About
Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Keskin, a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience in mental health counseling. At Elea Praxis Counseling & Wellness, I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy, designed to help you find balance, resilience, and meaningful connections in your life.
In addition to working one-on-one with clients, I serve as a clinical supervisor and as a tenured associate professor and director of clinical training in marriage and family therapy education. This blend of academic insight and real-world clinical work allows me to offer evidence-based techniques and genuine empathy. My approach is strengths-based—I firmly believe in recognizing and building upon the skills and qualities you already possess.
A Multicultural Perspective for Nuanced Care
Born in Turkey and having lived in the United States for over a decade, I’ve gained extensive international experience while working with clients from diverse backgrounds. This multicultural background helps me provide culturally sensitive care that respects and honors your unique background and journey. Whether you’re seeking clarity about your personal or professional life or navigating relationships across cultural divides, my goal is to offer a safe, welcoming space to explore and grow.
Compassion, Integrity & Continuous Learning
From my personal upbringing to my academic and clinical roles, I’ve learned the power of compassion, integrity, and lifelong learning. Therapy is a partnership, and I see myself as an ally who walks alongside you. Together, we’ll leverage evidence-based methods and practical strategies to help you manage stress, improve communication, and strengthen relationships.
Ready to Get Started?
If you’re looking for a therapist who blends warmth, cultural understanding, and a proven toolkit of therapeutic interventions, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. During this initial conversation, we can get to know each other, discuss your goals, and determine the best way forward. I look forward to supporting you on your path to greater well-being and personal fulfillment.
