Dr. Ali Bülent Çekem, MD

I graduated from Çukurova University School of Medicine in 1997. During my training I spent a year in the United States on an exchange program, and completed my psychiatry residency at İnönü University School of Medicine in Malatya.

After my residency I worked at a private medical center in Malatya and then as a clinical specialist at Sanko Hospital in Gaziantep. Between 2014 and 2016 I served as an Assistant Professor at Sanko University. Since 2016 I have been working with my patients at my clinic in İzmir, Alsancak.

At the heart of my treatment approach are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based methods. I have been interested in meditation and mindfulness practice since 2014. I believe every patient's story is unique, and I plan treatment specifically for each person.
