Here to listen, support, and guide
You’ve taken the first step…
Seeking help is hard enough; getting help shouldn’t be difficult.
I recognize that in making the choice to find a counselor, people are searching for discreet support, guidance, and counseling specific to their unique challenges and life demands. Being an individual, a partner, a co-worker, a parent, a child…any and all of these roles and responsibilities come with their unique opportunities and challenges. Joshua Turner Counseling was created to help individuals experience success through highly-personalized therapy, applicable to all aspects of life and the many turns it takes.
Oftentimes it is a result of, mounting conflicts, communication breakdowns, the recognition of addiction, or the threat of a friend or partner ending a relationship, that people seek out the help they need through counseling. In my counseling practice, you and I will focus on identifying life-long patterns and underlying obstacles together as a team. We will responsively build practical, applicable, meaningful, and personal solutions for you, collaboratively. You are not alone.
You may be seeking a safe place to discover, understand, and learn more about what it means to you to:
Be emotionally available or intimate
Feel connected to yourself and others
Navigate a disappointment, a loss, an ending
Stop blaming, acting out, and self-defeating behaviors
Alleviate resentments and obsessions
Comprehend love and connection
Define yourself as an individual
Thrive in relationships
Change your life
Feel successful
I am here, at Joshua Turner Counseling, to listen, support, and guide.
Safely Facing the Past and the Present
Opportunities for positive mentorship are scarce in our current society. My goal is to foster a secure therapeutic relationship with you in our protected office, or telehealth environment that gives you the tools to grow and mature into the person you want to become. Joshua Turner Counseling is a place where painful experiences and beliefs can be shared in an environment without judgment or shame. It is a place for you to examine the expectations placed on you by yourself and others (parents, church, society, significant others, etc.) I am here to help you end your sense of isolation and re-emerge with your true self-identity.
How COUNSELING helps us develop Mature relationshipS
Becoming a mature partner in intimate relationships means learning how to appropriately take responsibility for outcomes. A mature relationship evolves from mature partners. Mature partners are able to:
Commit to the work that healthy relationships require
See one another’s needs
Comprehend how personal childhood experiences play into current relationship dynamics
Mutually respect one another’s decision-making, ways of doing things (e.g. driving) , individual tastes, feelings, strengths, weaknesses, family relationships (e.g. in-laws), personal histories, and challenging or annoying behaviors (e.g. collecting things or not putting clothes away)
Develop insight and relationship skills in order to not take unwanted feelings out on others (e.g. partner, child, friend, parent)
Stop the baggage of past relationships from interfering with those in the present
Notice patterns of blame, frustration, anger, and resentment, and take responsibility for changing the dynamic
Support one another’s growth
Take responsibility for personal growth and self-care, maintain a sense of self inside of a relationship
Learn to accept one another unconditionally
A mature relationship is one where each person takes responsibility for themselves, how they show up, and how they behave. In mature relationships we are able to build trust and experience true intimacy.
