Reviews from our customers
For 4.5 years, Seda has provided exceptional therapy and guidance for me. I initially sought her help during a difficult breakup in 2019 and was immediately impressed by her empathy and insights. What began as situational support evolved into a broader journey of personal growth. Seda creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment to explore thoughts and experiences. Her wisdom has been invaluable for developing healthier coping mechanisms and greater self-awareness. Through my life's ups and downs, she has been a constant source of balanced perspective and professional care. Her therapy skills, including active listening and thought-provoking questions, have been truly transformative for my mental wellbeing. Seda's consistent compassion and expertise have made a profound impact on my life. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist!

Initially, I had doubts about the effectiveness of therapy. However, as I engaged in therapy and developed a strong relationship with my therapist, I not only experienced personal growth but also acquired valuable coping skills. Regardless of the challenges I face, big or small, I find comfort in knowing that my therapist is there to offer support and equip me with the necessary tools to navigate through life. I am truly grateful for the positive impact my therapist has had on my life.

I started therapy with Seda back in 2016. Therapy with her has been a life saver for me because when I started I did not know if I was coming or going lol I felt like a lost soul. She has talked me through a lot of life situations and recommended different techniques and exercises to help navigate through life. Therapy has helped me control my emotions, & cope with anxiety from everyday life stresses- I have learned to express myself better etc.
It now feels like we are family and not a therapy session. It is a great feeling to have a therapist that truly cares for their clients mental health and well-being. I am excited to have been a client of Seda, my life has been so much better!

When I first started working with Marina, I had absolutely zero sense of self worth, I was in a cycle of negative self talk, and found myself with little to no hope about feeling better about myself. Six months of regular sessions later and I feel like a normal person again. She gives you the affirmations and grace you need, and when you need a stern guide she can be that too. Her sessions rewrite your brain to being nicer to yourself while looking for opportunities to improve. Her work has done me wonders and I recommend her to everyone I know.

I came to therapy to set better boundaries and deal with ptsd related to a close family member who was in a near-fatal accident. Since starting therapy, I’m learning how to put myself first and heal from my ptsd and my childhood/past experiences.
J.R.Client
I came to therapy in need of couples counseling but Marina has helped in so many ways beyond that. So much work gets done in each session and I always have interesting and thought-provoking “homework” to do before the next session. She’s helped guide me to important decisions in my life and helps me navigate day to day emotions and anxiety.

The person I am now is indistinguishable from the person I was before. Thanks to my weekly sessions I am able to live in the world rather then just exist in it. I'm extreamly greatful to my therapist for guiding me to become a better version of myself.
A.M.Client
I’ve learned better coping mechanisms and have a better understanding of myself and why I am the way that I am. The knowledge I’ve gained helps me deal and cope with life and for that I’m thankful to Marina.

C.B.Client
I began therapy because I felt like I was at my lowest point. At first, I was scared to approach therapy because of the stigma around mental health help in my life. However when I had the initial phone call, I felt like it was meant to be especially with Seda because from our first one call she was able to provide guidance and through our sessions I have felt like I improved so much with my habits and thoughts. She truly is amazing and she never fails to show me how I can improve in a way I never thought before.
S.A.Client
The sessions gave me further clarity of what I was going through as well as definitive solutions to the initial issues I came to resolve. I chose therapy with Marina to get past an abusive relationship I was in. I had already left the abusive individual but needed to get past going back to this person. Moreover, Marina was and is instrumental in helping me to steer around choosing to be with others that may have put my emotional (and possible physical) state in harms way again. The sessions are a great combination of validation and personal accountability. I can honestly say that these sessions were and are a life saving blessing.
J.B.Client
My therapy sessions have profoundly impacted my life, especially in boosting my self-esteem and helping me recognize my intrinsic worth. When I first sought therapy, I was struggling with feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty. The therapy process was enlightening and transformative, providing me with practical tools and insights that have led to significant personal growth. I've seen tangible benefits from our sessions, and I'm truly grateful for the guidance and support I received, which have empowered me to live more confidently.

I had problems with my husband. My therapist Sevde Altun understands me very well. She helps me solve my problems. I feel better after each session.
S.P.ZClient
My therapy has been life changing. I am very thankful and blessed to have worked with Seda. She has helped me through the biggest life changing events one could go through. She has helped me grieve with the passing of my mother, getting out of a narcissistic engagement, and just helping me through my lowest times in my life. With her help I am learning self love, learning how to deal with anxiety, learning to be assertive and becoming the very best version of me. I am now so strong, healthy and happy.. but still growing with her guidance. I can never express how thankful I am for Seda's help.
C.S.Client
I am showered with support and validation with this service. My situation hasn't changed but the way I look at things has made it easier to bear while I work towards solutions. The support is invaluable and I have made revelations that have boosted my self worth immensely.

Our therapy sessions have made a large difference in my daily life. I will be going throughout ny routine and have small disruptions in my thoughts where I realize I can approach my situation with a healthier perspective. I also really appreciate that sessions focus not just on mind and thoughts but physical and spiritual health too.

My work with Seda Ayata, LMHC, was truly life changing. When I began attending online sessions with her in Fall 2022, I didn’t have much experience in terms of therapy. Prior to those initial meetings, I knew that something wasn’t clicking in my life, but at the same time, I didn’t know how to make specific changes that would enable me to clear life’s many hurdles.
Seda’s approach to therapy is evidence-based and research-based, meaning that she took my specific needs into account. As a Black man and a person of color, I was won over immediately. Over the course of weeks and months, we examined my personal history and worked together to unpack past traumas. Seda’s process has encouraged me to shift away from harmful ways of thinking and towards a more helpful and productive mindset.
“Don’t catch the fish, teach a person how to fish,” is an expression that applies to Seda’s methodology. Because of our time working together, I now feel that I am equipped with the tools and mentality to address the many life challenges that I know lie ahead.
I.B.Client
I came to therapy because of past trauma. Since attending sessions I have learned how to set boundaries and how to stop parenting my parents. Because I was the oldest all the responsibilities fell on me even as an adult so I needed to learn how to break that chain.
