Alcyone Psychotherapy and Consulting is a private psychotherapy practice run jointly by two licensed psychotherapists, Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn and Matt Vaughn. The two are partners of twenty years, both graduates of the University of West Georgia, where they studied humanistic, existential, depth, and transpersonal (East-West) psychology. The practice offers online psychotherapy and runs groups and workshops on relationships, conflict resolution, and spirituality.
The site's core services include individual online psychotherapy, Imago relationship therapy for couples, and community-oriented relationship/conflict-resolution workshops and talks. Their therapeutic approach is described as an "integrative humanistic, experiential, and psychodynamic therapy," deeply influenced by thinkers such as Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, Karen Horney, Otto Rank, and Eugene Gendlin. Since 2017 the two have fully transitioned their former in-person practices in Atlanta and Asheville to online work, and they are currently based in Istanbul, Turkey, while still holding licenses in the US states of GA and NC. In addition, they host an occasional podcast called Further Living, available on Spotify.
The site does not disclose any specific fees or packages. Whether for individual therapy or workshops, you must book directly through the "Contact" page. This "consult first, quote later" model is common in private psychotherapy, but it isn't very friendly for users who want to understand costs upfront.
The strengths lie in the two therapists' more than twenty years of experience, their solid academic and practical backgrounds, and a diverse, depth-psychology-rooted therapeutic approach; the online format also breaks through geographic limitations. The downsides are that the site's content leans heavily on philosophy and quotations (lots of psychologist quotes), while concrete details on the actual services, process, pricing, and available appointment slots are missing, and the copyright information still shows 2022, casting doubt on how frequently it's updated.
It suits English-speaking users seeking deep self-exploration, couples-relationship repair, or with an interest in humanistic/transpersonal approaches—especially clients located in the US states of GA/NC or in Turkey. It requires the ability to communicate in English, and those who prefer structured, evidence-based short-term therapy (such as CBT) may find it less of a fit.
The site is an ordinary informational page and tested as directly accessible, but the service itself is offered in English and aimed at the US and Turkey, so its practical usefulness for users in mainland China is limited.
