Dr. Meysenaz Koser

As a 72-year-old retired history professor struggling with profound grief after my wife's passing, I found Dr. Koser's approach unlike any therapy I've encountered. She didn't just listen—she introduced me to 'narrative reconstruction therapy,' where we literally rebuilt my life story using historical analysis techniques I understood. Over six months, she helped me create a 'living archive' of my marriage that honored the past while making space for new chapters. Her office at Acibadem Atasehir felt like a scholar's study, not a clinical space. At our final session, she presented me with a beautifully bound blank journal, saying 'The next volume is yours to write.'

Our 8-year-old daughter Elif developed severe school refusal after a classroom incident, screaming and shaking every morning. Dr. Koser transformed her therapy into a 'secret agent training program.' She gave Elif missions involving 'bravery points' and used puppet-based roleplay to address trauma. What stunned us was Dr. Koser's 'family ecosystem mapping'—she identified how my work stress and my husband's overprotectiveness were unintentionally reinforcing Elif's anxiety. She treated our entire family system, not just our daughter. After three months, Elif not only returned to school but started a 'kindness club' to help other anxious children. Dr. Koser doesn't just heal symptoms; she rebuilds confidence from the ground up.

I was referred to Dr. Koser during a psychiatric emergency—severe dissociative episodes where I'd 'lose' hours of time. Most doctors would have immediately hospitalized me, but she implemented what she called 'crisis scaffolding.' She conducted daily 20-minute check-ins via secure video for two weeks while I remained at home, using sensorimotor grounding techniques I'd never heard of. She collaborated with a neurologist to rule out organic causes, then guided me through 'memory integration therapy' that felt like carefully reassembling shattered glass. Her emergency protocol wasn't about containment but about creating immediate stability so deeper work could begin. She saved me from institutionalization and gave me back my continuity of consciousness.

What began as routine stress management for my corporate job evolved into something extraordinary with Dr. Koser. During our fourth session, she noticed subtle patterns in my language that suggested undiagnosed neurodivergence. Using specialized assessment tools from her research in cognitive diversity, she identified I have ADHD-PI and synesthesia—at age 34. Her 'cognitive profile mapping' showed how my brain's 'disadvantages' in traditional settings were actually strategic advantages in pattern recognition. She helped me redesign my work life around my neurology instead of fighting it. Now I've been promoted twice using the cognitive strategies she co-developed with me. Dr. Koser doesn't just treat problems; she discovers hidden potential.
