Hi, my name is Adam Turner. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been working with individuals to help them handle difficulties and overcome issues for over 20 years. I have worked in jails, on the streets, in schools, and even in other countries learning ways to help improve others lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I desire to help people work towards restoration in their lives. Our struggles are never exactly the same, and no one is immune to difficulty. Life is not easy and I believe there is a point in time everyone needs help. You will find I'm easy to talk to and provide a safe place to explore difficult issues, circumstances, and emotions. Please contact me if you need help finding your way through life's difficulties.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach to individual therapy is practical and generally focuses on an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach focuses on learning new ways of thinking and behaving to improve a person’s quality of life. I work to incorporate what will work best for each client. My theoretical approach is called Cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients I see are usually struggling with couple/relationship problems, parenting difficulty, blended family issues, anger, anxiety, adjusting to difficult life issues, and depression. Most clients are not enjoying life and want help making some changes and finding their way through pain, circumstances, and difficulty. About half of my clients are looking for a therapist who can identify with a Christian/Biblical perspective as well.
