Dr. Duygu Gökyıldırım Uslu Reviews

As a 68-year-old retired maritime captain, I struggled with intense loneliness after my wife passed. Dr. Duygu didn't just offer therapy; she helped me rediscover purpose by connecting my love for the sea with volunteer work at the maritime museum. Her approach felt like navigating calm waters after a storm.

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed performance anxiety so severe she couldn't compete. Dr. Duygu created a unique intervention using movement metaphors from gymnastics in our sessions at Acıbadem Kadıköy. Within three months, my daughter not only returned to competition but won her regional championship with newfound mental resilience.

After surviving a terrorist attack while working abroad, I (42M) developed severe PTSD that no medication seemed to touch. Dr. Duygu employed an innovative combination of trauma-focused therapy with somatic experiencing that felt completely different from previous treatments. She helped me rebuild my sense of safety from the ground up.

Our 8-year-old son began experiencing psychosomatic stomach pains before school. Dr. Duygu discovered through play therapy that he was processing our family's recent move from another country. Her family sessions helped us all adjust, and she taught him 'belly breathing' techniques that made the pains disappear entirely.
