Dr. Dilara Cagil Tekin

As a psychiatrist and physician, I believe in the importance of holistic treatment approaches based on the fact that mental health is an integral part of overall health. The uniqueness of each person keeps my love for my profession alive.

I work with adults and I have experience working with individuals seeking treatment for a variety of mental health concerns.  

Prior to joining The Lighthouse Arabia, I have worked extensively in private practice in Istanbul and Dubai.  

I graduated from Marmara University in Istanbul, after obtaining my medical degree. I went on to complete my further education training for 6 years. This was a multidisciplinary residency program at the Bakirkoy Research and Training Hospital for Psychiatric and Neurological Diseases in Istanbul, which is the pioneering tertiary hospital of Turkey in the field. My training enabled me to gain experience and exposure in various areas of psychiatry including in- and outpatient settings with a comprehensive psychiatric approach.
