About me

I’m Zeliha Stefanie Roesler, a psychologist (MSc) based in Amsterdam with several years of clinical experience. I offer therapy in English and Turkish, and I work mostly with international clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, trauma, and major life changes. Having a multicultural background myself, I understand how complex it can be to feel at home in more than one culture. In therapy, I try to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be real. A place where we can slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and make sense of personal patterns. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which means I believe lasting change starts with deep understanding—of how past experiences shape your present. I also use EMDR when working with trauma and painful memories, to help you process what feels stuck and find relief. I also use these approaches as part of psychedelic integration work, supporting individuals in making sense of and grounding insights from psychedelic experiences into everyday life. Integration sessions focus on meaning-making, emotional processing, and translating experiences into lasting change using psychodynamic understanding.

Whether you're struggling, feeling lost, or simply curious to understand yourself better, you're welcome here—just as you are.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding. I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, which means we’ll explore not only the current challenges, but also the deeper emotional patterns and past experiences that may be influencing how you feel, think, and relate to others today. I see therapy as a space where we can explore your inner world together with curiosity. In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I am trained in EMDR, which I use when working with trauma and painful memories. Depending on the needs, I may also integrate elements from body-oriented approaches, schema therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques—all of which I am trained in. I tailor my work to each individual, aiming to create a therapeutic process that feels supportive and meaningful. I also use these approaches as part of psychedelic integration work, supporting individuals in making sense of and grounding insights from psychedelic experiences into everyday life. Integration sessions focus on meaning-making, emotional processing, and translating experiences into lasting change using psychodynamic understanding.

Experience

I have over 4 years of professional experience working as a clinical psychologist in diverse settings, primarily supporting adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Most recently, I worked in a practice in Amsterdam providing individual therapy to the international community living in the city. This experience has deepened my ability to offer culturally sensitive and personalized care to clients from diverse backgrounds. Prior to this, I worked at a psychedelic-assisted therapy clinic, where I gained valuable experience preparing clients for psychedelic sessions and helping them integrate insights from these experiences into their ongoing psychotherapy.

Education

I hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Psychology from Utrecht University, where I specialized in clinical psychology with a focus on evidence-based therapies. During my master’s, I trained in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and loss. Additionally, I have received specialized training in EMDR, schema therapy, mindfulness, and body-oriented approaches to further enhance my therapeutic practice.
