Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
I am a Creative Arts Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist (RDT), Board-Certified Trainer (BCT), supervisor, and Founder & Director of the Creative Arts Therapy Center, with 25 years of international clinical experience across Canada, Türkiye, and Spain.
My approach is humanistic, creative, and result-oriented, with a strong focus on meaningful and lasting change. I believe therapy is not only about reducing symptoms—it can also be a journey toward reconnecting with who we truly are.
Over the years, I have supported children, adolescents, and adults through trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and experiences that can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves.
Creative Arts Therapy allows us to go beyond words when words alone are not enough. Through creativity, imagination, movement, storytelling, role work, and meaningful conversation, therapy can open new ways of understanding ourselves and relating to our experiences.
My aim is to create a warm, respectful, and collaborative space where you can explore what has shaped you, discover new possibilities, and move toward a more authentic way of living.
