Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy, working with couples online. Imago therapy is built on the understanding that conflict in relationships is not a sign of failure — it's a doorway into deeper connection and growth. In our sessions, we slow down the patterns that keep couples stuck and create the conditions for partners to actually hear each other, often for the first time. The work is both rigorous and tender.

Esra Nihan Bridge
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My approach involves emotionally-focused couples therapy, which is one of the most empirically validated and effective therapies for improving distressed couple relationships. I can assist both you and your partner as you learn to understand each other, address old conflicts, move past hurts and betrayals, and increase your intimacy. I offer couple counseling for communication, conflict resolution, affair recovery, and rebuilding intimacy and trust.
19 Years Experience

Ankara is Turkey's capital and a major university city, home to several leading institutions including Middle East Technical University and Bilkent University, creating substantial demand for student counseling and young adult mental health services. As the seat of government and a hub for civil servants, diplomats, and public sector workers, the city has a more formal, institutional character than Istanbul, and its therapy culture is growing but relatively conservative. Private therapy practices are available across central districts, primarily in Turkish, with some English-language options catering to the diplomatic and international community. Common concerns among Ankara residents include work-related stress, academic pressure, and anxiety related to Turkey's ongoing political and economic climate.
