Monica Turner

My communication style

My style is calm, direct, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable talking about whatever comes up, and I listen without judgment. I find that using humor at times can be very effective in dealing with life's challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist through wanting to help people and my own journey of healing. We often carry wounds from our past that present as current patterns in our relationships. While these patterns may have been adaptive once, they can become maladaptive later in life.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to set mutually agreed-upon goals, starting where you are. Through our work together, the overall goal is to help you deeply understand yourself by defining and refining your needs and how best to meet them.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll spend time discussing what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand you as a whole person. The goal is to build rapport and trust and become comfortable with one another.
