Psyc. Sezgi Sude Memis

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed severe performance anxiety that manifested as physical paralysis before meets. Dr. Memis worked with her using somatic experiencing techniques combined with visualization exercises rooted in movement. She didn't treat it as just 'sports psychology' but addressed the underlying perfectionism. Now my daughter competes with confidence and has even started mentoring younger athletes on mental resilience.

As a 68-year-old retired history professor, I struggled with profound grief after losing my wife of 45 years. Dr. Memis didn't just offer standard counseling; she incorporated my love for Byzantine history into our sessions. We explored historical figures who navigated loss, and she helped me create a 'memory archive' project. Six months later, I'm volunteering at a museum and have found purpose in honoring my wife's legacy while continuing my own journey.

Our 8-year-old son began exhibiting selective mutism following our international relocation from Japan to Turkey. Dr. Memis created a 'cultural bridge' therapy using bilingual story creation and gradual exposure through puppet theater that respected both his heritage and new environment. She collaborated with his school to implement a non-verbal communication plan. He now participates in class and has started a bilingual comic book club.

As a 32-year-old software engineer with autism spectrum disorder, I sought help for chronic workplace burnout. Dr. Memis designed a 'sensory integration protocol' that mapped my cognitive patterns to optimize my work-rest cycles. She helped me develop communication scripts for neurotypical colleagues and created a 'system shutdown' ritual. My productivity has increased 40%, and I've been promoted to lead a neurodiverse team.

After surviving a workplace shooting incident, I suffered from complex PTSD that didn't respond to traditional exposure therapy. Dr. Memis developed a multi-phase approach incorporating EMDR with narrative reconstruction through clay sculpting, an art form I'd never tried. She helped me rebuild my sense of safety not by reliving the trauma, but by physically reshaping my experience into something I could control and transform.
