Welcome to my website Psychologist Amsterdam. I am therapist Yasemin Bektas, and in my practice on Borgerstraat in Amsterdam West I offer psychological support and therapy to people who feel stuck, have lost themselves, or simply feel that things could be different. At the moment, I have no waiting list, so you are very welcome.
You are probably not here by coincidence. Maybe you are someone who carries a lot. The person others rely on. The one who keeps going, keeps thinking, keeps managing. You are capable, responsible, and deeply used to being strong. And lately, it feels heavy. Perhaps you notice a persistent tension in your body, a restlessness in your mind, or a quiet sadness that doesn't fully go away. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns that repeat, or a sense that you aren't quite living as your true self. You likely already understand a great deal about your patterns. You might have read, reflected, and tried to change. And yet, something remains stuck.
You do not have to perform here. You do not have to prove that your struggles are "serious enough." You do not need a perfect explanation for how you feel. You are welcome exactly as you are. I offer a space for those who want to work at depth. Not just to reduce symptoms, but to understand the roots of what keeps returning and to create a lasting sense of inner peace.
I work with women and men who are masters at functioning well on the outside, while feeling something unresolved on the inside. Many of my clients struggle with high-functioning stress, attachment wounds, low self-worth, or perfectionism. Some come with clear traumatic experiences; others feel stuck without fully knowing why. Whether you are facing a clear crisis or simply have a quiet knowing that something needs attention—both are valid reasons to begin.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or if you'd like to get started together as soon as possible. You are more than welcome.
Sincerely,
Yasemin
