Getting to know Ilknur Citlak

Welcome! I’m really glad you’re here. I’m Ilknur, and I work from a warm, collaborative approach. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been going on at your own pace. We’ll work together to figure out what you need from therapy and what might be most helpful for you. My approach I provide therapy in both Turkish and English and work from a culturally-sensitive, collaborative approach. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and adjustment concerns. In our work together, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone. My focus I primarily work with children, adolescents, and young women, especially those experiencing life transitions such as school changes, moving, identity development, relationship changes, or immigration-related stress. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. My journey to mental healthcare Coming from an immigrant family myself, I have always deeply shared my values and passion for this work. I understand firsthand the complexities of navigating multiple cultures, systems, and expectations. My background includes experience as a school social worker, case manager, child protection, trauma specialist, outpatient therapist, and mentor. My goals for you We’ll go at your pace. My role is to support you, as you’re always in control of what you share. We’ll practice coping tools in session, and you can try them during the week. We’ll notice what works and adjust together. My first session with you Gathering bio-psychosocial intake information and understanding what your goals are in therapy to ensure that this would be an ideal fit.
