Welcome,

My name is Feride Yilmaz, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience supporting people who feel stuck in their lives or are facing complex challenges. I offer a warm and safe environment where we can work together to improve your well-being and quality of life.

Therapy is an inner journey — a process of rediscovering yourself, learning to set boundaries, and acting from your own values. When you reconnect with your core, you begin to experience calm, clarity, and a more authentic life. During the first session, we explore your needs and get to know each other. If your request falls within my area of expertise, we will schedule follow-up sessions. If it does not, I will gladly refer you to a trusted colleague.

Sometimes we carry thought patterns for years — patterns that once served a protective purpose but now tend to hold us back. These automatic thoughts are shaped by our experiences; they are learned responses. In therapy, we explore these patterns — not to judge them, but to understand them. We bring them from the unconscious into awareness, allowing light to be shed on them. That is the first moment of change. From there, we move toward feeling. We face the emotions we have tried to suppress for so long. Instead of pushing them away, we learn to feel them, name them, and give them space. Because emotions that go unacknowledged often return with greater force — as fatigue, sadness, or physical tension. These symptoms are often signals of emotions that are seeking recognition. In therapy, we create a safe space to experience and process these feelings. By acknowledging them, they lose their power over our daily lives. We work with what the body communicates — physical reactions, memories, and the thoughts connected to our emotions. Through this process, you embark on an inner journey where you rediscover and understand yourself. You remember who you are, learn to act according to your values, and set clear boundaries — with both gentleness and strength. When we live in alignment with our core, we find fulfillment, clarity, and inner peace.

Remember: so-called “negative” emotions are not wrong — they simply want to be seen and serve a purpose. They protect us and show us where something within us seeks to move.

Real change does not begin outside of us, but within.

Together, we explore your story, your needs, and your goals. Whether you are struggling with emotional pain, practical difficulties, or simply in need of a compassionate ear, I am here to support you on your path toward healing and personal growth.
