Umay Şeyda Yılmaz

Umay Şeyda Yılmaz completed her undergraduate education in Psychology at Eastern Mediterranean University. She has received training in Individual Behavioral Therapy, Sports Psychology, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Child and Adolescent Therapy, Adult Therapy, and Family and Couples Therapy. She has participated in Positive Psychology and Guidance Clinical internship programs. After her undergraduate studies, she worked for a period at a private education center with children with intellectual disabilities, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as individuals over the age of 18. In this field, she had the opportunity to closely observe the developmental processes of children. She has also been involved in sessions with young adults, observing personality disorders and antisocial relationships. She has worked with individuals on stress management and anger control using mindfulness techniques. She has created, and continues to create, content on individual, societal, family, and romantic relationships by leveraging the spreadability potential of social media, the speed of information flow, and its power to change perceptions. Guided by the belief that effective therapy methods should be individualized and vary from person to person, she has completed extensive training and continues to develop herself with the aim of providing mental health support built on trust. She aims to communicate psychology in a more accessible and understandable way for individuals of all age groups.
