Heather Turgeon
I have been working in the area of behavioral health since 1990, have various degrees from educational institutions, worked several internships for required training, helped move clients from a Developmental Center into homes to live and be a part of the community, have a love of working with older adults, and feel I am a compassionate, kind, person who is client centered and wants to help others to become empowered, if wanted. I have been a social worker for several entities and before that I was a Licensed Psychiatric Technician working on a crisis unit for Sonoma county.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect honesty, levity, compassion, understanding, safe environment, confidentiality, and directness (as needed). Completing initial assessment with me, to see if there is a fit between client and myself, and if not refer to another clinician per request or suggest client find a provider who is a better match.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Meeting the client where they are at instead of putting clinicians agenda onto them, kindness, understanding, examples, honest, levity, compassion, empowering statements, and positive affirmations. Directness to an extent, able to diagnose people with appropriate diagnoses. No stigmatizations and acceptance of various behavioral conditions. Working with people who can learn to admit faults (accountability) and work towards being a better person.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have used this treatment in therapy as I became more knowledgable about acceptance and commitment in my own life, using various interventions, to assist clients in learning about psychological flexibility through mindfulness, breathing exercises, journaling, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I started using CBT in 1990 when I worked at a group home for SED adolescents, for 15 years at Sonoma Developmental Center, I continue to use it to help people learn coping skills to treat symptoms that are not affectively treated with medications, and to learn more information about their diagnoses and symptoms.
Compassion Focused
I used compassion with clients who have trauma or other psychiatric diagnoses, and appear to have low self esteem, or have not been treated with compassion in their past relationships. Emulating compassion for clients to learn as well. This seems to increase a person's trust in the therapeautic relationship.
