Zeynep Kagan, MS, MA, MFTI

It is a bit personal and vulnerable to write about my experiences in therapy but I feel so incredibly grateful to Zeynep that I wanted others to know what an amazing person Zeynep is. I came to therapy because of depression and anxiety that has been with me for much of my life but has been hitting me harder in my late 20s. Often times, I would feel inadequate at work. I constantly compared myself to others and would judge myself for my many imperfections.
In the course of the 2+ years I have worked with Zeynep, I have undergone a profound albeit subtle transformation. Although feelings of depression, anxiety, and self-​worth still creep up from time to time, I now have many tools and resources that I did not have before and I now know deeply inside that I am a good person and worthy of people treating me well. And I sincerely attribute this growth to Zeynep. She has been consistently compassionate and loving and I don’t know where I would be without her. Thank you Zeynep.

Zeynep is an incredibly caring, sensitive and astute clinician. She has the rare combination of being both accepting and compassionate as well as having the ability to be firm and hold clear boundaries with her clients. She will not hesitate to tackle difficult issues with you, but she does it in such a way that you feel seen, cared for, and safe. There is a depth to her work that is very powerful, drawing on her intelligence, intuition, creativity and love. She is amazing to work with, and I’d highly recommend her as a psychotherapist.

I can’t say enough to convey what a powerful therapist Zeynep is. In my work with her I have found her to be insightful, so warm, very intelligent and intuitive. She has a very gentle quality to her work, and she is also able to move in more directly when a challenge is needed. That is how she promotes growth; it is a necessary and often rare coupling of qualities to find in a therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone who ACTUALLY wants to grow and change; she is not doling out milk and cookies to cater your pity party.
