Dontrell Turner removes the stigma and fear of therapy. Sessions with her are more like catching up with a friend but that friend also will tell you the hard truth and follow up with support. It’s really hard not to like someone like that even when I don’t like what she says!

Dr. Turner is extremely insightful and provides sound advice. I was nervous about how things would go because she’s the first therapist I’ve ever been to but things went really well. I feel extremely lucky to have found an amazing therapist.

The first session was very helpful and impactful. It felt like a much needed therapeutic slap in face

Dontrell is amazing! I have had other therapists in the past that I didn’t connect with, that I felt they didn’t understand me, what I was going through or how to help. Dontrell is patient, understanding, non/judgemental, very knowledgeable and she makes me laugh. I’ve never had a better match for therapy and I have already seen so much improvement in the last 8 weeks of working with her. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know!

Dontrell Turner helped me get through the trauma of a past relationship and into the right headspace so that I would be ready for the next part of my life. She listened to me and challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. I'm so thankful i was paired with her.
