“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer” – Romans 12:12

Hi, I’m Jessica Turner! 

I’m different from most therapists out there. What makes therapy with me different?

Well in order to understand that, let me tell you the quick story of why I became a therapist.

When I was younger, all the way until my time in college I struggled with intense anxiety. I had no idea how to manage my emotions as they were so overwhelming and so I struggled with managing my life in pretty much any situation.

I tried finding things to distract myself such as hanging out with friends constantly, binge watching television shows, trying so hard to please other people so they would like me, but I found myself so dependent on others around me, that I never wanted to be alone. This started negatively impacting my relationships and, where my dependence on those around me were too much for the people around me. I focused so much on pleasing other people, I lost who I really was.

So my Junior year of college I finally said I had enough, and found a therapist to help me process my emotions, and gain confidence in who I was all by myself.

The more I continued going to sessions, the more I realized there were so many things I didn’t know about myself, including the way I perceived myself in relation to my past life experiences. 

I soon was able to work through my emotions and thought patterns by processing my negative life experiences, exposing my core beliefs about myself. I was able to challenge my perception of specific events, leading me to reframe my thinking and how I viewed myself. 

Going through this experience is why I am here today telling my story in hopes of helping someone that may be feeling the same way. I never truly understood the impact that our early life experiences have on us until I was able to process my own experiences.

I’ll Help You Find The Answers

I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping children and adolescents ensure that they have the support they need during the developmental stages of their life. I also feel that it is important that parents receive the support they need to properly raise their child during this time.

This time in life can be difficult and overwhelming. There’s always these questions like:

    • Am I raising my child right?
    • Am I teaching my child the skills they need to succeed?
    • How is my child’s environment affecting their mental and physical health?
    • How do I form a strong relationship with my child? How do I communicate?

No matter where you’re at in your journey, I believe that there is always hope – regardless of what life has thrown at you or what you’ve tried before.

I will help you find the answers to what is getting in the way and I will show you how to get the life you want.

You deserve better than just getting by, you deserve to thrive.

When I am not in session, you can usually find me at the gym, church, or watching criminal minds on the couch with my dog! It’s my way of recharging and staying grounded.
