Getting to know Sibel Akgunlu

I am a dedicated therapist passionate about helping individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Touro University California, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support my clients effectively. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Turkish, I connect with clients in both English and Turkish, ensuring clear communication and understanding. My approach is grounded in empathy and creating a safe space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings. I am committed to helping clients navigate their challenges and achieve their goals. Together, we can work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a therapist, my cultural values are centered on understanding and respecting the diverse backgrounds that shape each individual. I prioritize cultural competence in my practice, creating a safe and inclusive environment where my clients feel validated and understood. I am also deeply committed to empathy, collaboration and social justice. Therapy should be a partnership, where "you" get to participate in your healing journey. My goal is to foster an environment where healing is enriched by the richness of each client's background and experiences.
