Clinical Focus Welcome! I’m Tonya Turic, a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. My passion for this work comes from a deep understanding that everyone’s path to mental wellness is unique, and I am committed to providing a personalized approach to each of my clients. My clinical specialties include: Anxiety and Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Relationship Issues, Stress Management, Grief and Loss, and Self-Esteem and Identity Issues. I earned my Master's in Community Counseling, with an Emphasis in Family and Marital Therapy. This academic background, combined with years of clinical practice, allows me to offer a robust set of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your individual needs. I believe in the power of creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy, and mindfulness practices to help you uncover and address the underlying issues affecting your mental health. Together, we will work collaboratively, empowering you to take an active role in your healing process and develop the resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. Whether we are working individually, as a couple, or as a family, my goal is to foster a deeper understanding and meaningful change that promotes long-term wellness. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, coping with grief, seeking to improve your relationships, or anything in between, I am here to guide you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Reach out today to begin your journey to mental wellness with a compassionate and skilled professional by your side. In my spare time... You will likely find me with earbuds in and listening to a good audiobook or the latest in the many true crime podcasts that I follow. I love spending time with the cutest dog and cat that you have ever seen (and yes, I am totally biased) as well as with family and friends. I enjoy cooking and baking, and my secret guilty pleasure of watching dating reality shows. When the weather is nice, I like to swim and go kayaking. For self-care, I indulge in a good massage or some retail therapy.
