Hello, I am Rumeysa Polat, I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling at UHV-Katy. My journey in this field includes internships at various centers in Turkey and at large hospitals such as Ankara University Hospital and Başkent University Hospital, where I gained extensive experience working with children and adults. After graduation, I worked as a psychologist at a rehabilitation center, where I applied my training in stress management and meditation to support individuals facing challenges such as cancer, women's health issues, and high-stress situations.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where you or your child can explore emotions and experiences at your own pace, without pressure or expectation. I work with individuals of all ages—children, teens, and adults—and offer a range of therapeutic approaches to best meet your needs.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging, especially when seeking someone who truly understands your or your child’s unique needs. It’s important to feel confident that you or your child are in a place where you can be seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. I am here to offer that support.

Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Whether you or your child are dealing with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or life transitions, I’m here to provide a safe and compassionate space where you can feel understood and supported.
