Kumsal is a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist in Toronto. As a first-generation immigrant and parent who transitioned from research to clinical work, she understands how identity, culture, and life changes shape how we feel and relate to ourselves and others. She works with adults and couples who feel stuck in patterns like overthinking, shutting down, or repeated conflict. Many are navigating identity, cultural expectations, burnout, or major life transitions. Using a relational, emotion-focused approach grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she helps her individual and couples clients understand what’s beneath these patterns so they can respond differently, feel more secure, and build meaningful connections.
