About
Bulent Dincer, Psy.D.
Welcome! Brandon Area Psychology Associates, LLC was formed in order to provide the community with a warm, inviting, family friendly place for people to find support and get help for a wide variety of issues. My wife, Dr. Laura Dincer and I are very excited to also call this area home and are residents of Lithia, Florida.
As for my academic background, I grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri and received my BA in psychology at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I went on to receive a Masters degree in Health Services Administration at the University of Central Florida and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the Florida School of Professional Psychology-Tampa, with a specialization in Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology. I completed my pre-doctoral internship training at the Institute for Child and Family Health in Miami, Florida and my post-doctoral residency in private practice with Dr. Kager in Valrico, Florida.
During my professional training, I obtained extensive therapy and psychological assessment experience with children, adolescents, adults, and families from varied backgrounds in school-based, outpatient, inpatient, private practice, and crisis settings. I completed year long rotations in the Hillsborough County School System as well as the Childrens Crisis Center in Tampa. My diverse training has allowed me to work with traditional and non-traditional families presenting with a variety of issues pertaining to depression, anxiety, oppositional behavior, inattention, hyperactivity, obsessive compulsive behavior, school, separation anxiety, military deployment, divorce, relationships, parenting, communication, abuse, grief, trauma, sleep, and work.
I am currently an in-network provider for several insurance companies. If you wish to see me on an out-of-network basis, I can provide you with the paperwork needed to obtain reimbursement from your insurance plan. Please contact me if you would like additional information or if you have any questions.
Clinical expertise/interest:
In addition to my speciality training with children, adolescents, and families, I also see adults individually. I collaboratively work with each client and/or family in identifying and achieving goals. My treatment approach depends on the presenting issue(s) and is tailored to the individual and/or family needs. I am also available for consultation with schools, other professionals, and agencies to assist with the treatment process.
Group therapy for children, adolescents, and parents. I enjoy conducting groups and have experience leading social skills groups for children, process groups for adolescents, and parenting skills groups.
Psychological assessment for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in psychological, gifted, and psychoeducational testing. Testing is often helpful in determining the best course of treatment for cognitive, academic, emotional, and/or behavioral difficulties.
Clinical supervision for graduate students and therapists seeking licensure as a psychologist in the state of Florida as well as other mental health professionals.
