At Mindbloom Counseling, we are more than a counseling center- we are a collective of professionals, educators and mentors who believe in the power of resilience, unique values, and human connection. Zeynep Unal (Cifci) Author & LPC-S, the supervisor and founder of the practice, started her private practice in 2018 after working in the school systems as a counselor, teacher and college counselor for 15 years and started providing supervision to other clinicians and that’s how Mindbloom Group Counseling has started.
The name Mindbloom was born from a shared understanding: Understanding the pain while suffering from it is not possible most times. Perhaps you are grieving a loss, a job or a relationship. When you’re hurting and in pain, it can be very hard to seek therapy.
Healing is not about overcoming pain but also understating and growing out of it. Healing is learning about your strength, rebuilding your identity, and redefining your future. As individuals from diverse backgrounds our team is composed of professionally trained counselors and we know the challenges of adapting, struggling with self worth, facing trauma, and navigating the weight of expectations.
But we also know that healing happens when people are seen, heard and supported.This is why our practice is built on a foundation of empowering oneself, where we integrate psychological insights with value-based growth- helping individuals not only process their pain but also build a stronger, more purpose-driven self.
Through our work, we’ve seen how struggles with anxiety, trauma, relationship wounds, and self-doubt can make people feel lost. But we also believe that within every struggle, there is potential for transformation.
Do you have emotions that are overwhelming? Are your thoughts beyond your control? Are you experiencing bodily sensations that you don’t want? Are you disturbed by past memories that won’t go away? Do you have urges to act in ways that you don’t like? Are you involved in a relationship that is unfulfilling and you don’t seem to know what to do about it?Is there a situation in your life that is frustrating or hopeless and you need some help? Would you like your life to be about something more than the problems that consume you?
Human beings suffer! It’s part of this human condition. We have thoughts, feelings, sensations, memories and urges that we can’t seem to get rid of. Our loved ones behave in hurtful ways that we can’t control. However, these painful experiences do not have to destroy our lives. Fortunately, there is a way to reduce your suffering and re-focus your energies on what is most important to you. There is a way to take your life back! You can start living in a way that moves you in the direction you want to go! It won’t be easy; in fact it may be the most difficult work you’ve ever done. And if you are 100 percent willing to give it your best effort, you can create the kind of life you want to live.
Maybe you’ve already tried to deal with your problems. Perhaps you’ve sought advice from friends, read some self-help books, watched mental health counselors on TV, or even sought therapy before. If you’re like most people, you may have tried some of these strategies and found they don’t really work:
Perhaps it’s time for a new approach! While you may not be able to change or control the difficulties in your life, you can learn how to respond differently to them! This may seem counter-intuitive; however, changing your responses to these unwanted experiences will change the way you behave. Don’t believe me; try it for yourself and see what your experience tells you.

Zeynep guided my daughter through a very difficult time. Her expertise and compassionate approach made a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her services. She is truly the best!
AnonymousZeynep hanımla tanıştığımda psikoloji bilimine çok inanmama rağmen bana bir psikoloğun bile yardımcı olup olmayacağına dair kafamda soru işaretleri vardı. Kendimce kendimi oldukça iyi tanıdığımı ve olası tüm çözümleri tükettiğimi düşünüyordum. İşte böyle zor bir durumda bile kendisi ilaç gibi geldi. Şimdi neden daha önce destek almamışım diyorum ve herkese tavsiye ediyorum.
AnonymousWhen I first met Zeynep, I had doubts about whether a psychologist could help me, despite my strong belief in the science of psychology. I thought I knew myself well and had exhausted all possible solutions. Even in such a challenging situation, she was like a breath of fresh air. Now, I wonder why I didn’t seek support sooner and wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone.

Zeynep coached my son during his first year in high school in the USA for over three months. She significantly helped him manage his anxiety and stress. Thanks to her therapy, my son has greatly benefited and improved. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of support
