6 Reasons to Choose `` Dilarom ``

Dilarom Demiralay, who works as a clinical psychologist Doctor, is applied in the fields of children, adolescents, adults, couples and families according to the basic principles and concepts of cognitive behavioral approach (CBT)

Encourages the client’s independence and competence.

If the therapy process is not moving in the direction of improving client resilience, independence, decision-making, and life competence, then therapy is not taking place. If your admiration for the therapist rises in tandem with your self-doubt, then you’re probably not in good therapy. A good sign of therapy at the brink of failure, or of therapy that’s not legitimate, is when your dependence on the therapist increases over time. Therapy is not about handing out solutions to problems; it’s about teaching the client to problem solve.

Good therapy = a good therapeutic alliance.

Generally, the best predictor of success in therapy is rapport—feelings of trust and respect between the participants; a therapeutic alliance. When there’s no rapport, there’s no therapy. Thus, while a therapist may look good on paper—experienced, well trained, etc.—if upon meeting them (within the first few sessions) you feel no chemistry, no trust, no warmth, then it’s probably best (for both of you) if you move on.
Services

Encourages and models accurate, honest, and timely feedback and communication.

Truth is safe in good therapy. Therapy creates a space that invites, expects, and is quite purposely designed for frank, probing, and revealing dialogue. It’s a safe space for clients to express themselves honestly, get to understand their true feelings, and work with the Psychologist to figure out how to use that information in their journey toward healing.

Good therapy is not friendship.

There are several differences between friendship and therapy. First, you may have multiple relationships with your friends. You can go into business with them, borrow money from them, have sex with them. With your therapist, you can only do therapy. Your therapist may be friendly, but she is not your friend. If your therapist is your friend, then she is not your therapist.
Services

Therapy is evidence-based.

Involves keeping good records, connecting anecdotes into patterns, generating hypotheses, and testing them. Therapy is responsive to new knowledge. It admits and corrects its mistakes. While good therapy seeks to foster hope and nourish the expectation of change, its promises are tethered to facts. If your therapist guarantees success or promises to change your personalty, walk away.

Services

Affirms the client’s basic human dignity and worth.

Looks to facilitate sound mental health. Mental health, however, is not a destination, not an end in itself, not a place you arrive at, pearly-gates style, to be ushered into bliss. Rather, mental health is a process you adopt and use in the pursuit of your chosen goals. In other words, mental health is your driving skill, not the destination of your trip. The pstchologyist, therefore, is not a chauffeur but a driving instructor.
