Amal Abdulcebbar, M.A.

“CDA-Licensed Psychologist”

Amal is a CDA-licensed psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Koç University (Istanbul, Türkiye). She has three years of experience working with adults (18+) using a client-centered approach in her therapy practice. She offers a compassionate and non-judgmental space for individuals to share, reflect, and grow. Amal values individual autonomy, respect, collaboration, and commitment as she guides clients toward sustainable change and meaningful living.

You are invited on a guided journey toward self-discovery, where you will have the space to reflect on whether your current way of living truly aligns with what matters most to you. With openness and curiosity, we will explore the behaviors, self-beliefs, and daily patterns that may be keeping you stuck. At your own pace, you will build your “life compass” – a clear sense of direction that helps you move toward a more flexible and meaningful way of living, one that makes room for the full range of thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe meaningful change happens through small, consistent steps taken with intention and self-compassion.
