Terry Turner
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Everyone should be encouraged to work through any problem or issue they face with the right person to achieve the best outcome. With my support, I look forward to helping you become strong again. I help clients set goals, track progress, feel supported, get feedback, and be appreciated for their hard work, skills, and talents. My work experience is vast and wide-ranging. For example, I have spent many years in the military (VFW), police department, and elite sports competition, supporting individuals as they dealt with career development, performance improvement, addiction, mental illness, and crisis.
My clients describe me as generous, motivational, and dedicated to improving their lives. I'm here as a resource to discuss your needs, and I am fully committed to helping you overcome your struggles. My style is practical, reality-based, and evidenced-based. I treat clients and families with dignity and respect, ensuring a positive atmosphere for growth.
Everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, is encouraged to address and work through any problem or issue they are facing. If you allow me to join your therapeutic journey, you will be met with honest, forward-thinking discussions so that we can uncover the best approach to helping you achieve the brightest future imaginable.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
As an Afghanistan veteran and licensed psychotherapist, my unique journey gives me deep insight into trauma's impact. I use a holistic approach, integrating talk therapy with somatic practices (yoga, meditation, yoga nidra) to help you heal and find resilience. I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction counseling, and navigating narcissistic abuse. I also provide DOT SAP evaluations for transportation professionals.
If you experience any of these symptoms—hyperarousal, irritability, chronic fatigue, chronic shame, overeating, substance abuse, difficulties trusting others or yourself, trouble relating to others, avoidance of certain situations or memories, or physical symptoms like tightness in your shoulders, jaw, or stomach—you may be dealing with the aftermath of abuse.
I specialize in helping individuals who are victims of abuse. However, if your relationship involves active emotional or physical abuse, and one partner is predominantly abusive, individual counseling for each of you may be more suitable. My approach is most effective when both partners have experienced abuse but are not in an antagonistic dynamic where one person is the primary abuser.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
In moments we feel inadequate, uncertain, or even confused, we often look for a helping hand. As a therapist, I perfectly understand that we all need a little extra support at some point in our lives. Together, we will work out solutions that could help you grow as an individual. Working with me can help improve your emotional well-being, make peace with your past, and live the life you’ve always wanted. Our minds can get overwhelmed sometimes, but I will help you unravel what’s causing you stress. Whether it is anxiety, grief, abuse, or even a tough breakup – there will be no judgment from me. Help is just a phone call away.
I use an eclectic approach influenced by Person-Centered therapy, so expect our sessions to be conversational. I also draw inspiration from Gestalt methods, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other forms of trauma support I learned from working with people of all ages. I want to explore your history and understand the root causes of your stress.
Our counseling sessions will allow you to express freely and get the most out of therapy. Hopefully, my methods could help you find your voice, value your authenticity and uniqueness, and eventually reach your goals. I also believe in the power of introspection and self-acceptance, two ingredients necessary for growth and healing. I hope to hear from you!

Stephanie Muro
Counselor/Therapist, MA
Life can feel overwhelming at times and it may seem that there is nothing that can be done to stop the pain and suffering, but this is not true. I use an integrative approach to therapy that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), art therapy, and expressive techniques to meet your individual needs. Through therapy, I can assist you to address patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and other stress-related issues.
My goal is to help individuals increase self-awareness and develop concrete tools to improve emotional wellness that will help them reach their goals. I encourage therapy to be a space where one can explore feelings, process thoughts, and identify personal strengths.
Whatever season you find yourself in, I am here to walk with you in the context of a nonjudgmental, warm, empathic, and collaborative space.
