about me

Muge Khalaf

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist

Hello, I’m Muge, a Clinical Mental Health Therapist passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create fulfilling, joyful lives.

My Approach

A Safe, Empathetic Space for Your Journey

Originally from Turkey, I moved to the United States at the age of six. My experiences traveling the world and connecting with people across cultures have deeply informed my understanding of acculturation, assimilation, and human connection. With a strong multicultural background, I am committed to providing a therapeutic environment that is empathetic, compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where every client feels understood and accepted.

Education, Experience, and Specialties

I hold a Bachelor of Applied Psychology from Penn State University, with a minor in Criminal Justice, and a Master’s in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Capella University.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked in inpatient and outpatient treatment centers and crisis intervention, supporting children, adolescents, and adults.

I specialize in helping individuals who are managing:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Self-esteem challenges
  • ADHD
  • PTSD and trauma
  • Grief and loss
  • Substance use and addiction
  • Executive functioning difficulties
  • Stress and life transitions

I provide individual therapy, group therapy, and family and couples counseling.

My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy.

Helping You Build the Life You Deserve

My mission is to help you develop coping strategies, enhance emotional regulation, build communication skills, and empower you to cultivate confidence, happiness, and self-trust. Together, we will work toward the fulfilling life you deserve.
