Getting to know Desiree Turner

You're used to holding it all together, but lately something feels off. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, stuck in self-doubt, navigating a major life transition, or struggling to manage the stress of daily life. On the outside, you may appear successful and capable while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself. I offer in-person in therapy & sports performance therapy in the Fan District of Richmond, VA and virtual therapy throughout Virginia, Alaska, and Washington DC.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy with me is not just about talking through problems — it’s about helping you understand your nervous system, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, sports performance therapy, and HRV biofeedback to help clients improve emotional wellbeing, resilience, and performance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first session is about understanding you—what you’re experiencing, what matters most to you, and what you want to change or strengthen. We’ll talk about your goals and any challenges that might be getting in the way, so we can create a plan that supports both your mind and body. Whether you're facing a difficult season, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply wanting life to feel more manageable, you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way and build practical tools that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live.
