Dr. Damla Yildirim, PhD
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist
My practice is ideal for individuals looking for a culturally sensitive therapist while navigating mild to moderate emotional challenges—such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. I also work with people experiencing identity shifts, parenting struggles, cross-cultural adjustment, and emotion regulation issues. Depending on your needs, I offer both intensive short-term and weekly long-term therapy.
4 Years Experience
Online in Istanbul, Turkey (Online Only)
Istanbul's position as Turkey's largest city and cultural hub creates a unique mental health landscape shaped by rapid urbanization, political uncertainty, and economic volatility, all of which drive demand for anxiety-, stress-, and trauma-focused therapy. The city hosts a substantial Syrian refugee population alongside a growing expat community, and English-speaking therapists can be found primarily in the Beyoglu, Sisli, and Kadikoy neighborhoods. Therapy culture has grown significantly among younger, urban Istanbulites, though stigma remains a barrier for older generations and more conservative communities. Many private practices offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, making access feasible across the city's sprawling geography.
