About Seval R. Aksu

Hello, I\'m Dr. Aksu, a licensed clinical psychologist. I hope you’ll always feel welcome in my office. I have many years of experience providing psychotherapy, psychological evaluation, and consultation for adults, children, couples and families on an array of matters. I began practicing psychology in 1997, and have extensive training and experience both nationally and internationally. I practiced psychology in Istanbul, New York City, and California, and have attended a number of prestigious mental health training programs (e.g, Ackerman Institute and Albert Ellis Institute in NY, and Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in PA). Since 2008, I have been providing psychological services to the communities of South Bay Area. Some of the issues I have experience with include: • personal growth and development • anxiety, excessive worry • depression, sadness • couples and family conflict • divorce and blended family problems • anger management • challenging life transitions • stress management • work and career difficulties • shyness, discomfort in social situation • academic underachievement • parenting support • conduct/behavior problems • ADHD • OCD • Asperger\'s disorder • substance abuse and addiction • grief I use treatments that are highly effective, and provide practical strategies to help my clients reach their goals. I maintain a broad treatment repertoire, and keep myself up-to-date about scientific developments in psychology and related fields. I don\'t believe in a \"one-size-fit-all\" approach. Instead, I tailor my treatment strategy depending on my client\'s needs and wants.
