About Dr. Mert Yildiz

PhD, LMFT, MS, MBA

Hi, I’m Dr. Mert Yildiz, and I’m passionate about helping people rediscover balance, connection, and joy in their lives. With years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I’ve worked with diverse clients to overcome anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions.

I specialize in strengthening relationships, improving communication, and helping clients develop resilience and self-awareness. My approach integrates evidence- based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a collaborative, person-centered focus. My goal is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy practicing guitar, exploring creative outlets, and spending time with loved ones. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the positive changes therapy brings to my clients’ lives, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide them on their journey.
