Sinem Yilanci, MA, MS, LMFT

​

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families around anxiety, relationships, trauma, life transitions, and developmental differences.

​

Due to my proximity to Silicon Valley, I often work with professionals in high-pressure roles, as well as immigrants navigating different cultures, though my practice is not limited to this. Many of my clients struggle with self-esteem, self-criticism, and codependency—areas I focus on in my work.

​

My background is in early development, attachment, and developmental differences. While I no longer work directly with young children, this training informs how I understand adult patterns, especially in relationships, emotional regulation, and neurodivergence. We may look at how earlier experiences continue to shape current dynamics, without getting stuck in the past.

​

I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based approaches, depending on what is needed. My focus is on helping you understand patterns, process experiences, and shift how you relate to yourself and others.

​

I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental differences (including ADHD and autism).

​

In my work with couples and families, I draw from the Gottman approach and help navigate a range of issues, including communication difficulties, recurring conflict, trust, disconnection, and life transitions.

Fluent in English and Turkish.
