Dr. Levent Kurt

I have a background in clinical psychology and training in various therapy modelities like systemic family therapy, cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), Metacognitive Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution focused therapy, I have an integrative approach based on the needs of the clients. While working with couples, I invite both partners to the first initial session to understand the needs and expectations of couples. After that I arrange individual sessions for each partner. During the therapy process some sessions are arranged for both partners and some sessions for each individuals. This way, both partners get a chance to explore what’s going on for them individually and together as a couple. My approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of individuals within their social and familial contexts, recognizing the importance of systemic dynamics in understanding and addressing psychological concerns. Through compassionate inquiry and skillful interventions, I assist clients in navigating life's challenges, fostering resilience, and promoting meaningful change. Collaboration with clients is at the center of my practice. My work is primarily based on exploring and improving the functioning of your cognitions, perceptions, emotions and behaviors in order to provide psychological flexibility, resilience and well-being. Let's work together to create a path toward greater well-being and fulfillment. I offer 20 minutes of free initial session to understand your needs and expectations and evaluate if my approach is a good fit for you.
