Hello, I'm Gamze, a counselor based in Istanbul. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychological Counseling and Guidance in 2014, followed by a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology in 2019.

‍

My professional journey began at an international school in Istanbul. Later, I gained experience through internship programs at psychiatry hospitals, providing counseling and psychoeducation services. After finishing my Master’s program, I transitioned to various counseling roles within mental health clinics across Istanbul.

‍

I took on the responsibility of a training coordinator at a mental health clinic, where I organized and conducted training sessions for mental health professionals. I also worked as a translator, focusing on translating psychological texts. In 2023, I contributed to translating a book on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy from English to Turkish.

‍

My professional focus centers on assisting adults coping with conditions related to anxiety, anger management, sleep issues, family matters, burnout, and stress management. Additionally, I have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients.

‍

Residing in a vibrant city with a diverse population has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from various cultural backgrounds. I am deeply committed to providing inclusive support that acknowledges and respects the diverse cultural backgrounds of international clients. This commitment shapes my approach to addressing the unique challenges encountered by each person I work with.

‍

I am from Turkey and I am fluent in both Turkish and English.

Hi, I’m Genevieve!

‍

I’m an occupational therapist with a passion for supporting health and wellness. Fostering positive development for children and youth has been a meaningful professional focus since 2013, whether in community-based, clinical, inpatient, or school-based settings.

‍

I have expertise working together with clients and caregivers to foster development of social-emotional learning, insight, regulation, and sensory/motor skills, addressing the whole person. I co-developed a client-centered, occupation-based dynamic assessment tool in response to client needs, which evaluates occupational performance skills in relation to transitions. I have presented for and collaborated with multidisciplinary colleagues and firmly believe in implementing evidence in intervention, having coordinated my own research efforts to ensure best practice in my work. Since moving to Hamburg in 2018, my focus has shifted to working as a member of the international community, building empathy and resilience.

‍

I am trained in trauma-informed practices, mindfulness techniques, cultivating emotional balance, motivational interviewing, and stress & resiliency in youth. I hold a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Boston University and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and Public Relations from Eastern Illinois University. I have earned my recognition to work as an Ergotherapeutin in Germany. I am a registered yoga teacher and developed and founded my own consultancy, offering yoga and mindfulness workshops for youth.

‍

I’m from the United States and speak English and German.

Hi there! I’m Georgette — a Speech-Language Pathologist based in Tennessee. For education, I earned my Bachelor of Science from Middle Tennessee State University and my Master of Science from Midwestern University. Additionally, I’m nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in several states, which allows me to work with a wide range of individuals.

‍

Over the years, I’ve gained experience in hospitals, rehab centers, and outpatient clinics, but my true passion lies in working within the education setting. I specialize in the areas of articulation, language development, fluency, and social communication.

‍

My sessions are anything but one-size-fits-all; I bring energy, creativity, and fun into each one through games, music, and giving my clients choices in how they'd like to learn. I truly believe that when therapy feels engaging, meaningful progress follows.

‍

Having gone through speech therapy myself, I understand what it’s like to be in the client’s seat. That experience gives me a deeper sense of empathy and connection with those I work with, as I strive to be a supportive, attentive listener and a compassionate guide.

‍

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and embracing new experiences. Whether I’m traveling, figure skating, or spending time with family and friends, I’m always seeking growth, joy, and a fresh perspective. I’m excited to connect with and support you on this journey toward stronger communication. Let’s work together to make it a positive and meaningful experience!

‍

I’m American and I speak English.

Hi there, I am Georgios! I was born in the magical city of Athens, Greece. I have an M.Sc. in Clinical Developmental Psychology & Parental Counseling from the State University of Padua in Italy. I also have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the Panteion State University in Athens, and a bachelor's degree in Educational Sciences from the University of Perugia in Italy.

‍

I worked for more than 10 years in the field of social risk prevention. Since 2010, I've worked as a therapist for children and parents. I have been living and working in Berlin since 2015 and have recently moved back to Athens, Greece.

‍

My professional approach is based on active listening and an ongoing exploration of solutions to problems, thoughts, and emotions. I focus on the present and the resources available, without ignoring the impact that the past has on us.

‍

I take on a systemic approach which has its strength in the analysis and exploration of the "system family" and its surroundings. My solution orientation approach also allows for fast relief from heavy symptoms and new pathways in family life.

‍

I specialize in: Anxiety/Depression Reduction, Solutions-Focused Counseling, Life Transitions (i.e., grief/loss, moving abroad, etc.), Trauma/Post-traumatic Stress, Anxiety, Parent Counseling, School-based Interventions, Drug Abuse, Domestic Violence & Abandonment.

Hi! My name is Giada (pronounced JAH-Dah) and I am currently based in Berlin, Germany, after relocating from Italy 7 years ago. My academic journey began at the University of Chieti, where I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy, laying a strong foundation for my career in pediatric care.

‍

In Berlin, I started working at a multidisciplinary clinic specializing in neurology, orthopedics, psychiatry and pediatrics. Here, I gained extensive experience working with children facing a wide range of developmental and neurological challenges. My work primarily involved supporting children with ADHD, autism, rare diseases, Down Syndrome, premature birth complications and concentration disorders. This role allowed me to develop specialized skills in addressing the unique needs of each child, tailoring therapeutic interventions to promote their cognitive, emotional, and motor development.

‍

In these settings, I focused on early intervention and sensory integration, helping children enhance their daily living skills and achieve greater independence. My approach is always child-centered, aiming to empower families and support children in reaching their full potential.

‍

To further deepen my knowledge, I have successfully completed a course in Early Stimulation, which compliments my existing skills and enables me to better serve infants and toddlers at critical stages of their development.

‍

I am fluent in German, Italian, Spanish, and English.

Hi, I’m Greg! I’m an academic coach and musician from New York, and I have a passion for educating and helping others on a global scale.

Thereafter, I worked in San Francisco as an academic coach specializing in math, English, and SAT/ACT test preparation.

‍

During this time, I trained and worked as a peer support volunteer with Holocaust survivors and clients with HIV/AIDS. In 2017, I moved abroad and completed my CELTA, an English language teaching qualification, through the University of Cambridge. Since then, I have freelanced as a teacher in Berlin (playing cello with local ensembles in my spare time) and look forward to continuing to help others thrive through education.

‍

My job as classroom support consisted of co-teaching new material, and especially re-teaching and reviewing lessons and exercises to make sure that students comprehend the material in their classes and had the best chance of success.

‍

Over the years, I’ve developed a passion for helping students achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Hi! My name is Julia and I am a Behavior Support Coordinator! I moved to Berlin from Indianapolis in 2024. I was born in the Netherlands to Polish and American parents, and grew up in Taiwan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, where I graduated from high school. I speak Polish and English. I graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.

‍

I worked as a Registered Behavior Therapist at Cornerstone Autism Center in Indiana, and a Learning Support Specialist at the American School of Warsaw in Poland, serving students and clients between the ages of 3 and 20. In 2023 I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). In this role, I conducted initial assessments such as the Vineland, VB-MAPP and EFL to identify learners’ strengths and deficits and create socially significant goals related to skill acquisition and maladaptive behavior reduction. Using these goals, I created individualized programs and trained behavior therapists to implement them with fidelity using Behavioral Skills Training.
