Pinar Caglayan

My priority is to establish a trustful relationship with my clients to provide with a non-judgmental space that increase awareness about their own feelings.

Pinar Caglayan, PhD.

Provisional Psychologist

I grew up in Turkey and I have been working there as a psychologist since 2011 in different settings, including a University psychological clinic, non-profit organizations, hospitals, and my private practice. I also had provided supervision to graduate students at METU in order to guide them in their journey as a psychologist. 

I have been living in Canada since 2018 and became a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. As I also speak Turkish, I offer sessions in Turkish too if this would be preferred. I have been providing treatment for adults and adolescents and my priority has always been to build a trustful relationship in order to go through this exploration process about your weaknesses as well as your strengths. 

I seek to understand your worldview and your values from a non-judgmental stand. Our collaboration and trust are the crucial parts in finding your inner self and your needs.

I specialize in Clinical/Counseling Psychology and I have worked on depression, anxiety disorders (panic attacks, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder – PTSD), behavior change, and life transitions. My approach is integrative including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and emotional focused approaches to tailor my treatment plan to your needs.

I live in Calgary with my husband and daughter. My passions are exploring the nature of Alberta, walks, biking, and time spent with my family and friends. I have also been trying to get into painting and learning to play piano.
