessions under supervision with children and their families at TED University Applied Psychology Unit.
Starting from recieving my expertise until the corona period bans, I provided psychotherapy and psychological evaluation services to children and their families in special education and rehabilitation services.
With the pandemic, my online psychotherapy adventure had started. During this period, I volunteered in the "TEDU COPeS" project, which was carried out to provide online psycho-social support to TED University students and employees.
In my academic studies, I examine the importance of memory and learning processes and their role in the etiology of child-adolescent psychopathologies. I continue my doctoral studies in the field of Psychology and Health at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) (Barcelona/Spain) on the rehabilitation of memory and learning processes of children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders through virtual reality (VR) technologies.
In February 2022, due to my scientific studies during my clinical psychology specialization, Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health "Prof. I was awarded with "Mualla Öztürk, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research Award".
I provide online and face-to-face psychotherapy and psychological evaluation services to children-adolescents (4-18 years old), young adults (18-25 years old) and parents. The schools of psychotherapy that I go through education/supervision processes and benefit from in my sessions are cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, short-term solution-oriented therapy, systematic family therapy and undirected play therapy.
I have been going through my own psychotherapy process by being in the consultant's chair since my undergraduate period. In addition, I am constantly improving myself by continuing my training and supervision processes in different psychotherapy schools.
We receive consultancy services from Ms. Aslı for both my daughter and myself. Although it hasn't been a long time, my daughter and I have noticeable changes. I have been looking forward to our meeting days since you came into our lives. I feel more relaxed. The advice he gives guides my life. Every meeting is very productive. I would like to thank her very, very much for listening to me patiently and helping me find solutions to the problems I have done in my life without realising it :)
I have been receiving psychotherapy from Ms. Aslı for about 2.5 years and it has given me very good gains in this process on how to better manage my own feelings and thoughts or how to better manage the moments of crisis in my life. In this process, I saw my change and started to be a more peaceful person with myself, and I believe that I will gain even more developments in the future. ☺️☺️☺️
We applied to Ms. Aslı for my 5-year-old son's tic problems. We received play therapy support for about 2 and a half months and we saw a lot of benefit. For a while, we were worried when it seemed to increase their tics, but we were relieved when Ms. Aslı informed us that this was an expected period in the healing process. Indeed, it gradually decreased after that rise, now it is very rare. We finished the process earlier than planned due to our travel situations at that time, but if we need it in the future, we will definitely apply again. We thank her very much for his patience, attention and professionalism. .
