Deniz EFE

Psychologist Deniz Efe is a mental health professional who values accompanying individuals on their journey of self-understanding. In her writing, she addresses the emotions that quietly accumulate in daily life, the fractures experienced in relationships, and the inner confusion that often goes unnoticed—using a clear and accessible language. With training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Children and Adolescents, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Counseling, and Industrial–Organizational Psychology, she approaches both the individual’s inner world and their relationship with their social environment from a holistic perspective. She does not view psychology as confined to the therapy room; rather, she understands it as something that exists at the very center of life, embedded in everyday experiences. The articles in this column aim to create space not for the question, “Is there something wrong with me?” but rather for, “What am I feeling, and how can I understand it?” Because sometimes healing begins with learning to listen to ourselves without judgment.
