I believe meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable discussing your experiences without fear of judgment, while also offering opportunities to explore new perspectives and develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs and goals. I recognize that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and perspectives into the counseling process, and I believe those differences should be respected throughout our work together. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work with clients to better understand the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may be contributing to their concerns. Together, we identify meaningful goals and develop practical strategies to support emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and promote lasting personal growth. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that balances genuine support with opportunities for reflection, insight, and meaningful change.

My approach to therapy is an integrative one, allowing me to tailor treatment to each individual based on their unique strengths, limitations, needs, and goals. The alliance between client and therapist is one of the most important factors in therapy outcome. For this reason, I always strive to build a collaborative professional relationship with my clients that is based on trust and mutual respect. I do this by showing my clients unconditional positive regard that honors their individuality, authenticity, and their ability to choose their own path through self-determination and Self-leadership. It is my goal to always provide a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore and process their issues and concerns. I also encourage clients to learn and develop the skills necessary to create and maintain positive changes in their lives long beyond their time in therapy. While I am highly skilled in mental health assessment and diagnosis, I believe that a diagnosis is merely one tool for informing treatment. Regardless of diagnosis, it's very important to me to treat the individual rather than the label. I also wish to help my clients enhance and add value to their lives in addition to alleviating their bothersome symptoms.

Are you a teen or adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, life changes, difficult emotions, or experiences from the past? Maybe you feel stuck, unsure of yourself, or like you’re struggling to move forward. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood without judgment.

Whether anxiety is making it difficult to slow your thoughts, a life transition has left you feeling uncertain, or past experiences continue to affect you, we can work together to better understand those patterns and develop tools to help you move forward. I use thought-change strategies, mindfulness, action-based strategies, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in a collaborative, supportive environment. I believe everyone deserves a place to be themselves while building the skills and confidence needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're seeking support for day-to-day concerns or more complex challenges, I'm here to help.

I am a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a mental health therapist providing services in Michigan and Florida. I graduated in 2008 and 2009 with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, respectively, from Florida State University’s social work program. I moved to Michigan after graduation, where I received my clinical license. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. That experience includes work in residential facilities for youth and delivering home-based family counseling services in Calhoun County for more than ten years. Over that time, I received training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Love and Logic parenting practices, 7 Challenges, and various other clinical interventions. During my time in Calhoun County, I worked primarily with youth 5 to 17 years old and their families. In the last five years, my focus has shifted more to older adolescents and adults. I have worked with children and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), oppositional defiant challenges, low self-esteem, life orientation concerns, psychosis, and suicidality, to name a few of the most common issues. As a family therapist, I have a strong passion for helping guide others through the stressors of life. I am particularly drawn to supporting parents who are navigating their children’s challenges and their own emotional states while providing direction. I look forward to meeting each of you. If I cannot be of service, I will always work to help you find referrals to someone who can.

I help children and families find more shared joy, even when daily life feels stressful or disconnected. If you’re worried about your child’s anxiety, behavior, or experiences with trauma, I’ll work with you to understand what’s happening and find practical ways to help. My approach is warm, playful, and collaborative. I use play, conversation, and research-supported treatments, including parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)). I involve caregivers so the work we do together can carry into everyday moments at home. I have particular experience supporting children who have experienced foster care, adoption, or changes in caregivers. I want children to feel safe and understood, and parents to feel more confident in responding to their needs. Together, we’ll build on your family’s strengths and work toward changes that matter to you.

I have over a decade of experience helping clients in couples therapy, marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and individual counseling. I can confidently provide hope for my clients because I have seen positive outcomes so many times with couples and individuals who started therapy with me feeling hopeless that their situation could ever improve, and, despite these negative expectations, they have gone on to have profoundly positive experiences with me in therapy. One of the reasons why I tend to be hopeful and optimistic with my clients is that I have lots of training in therapy models that are evidence-based and shown to be effective. I find that, especially when working with couples, having that extra training is vital. I draw mainly from emotionally focused therapy and internal family systems when working with clients. I offer a range of therapy services, including couples and marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and individual therapy. As a therapist, I work with couples and individuals who struggle with a wide range of concerns and problems, some of which include relationship problems, affairs, depression, anxiety, struggles coping with trauma, and parenting problems. Thank you for considering me to be your therapist. Please check out my website for additional details about my practice.

We all go through various challenges in life, and some may be easier to navigate alone than others. Just like going to a doctor to maintain your physical health, meeting with a counselor can be a vital part of maintaining your mental health. Therapy can provide you with the tools necessary for working through challenges in your life. As well as improving your overall wellness, counseling can also help you with developing a better understanding of yourself. Throughout the counseling process, you can develop skills for improving your relationships, coping with life stressors, and emotional pressures. I specialize in individual therapy, working with adolescents and adults, offering healthy coping strategies and assisting in processing through traumatic experiences. I work with self-esteem building, depression, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma related to elder, domestic, and/or child abuse. If you are ready to work through your challenges, build your confidence, find healthy ways to cope, and get that additional support, then make the call today!

I provide a non-judgmental, caring space for clients to explore symptoms of anxiety, depression, everyday stress, or relationship conflict. I believe you are the expert of your life and that you have many strengths and I hope to offer a new perspective and an unbiased viewpoint on patterns that you may have developed in your life. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies, we can approach what patterns have worked well in your life and what have held you back in some ways to see what might work better.

My name is Becky Turner, and I am an LPC, a licensed therapist in the state of Michigan, more specifically Grand Rapids. I specialize in children ages 5 to 18 but also do well with young adults, middle age, and older. I absolutely love what I do, and I believe all people can feel better and move in a direction to reach their full potential.

Do you struggle with feelings of sadness and worry that leave you feeling disconnected from others and exhausted? Are you always doing for others yet feel bad about asking for or accepting help? Do you sometimes wonder if your reactions in the present are somehow based on experiences from your younger years? Are you sure life should feel better? I am an experienced therapist and the owner of New Perspective Counseling, a group practice dedicated to the treatment of anxiety, depression and trauma. Our therapists are skilled, compassionate professionals who start by trying to understand your personal struggles and the challenges you face. From there we will work with you to develop a treatment plan.

If you’re reading this, you might be carrying more than you feel you should have to carry alone. Maybe you’ve tried to push through, stay strong, or make sense of things on your own, but something in you is saying it’s time for real support. I want you to know that you’re not “too much,” you’re not broken, and you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself. I show up as a real person in the room with you—warm, grounded, and fully invested in understanding your inner world. Together, we slow things down, make space for the parts of you that are hurting, and explore what’s driving your emotions, patterns, and symptoms. My work integrates medication management with psychotherapy in every session, because I believe healing happens most fully when both the mind and the nervous system are supported. You’ll notice that our work is collaborative. I won’t talk at you or hand you generic advice. Instead, we explore your story together, with curiosity and compassion. I often use Internal Family Systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) principles, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you move toward clarity, grounding, and real change. Many of my clients are navigating identity, faith, relationships, or the impact of past trauma, and I hold those experiences with care and respect. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered—not just stabilized, but genuinely connected to who you are and where you want to go. You bring your lived experience, and I bring the clinical tools. Together, we build something that can truly help you heal.

As owner of A Brand New Start Counseling, I believe in the title and that a brand new start is exactly that. During our lives we are presented with many opportunities to start anew, whether those opportunities come from deliberate personal choice or a combination of life events that just happen. It is my goal to meet you where you are in your life and assist you as you begin your new start to developing a healthier, more empowered you. I am a well seasoned counselor who has been in the business of working alongside individuals, couples, families and children for eighteen years as we together search for new answers to life's abundant challenges. Whether it is depression, relationship issues, stress management, or more, I am confident that we can find the solutions that best work for you. I believe strongly that each of us carries our own answers within ourselves, but sometimes it just takes a little help to unlock those answers. While the counseling process can be painful, it can also be something like opening a treasure chest discovering your own inner strengths that will benefit you as you begin again in your life.
