I love Dr. Turner more than my best friend. She gives me sound advice and listens better than anyone I know. I love that she gives me examples of her own personal examples when she gives me advice for my own. She is REAL and honest. I feel GOOD and have homework to do until the next time I see her like I am making progress.
