I look forward to assisting you in living the life you have always dreamed of in a way that suits your unique wants, needs, and desires.

Rhiana Turner, LPC, LAC

I am passionate about supporting people through transitions, uncertainty, and growth. Whether you're a former athlete adjusting to life after sports, a new mom navigating the complexities of motherhood, a partner exploring new dynamics in your marriage, or someone wrestling with the intersection of faith and mental health, I’m here to walk alongside you.

As a mother and former collegiate athlete, I understand the profound impact of identity shifts, emotional demands, and life transitions. These experiences shape my therapeutic approach, which is rooted in empathy, insight, and respect for the courage it takes to navigate change. My clients often describe my style as a balance of compassion and accountability — creating a safe, connected space for real, lasting change.

I specialize in working with individuals new to therapy, recognizing how intimidating the process can feel. My goal is to meet you where you are, offering a space where you feel seen and understood. You don’t need the “right” words to begin; just a willingness to show up. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, set goals, and work at a pace that feels sustainable and supportive.

With a background in International Disaster Psychology, I’m equipped to hold space for both large-scale trauma and the quieter challenges of daily life. Whether you’re in crisis or simply feeling “off,” I’m here to help you untangle those emotions with curiosity, not judgment. My integrative approach blends insight, imagination, and meaning-making to tailor therapy to your unique story and goals.

Beyond therapy, I’m a published writer and artist, and I often bring creative expression into my work when it enhances healing. If you’re seeking a therapist who honors the complexity of your journey and partners with you toward clarity and growth, I’d be honored to connect.

My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration. In our initial sessions, I’ll take the time to understand your current challenges and goals, encouraging your input every step of the way. Together, we’ll uncover the key patterns shaping your experiences and create a tailored plan to help you navigate the path ahead.
