Tuba Aktas
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Sometimes the hardest part is putting words to what you're going through. I meet you with curiosity and attunement to explore the heart of your struggle, and together we work to understand the needs and patterns shaping your life. I offer a collaborative, culturally attuned space for adolescents (12+) and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
I've worked across community, hospital, and private practice settings, supporting people through injury, crisis, and difficult life transitions. That experience has given me a grounded understanding of how these moments can affect not just how we feel, but how we see ourselves and connect with others. I've also worked closely alongside other healthcare providers, and I bring that same collaborative approach into our work together, staying attentive to the fuller picture of your life beyond our sessions.
We begin with a consultation phase, slowing down to thoughtfully explore your history and goals, so the approach we build together fits your needs. I draw on a relational, attachment-informed, and psychodynamic lens to help identify the patterns that keep you stuck and find clarity and agency.
Reaching out is a meaningful step, and you don't need to have the words yet, that's part of what we'll find together. My space is culturally attuned, respectful of your pace, and offered in English or Turkish. I'd be glad to connect.
