Couples Counseling Therapists in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY

I believe the purpose of psychotherapy is to ease emotional and relationship difficulties and increase satisfaction in life. Clients come to therapy with diverse needs, but typically they are seeking help either to deal with immediate life crises or to address ongoing challenges. In my practice these have included issues of anxiety and depression; bereavement; effects of trauma; parenting and relationship concerns; and varied behavior problems. I see both children and adults and have a subspecialty in couples counseling . For psychotherapeutic techniques to be successful they must be adapted to the client's unique needs and circumstances.

We can all get trapped in a way of thinking or relating to the world that does not serve our end goals. I work with clients to help them become aware of these patterns, understand their origin and utility, while at the same time fostering the freedom, perspective, and skills to break away from these patterns when needed. I view therapy as a co-investigative process, where you and I can look together, with neutrality, curiosity and compassion, at the forces that are shaping your emotional life, and see if there might be a different way of experiencing the world.

Hello, my name is Luther L. Turner, Jr., a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years experience working with adults, couples , adolescents, and children in treatment.

Whether its marital problems, mental health issues , overcoming addictions, emotional conflicts, or individual concerns; psychotherapy is, in my view, the most effective tool in not only discovering the underlining dynamics, but also provide practical solutions, that addressing one's choices in life as one initiates that first step in achieving a more satisfying and rewarding life.

Life is a complicated and often overwhelming experience. Stress, anxiety, and depression are common reactions to abnormal circumstances.

Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.
