Rita Turner

My communication style

Assertive, empathic, and client-centered communication to build trust and facilitate healing. Key techniques include active listening, open-ended questions, reflection, and maintaining a non-judgmental and warm demeanor.

My journey to mental healthcare

My fundamental drive in becoming a therapist was a fundamental drive to support individuals in overcoming challenges, trauma, or mental health issues. I had a vocation/calling feeling destined to help people and a deep emotional capacity to connect with others' pain in challenging times.

My goals for you

I will help my clients reach mental health goals by collaboratively establishing specific, measurable, achievable relevant and time bound objectives This will happen through active listening, building a strong therapeutic alliance, developing coping mechanism, challenging negative thought patterns and regularly reviewing goals to adjust to changing

Our first session

A first session is primarily an intake or assessment designed for building rapport, reviewing confidentiality, and understanding what brings the client to therapy. I will ask questions about personal history, current challenges, symptoms, and goals to establish a foundation for treatment.
