About Idil Gursoy

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified MH Supervisor in the State of Florida. I am also licensed in the states of CT, NJ, ME and UT and I am an EMDR Certified Therapist.

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in working with individuals facing addiction, mental health challenges, relationship issues and trauma. My mission is to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they work toward healing and recovery.

With a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based therapies to meet each person where they are. Whether someone is navigating the early stages of recovery, having relationship issues, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or processing deep-rooted trauma, I believe that lasting change is possible with the right support and therapeutic relationship.

My practice is built on trust, respect, and collaboration. I’m deeply committed to helping clients uncover their inner resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and move forward with greater self-awareness and hope.

Specialities

Modalities

  • I have been using CBT in my therapy session for over 9 years. It has been helping my clients with challenging their reoccurring unhealthy thought process. I will help you to identify your current triggers for mental health symptoms. We will together challenge your unhealthy automatic thought process.

  • I am a Certified EMDR Therapist. EMDR helps with processing and releasing emotions from painful experiences. We will together work through your painful and traumatic memories via utilizing EMDR. We will also work through your grounding techniques in order to prepare you for EMDR process.

  • I will encourage you to identify attainable goals for your desired outcomes. I also help you explore your strengths and successes to enhance resilience and foster change. I assist my clients in shifting their focus from problems to solutions. By exploring possibilities and potential solutions, clients cultivate optimism about their ability to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful change.

  • I incorporate psychoeducation into my therapeutic work to help clients better understand their mental health challenges and the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms. By providing clear, accessible information about conditions such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma, I empower clients to make informed choices about their recovery. This process not only reduces confusion and stigma but also enhances self-awareness, reinforces coping strategies, and strengthens engagement in treatment. Whether in individual or group settings, I tailor psychoeducation to meet each client’s needs and readiness for change.

  • I use Brainspotting as a way to help your brain and body process trauma and emotional pain at a deep level — sometimes even beyond what we can talk about. What I’ve found is that where you look can actually connect us to stored emotions or experiences.

    You don’t need to explain everything in detail, and we always go at a pace that feels safe. It’s a gentle, but powerful method for healing things that may feel stuck.
