Varnell Person-Turner

My name is Varnell. I am a licensed and practicing therapist for more than 20 years. I have a master's in social work and extensive experience in many facets of psychology and human services I believe that rapport building and trust are imperative to effective communication and therefore the foundation of effective therapy. My specific areas of expertise as a therapist are anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/bereavement, life phases and adjustment disorders.

My approach to therapy is that the individual is the expert in their own healing and self-discovery while my role as the therapist is to support, guide and facilitate self-discovery and growth in a supportive and nonjudgmental capacity.

The first session will focus primarily on gathering and providing information. It will be an opportunity to begin rapport building and identify individual's primary concerns.
