ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
At the core of my beliefs lies the profound understanding that true societal well-being and achievement are rooted in the strength of each individual. My mission is to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where you can uncover your innate abilities and craft your unique narrative. I firmly believe that as you harness your personal power, you not only transform your own life but also positively impact the world around you. This ripple effect, reminiscent of the butterfly effect, underscores the interconnectedness of our actions and their far-reaching consequences. It is this profound interconnectedness that fuels my passion for my work as a clinical psychologist. If you are ready to embark on a path of self-empowerment and growth, I invite you to take the first step and reach out to me. Together, we can unlock your potential and create lasting change in your life and the world beyond.

"Along with my exam stress, I couldn't help but think about past events and ongoing issues.
Meeting Seyma Onder turned out to be my greatest fortune. Since starting therapy, the things that used to overwhelm me have decreased to the point where I can say there are hardly any.
One might think that some things are insurmountable, but after starting therapy, I realized that it's very much possible.
Even though I still face challenges, I've learned to cope with them and I've changed my perspective, which has been very beneficial for me. Thanks to therapy, I managed my exam process very well.
Starting therapy was one of the best steps I took for my transformation."

"About 11 months ago, I suffered such a deep wound that I thought I died. I constantly searched for faults within myself. Like every woman, I initially blamed myself. Looking at the situation from a rational perspective, there were certainly mistakes made in the relationship, but the most important thing was that I wasn't the sole reason for those mistakes. And most importantly, problems in relationships couldn't be resolved by ending them through infidelity.
I started the therapy process. I was so determined to heal that I made the best investment in myself without skipping a single session.
Upon the decision of my dear psychologist, we concluded the therapy process. Her door is always open to me when I need it. :) Even though we may stumble as adults, as we face our pain and share it with those we trust, we see it pass while they accompany us with their conscience..."

"Before starting therapy, my biggest hesitation was accepting that I needed therapy. Because people around me would come to me to talk about an event and seek help, or consult about a subject. So, I couldn't accept not being able to solve my own problems, so to speak, not being self-sufficient. Moreover, I'm not someone who can easily talk to anyone about anything.
My reservations about getting therapy persisted because psychological damages, unlike physical ones, don't give the impression that they need treatment. After chatting with Mrs. Şeyma, I still couldn't muster the courage, so I started therapy a month after our first meeting.
I understood myself, my behaviors, and the reasons behind my reactions. I can confidently say that starting therapy was the best decision I've made in my life. Now, the only negative thought I have about myself is why I started therapy late and did this injustice to myself. 😂"
