Antwan Turner, MA, LPCC

Welcome to my professional page. I am Antwan Turner, a dedicated and passionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), holding a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University (2014). My approach to therapy is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, focusing on addressing trauma, building solid relationships, and fostering multicultural understanding.

Background:
My journey began in Louisville, KY, where I experienced a childhood marked by constant movement and periods of homelessness. This early exposure to life’s challenges greatly influenced my career path and instilled a profound understanding of many struggles. My mother, a staunch advocate for education, invested in my brother and me in the value of academic pursuit and personal growth. Her belief in my ability to listen and empathize planted the seeds for my future career.

Professional Experience:
Since 2004, I have been actively engaged in various roles that have allowed me to hone my skills in counseling and support:

   •    Youth Counselor: This role was pivotal in teaching me the art of de-escalation, structuring lives, and breathing amidst challenges.
   •    Mentor Case Manager: Here, I matched mentoring adults with young adults, facilitating meaningful connections and guidance.
   •    Therapeutic Community Support Worker: This position involved guiding and molding children under 18, providing crucial community support.
   •    Homeless Population Support: Working with the adult homeless population, I helped in housing, guiding, and managing lives that required structured support.

Since obtaining my counseling degree in 2014, I have been committed to helping change, mold, and encourage individuals toward better mental health. My experience extends to working with clients dealing with ADHD, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression.

Personal Philosophy:
I believe in the power of understanding and empathy to guide my practice. My diverse experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, always aiming to provide a safe, nurturing environment for my clients to explore and grow.

Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to working with you on your healing and personal development journey.
