Getting to know Defne Kabas Bici
As a dedicated professional working with individuals, families, and couples, my passion is helping you navigate the complexities of your emotional and relational lives. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and challenges.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic models, including systemic therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused therapy. I work with clients experiencing relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family dynamics that may be causing distress.
I understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate your struggles alone. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling with life’s uncertainties, I am here to help.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I utilize evidence-based approaches to create a personalized and effective therapy experience. One of the primary methods I use, especially in couples therapy, is the Gottman Method. This approach focuses on strengthening relationships by improving communication, deepening emotional connection, and building a strong foundation of trust and respect.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges related to infidelity, codependency, and toxic communication styles. These issues can deeply impact relationships and emotional well-being, but healing and growth are possible with the right support.

I have been working with Defne for about 2 years now. Prior to seeing her, I had never been to a therapist before so I didn't know what to expect. I found her to be super patient and she has allowed me to open up in my own time. She has never made me feel judged and always welcomes me with warmth and kindness. I appreciate the professionalism, extensive knowledge, and all the compassion she portrays during our sessions. I would highly recommend her!

It's not always easy finding an effective therapist, but I feel that I lucked out when I started seeing Defne. Her demeanor is calming and nonjudgmental, so it's easy to open up and talk about tough issues. Defne is a great person to bounce ideas off of and to give thoughtful input when working to create goals for yourself. If you're looking for a laid back, but also action oriented therapist, Defne is an excellent choice.
