Hello and welcome,
I’m Mine, a psychologist with over 18 years of experience and a deep love for this work. I hold a Master’s degree (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology and have been supporting expats for more than 14 years.
In 2019, I also became an expat myself, and since then, I've been living and working in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where I founded my own practice:
Mosaic Psychology
How I work.
I offer in-person sessions at my cozy office in the heart of the city, just behind Vrijthof, and I also work online when that feels more accessible.
I work exclusively with adults and provide therapy in
English and Turkish.
A bit about my approach.
Therapists don’t need to have lived every experience their clients bring—but for some themes, shared understanding can make the work feel safer and more connected. I share certain lived experiences with many of my clients, such as being an expat and being neurodivergent, and I believe this helps me meet people with greater sensitivity and attunement.
My professional training is rooted in behavioral therapies. I received extensive training in
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) during my master’s studies and was introduced to
mindfulness, which continues to inform my work. I have completed advanced training in
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the International ,
Schema Therapy Certification Training with Dr. Alp Karaosmanoğlu. My therapeutic style is
eclectic and flexible, with a strong foundation in behavioral therapies.
Outside the therapy room
I have a strong creative side. I studied classical piano for four years at the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatory, and singing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve sung in choirs, performed as a lead singer in cover bands, and taken on one of the lead roles in a musical production. Creativity continues to nourish both my personal life and my work as a therapist.
If you’re curious about working together or have questions before taking the next step, you’re very welcome to reach out.
Wishing us all, a meaningful life,
Cheers,
Mine
