I am a Creative Arts Therapist, a Registered Drama Therapist - RDT, a Board-Certified Trainer - BCT, a supervisor and I am the founder and the director of Creative Arts Therapy Center…
During my twenty-two years of clinical experience, I have been privileged to help and witness so many people discover the meaning of their shattered life, and be empowered by creating and rewriting their life stories through drama, art, dance and music.
Beside in-person therapy, I also provide sessions via Online.
Many studies have found that online therapy is at least as effective as in-person therapy and has a lot of additional benefits too. In our hectic lives, ‘me time’ can be hard to come by. Online therapy fits around your schedule. You can speak to me wherever and whenever suits you at the comfort of your couch with convenience and ease. You could even snuggle up on your sofa with a cozy pair of bedroom slippers. Distance is no longer a barrier because I am ready and waiting to help you at the click of a button right there on your phone, tablet or laptop.
If You Feel...
✓ You feel you are “invisible” … You want to hide from everyone and yet you want to be seen by the whole world
✓ You always have to work harder than other people…Even though you appear to be confident and successful, deep inside you feel you are fragile and never good enough..
✓ You are lack of close friendships or meaningful relationships in your life…You sometimes feel like you don’t belong; even when there are people around you, you feel all alone as if there is no one you can truly rely on…
✓ Setting healthy boundaries is really hard for you. You don’t know how to say no…You have a tendency to give more than you receive. Sometime you feel you are taken advantage of others…
“Hidden talents are like clay. They either turn out to be mud under someone’s feet, or a sculpture in some others’ hands. What matters is how you use them”.
-William Penn

Feedbacks & Testimonials
“I have seen many therapists throughout the years and by far Nilgun has exceeded all of my expectations. She is an excellent professional due to her unrelenting guidance, support, therapy techniques, compassion and understanding”.
“What I love the most about Nilgun’s approach is that she is actively engaged during the entire process of her client’s healing. She is constantly thinking both inside and outside the box, which means you can truly explore your pain with her together due to her mental dexterity, openness and non-judgement”.
“I can trust Nilgun. She is empathetic and incredibly kind given that she is genuinely interested in her clients’ lives and struggles. She is honest and shares with you her thinking process and her knowledge. She provides structure where through arts therapy techniques she guides you into not only speaking about your pain but in exploring and understanding where it comes from into actually resolving it”.
“I highly recommend working with Nilgun due to the incredible transformations that came into my own life when I followed her guidance. The changes I wanted but previously believed I would never be capable of accomplishing I can finally say I have completely achieved and have even gone beyond what I dreamed was possible”.
