Saliha Kozan (she/her)

I bring years of global experience and advanced training in culturally affirming, trauma-informed care. My extensive background will ensure you'll work with a therapist equipped to handle the complexity of human suffering with proven methods for healing. My integrative approach blends contemporary psychoanalysis with acceptance-based therapies (like ACT). This powerful dual focus offers you both deep insight into why you feel stuck and practical tools for lasting change. I specialize in supporting people who live between cultures—including immigrants, expats, and TCAs—navigating identity and belonging. If you've felt displaced, I help you find a grounded sense of self-acceptance. I also help survivors of complex trauma, using my expertise to gently untangle painful patterns, helping you move toward clarity and healthier connections. My practice is radically inclusive of all identities. We will co-create a space that honors your unique lived experience and supports profound healing.

My values are inseparable from my global experience and my focus on trauma. Having worked across diverse cultural landscapes, I recognize that suffering is often systemic, not just individual. Therefore, my work is passionately dedicated to social justice and radical inclusion. I operate from an anti-oppressive framework, constantly learning and evolving to ensure my practice is affirming and relevant to clients of all backgrounds. I am a dedicated ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and committed to supporting BIPOC clients, religious minorities, and displaced communities, acknowledging the profound impact of intergenerational and racial trauma. My commitment extends beyond the therapy room. I actively support organizations that fight for human rights and equitable access to mental healthcare. I believe that when we address the societal roots of pain, we unlock deeper personal healing. I stand for your right to live a life of dignity, safety, and authentic self-expression.
