Some reasons college students may seek therapy
Navigating Relationships

Healing from Trauma and Sexual Assault
​

College should be a safe place for growth and learning, but unfortunately, traumatic experiences, including sexual assault, can occur. If you've experienced trauma, know that you're not alone, and help is available. Dr. Turinas offers trauma-informed therapy, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can process your experiences, develop coping strategies, and reclaim your sense of safety and empowerment. Your healing journey is unique, and Dr. Turinas is here to support you every step of the way with counseling.
Addressing Family of Origin Conserns
College is often the first time you're living away from home, which can bring family dynamics into sharp focus. Are you struggling with expectations from your parents? Dealing with family conflicts that affect your studies? Or perhaps you're discovering how your upbringing influences your current relationships and self-image? Dr. Turinas specializes in helping students understand and navigate their family of origin issues. Together, you'll explore these dynamics, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies to maintain your well-being while balancing family relationships with your emerging adult identity.
Exploring Identity and Sexuality
College is a time of self-discovery, and for many students, this includes exploring questions about identity and sexuality. Are you grappling with uncertainty about your sexual orientation or gender identity? Feeling pressure to define yourself or come out to others? Or perhaps you're seeking support in navigating relationships as you explore your identity? Dr. Turinas provides a safe, affirming space to explore these deeply personal questions. With expertise in LGBTQ+ issues and a commitment to cultural competence, she offers compassionate guidance as you navigate this journey of self-discovery. Whether you're questioning, in the process of coming out, or seeking support in living authentically, Dr. Turinas is here to help you develop self-acceptance, build resilience, and create a support network that celebrates your true self.
