Cigdem KilicBetebenner, LMHC

I have been visiting Cigdem now for ~2 years. Overall, I have found her to be a really good listener, who is not afraid to be direct and challenge her clients. In fact, she challenged me at least 2 times so strongly that she herself had to wonder, 'Did I offend this person so much that they might stop coming?' But, she also knew that I needed those challenges, and she was right! It's how she got me to see myself. Even the little things, like breathing and drinking water, she suggested really helped. (I would have given more than 5 stars, if it were possible....I'm thinking more like ~7-10 out of 5.)

My spouse & I have been seeing Dr. KilicBetebenner for a year now, and through her counseling have found great growth, strength, and made deep and I can only hope lasting progress towards a stronger relationship. She is a phenomenal counselor.

So far I quite enjoy meeting with cigdem especially given how hard it was to find a therapist

Cigdem is one of the best person in this life.. she is good listener and supporter .. I can’t describe how my therapy session effect to my life..Thank you so much.

I’ve been working with Cigdem for about two months now and have already felt a great deal of positive change. I had worked with a previous therapist w/talk therapy and felt it was time to do more work. Cigdem does cbt therapy which is a game changer for me. Her overall energy, kindness and attention are outstanding. I’m so incredibly happy I have found her.

Dr. Cigdem and I have been working for almost a year now, and I cannot express how thankful I am for finding her. She has been there for me since day one and I have full comfort and trust in speaking with her about my events in my past life, and looking forward to the future. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me Dr. Cigdem. I now know it is not a race, it is a marathon and I look forward to having you join me on the journey.

she is professional, knowledgeable and loves her profession.

I always feel better after my conversations with Cigdem. She takes the pressure off and connects really well. It's been a beneficial experience for me, and I know she could benefit others.

She is compassionate and great listener. My anxiety is way better than a year ago.

After quite a search, I finally found someone I feel 100% comfortable talking to about anything. Life is full of ups and downs, and I am so grateful to have Cigdem guiding me through. She is not only a true professional, but she is a wonderful human being.

I feel beyond fortunate for having found Cigdem at a most critical time in my life. I was hesitant to try another therapist after having bad luck with one. I did not want to start that process over. Thankfully I did. Cigdem is non-judgmental and a sympathetic listener. At the same time she can offer real-life experiences that provide insight and guidance for healing, peace, personal growth and strength. She has a gift for intuitive support and a genuine passion to help.

Cigdem and I have been working together since March 2017. It seems a short time, but she is such an integral part of my life. I always feel heard and validated. That said, Cigdem is also excellent at balancing that with just the right amount of pushing me to think outside my self-imposed boundaries. I am grateful to have found a professional with whom I feel comfortable talking about issues large and small, emphasis on the 'with.' We are both invested in a healthy and professional way.

I don't talk about my mental health care with others, but Cigdem does excellent work and deserves recommendation.

I would recommend Cigdem for those encountering relationship or emotional troubles that need to be explored for discovering comfort and solutions.

She is very kind and courteous amazing at what she does. She has helped me so much!

Cigdem put me at ease straightaway and we hit if off from the get go. I enjoy our sessions very much. I respond well when my therapist gives me feedback and Cigdem does this along with giving me solutions to the issue of the day. I look forward to our sessions and enjoy them very much.

Gigdem Kilic Betebenner has been helping me to cope with certain issues that I come to her with. She has been great at providing a safe place where I can come anytime to talk about these issues and I always feel relieved after talking with her. I have formed a deep connection with her and I feel as if I have grown significantly as a person and patient ever since I have started coming to talk with her. Cigdem is a great therapist because she offers valuable insight into every situation.
