Merve Akkaya

Hello, I’m Merve Akkaya. I am currently in the final stage of my undergraduate studies in the Psychology Department at Üsküdar University. Throughout my education, I completed internships at NP Istanbul Brain Hospital, NP Feneryolu Medical Center, Moodist Hospital, and Kim Psychology, gaining experience in clinical observation and psychotherapy. I have completed Basic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) training under Clinical Psychologist Gizem Çetin, as well as Neuroscience-Based Positive Psychotherapy training coordinated by Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan. In addition, I supported my professional development during my undergraduate years through international supervision programs. Currently, I am continuing my internship at NP Feneryolu Medical Center under the supervision of Dr. Cengiz Demirsoy. At the same time, I work as an assistant psychologist in the field of general psychiatry at Moodist Hospital. Furthermore, within the scope of the KAÇUV Foundation (Hope Foundation for Children with Cancer), I continue to organize voluntary activities for children undergoing cancer treatment at Prof. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital.
