Dr. Gökbayrak is a San Francisco VA/ UCSF-trained clinical psychologist with 15+ years of experience helping adults create meaningful change. With a background in behavioral research, she offers goal-oriented, practical therapy for high-achieving adults ready to break free from stuckness and live with clarity, choice, and intention.
I provide research-backed practical therapy. Sessions are collaborative and an active space to work toward your goals. I am dedicated to not only helping you manage distress but to also move toward what is meaningful and fulfilling to you. We will find ways to bring more agency into your hands when so much of life is out of our control.
I am a native English-speaker and multicultural expat from Europe, and based in Brooklyn, NY. I work with individuals who want real change that is practical. I ask the snaggling questions in a gentle way. People who are brand new to therapy have told me my style is helpful because I nudge without making you feel like you're under a microscope.
