Through my commitment to people's wholeness and well-being, I create a supportive therapeutic environment where my clients can feel safe and explore their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, gain clarity and self-understanding, and become authentic in their relationships. My approach combines resolving current issues as quickly as possible with an in-depth understanding of the self. Essentially, therapy is a collaborative process for persons wishing to take back control/responsibility of their lives.

As a counselor, I work with clients to restore trust, joy, purpose and meaningful connections in life. If you have been through a trauma or loss, if you are overcoming abuse & victimization, job loss, or divorce, if you are feeling disappointment with the direction your life has taken, or if you feel you are simply "going through the motions" ... I will come alongside you to provide a safe and gentle environment for healing. You may be surprised by how much healing and joy is possible. Take your first step today!

Understanding that seeking therapy is sometimes very difficult, I aim to support you in finding this experience to be rewarding as you embrace your own self-knowledge and personal growth. I strive to create a safe place as we move together through an inner process of acceptance, compassion, healing and personal authenticity. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families healing life challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, co-occurring disorders, relationship issues and various life transitions.

You can function well and be successful and sometimes you can even do it all with a smile on your face. Yet underneath it all, you may feel stuck under the crushing weight of trauma and stress. It can be difficult for others to understand because of how well you present yourself despite your suffering. Know that you are not alone. Just because you are doing great, doesn’t mean you will always feel great. Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel can seem far off. But I am here to tell you that it’s much closer than you think. I would be honored to walk alongside you and help you reach that light while honing your inner strength.

It is so exhausting living inside a traumatized body and mind. Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere; thoughts, feelings, and the overwhelm of re-experiencing events. Feelings of unsafety or a constant need to be hyperaware. Insomnia, changes in appetite make matters worse because the body and mind don't get the needed fuel and rest leading to cycles of collapse. The anxiety and collapse cycle can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves, loved ones and the world. We can lose trust in our own judgment and ability to heal. My approach is informed by a holistic integration of practices to help reconnect mind, body and soul.

Hello, my name is Sheyvon Fullwood Turner and I am the founder of Building Strengths Counseling Services. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Navy veteran. I have been working with children, adolescents, and adults, who have been struggling with adjusting to life changes, managing challenging behaviors and thoughts, relationship issues, trauma, and addiction for the past 8 years. I utilize therapeutic modalities such as play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and brief solution-focused therapy, just to name a few.

I believe that living your life authentically is a core of life satisfaction. Sometimes our suffering, loss, or worry makes us avoid living in a truly authentic way. These experiences can lead to post traumatic stress, depression, and/or anxiety. I care about who you are intrinsically, and will work with you to process those painful experiences, cope with anxiety, and reach a point where life feels manageable again. I won't push people to relive bad experiences, but I will work to establish a safe space to share and explore your needs at your own pace.
