ACT/CBS Background and Training: I completed my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a thesis focusing on an ACT-based intervention. During my training, I attended workshops and seminars on ACT and contextual behavioral science. I received formal training from the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science Turkey (TÜRBAD) and ongoing supervision from Fatih Yavuz, which significantly enriched my clinical skills and theoretical background.
ACT/CBS Experience: I have conducted individual therapy sessions based on ACT with clients experiencing grief, trauma, and anxiety. I applied single-case experimental design (SCED) in my thesis to evaluate the effects of ACT on posttraumatic growth.
Additional Information: I am particularly interested in the clinical applications of ACT for trauma and grief. I aim to contribute to the ACBS community by engaging in research collaborations, attending international conferences, and sharing clinical experiences. My goal is to further integrate contextual behavioral science into both clinical practice and academic work.
