Getting to know Tawaka Turner Philon

Hi there, I'm Tawaka! Hey, Tawaka (pronounced Tuh-Wa-Kuh) here! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland, working in mental health since 2004. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My therapy approach is person-centered and eclectic, meeting you where you are and tailoring to your unique needs. I believe helping others understand themselves, grow, and unlock their potential is my purpose, and I take joy in walking that journey with clients. If you feel feelings and think thoughts, I’m equipped to help you! LCPC My approach I use an eclectic approach because no two people—or struggles—are the same. I draw from cognitive processing, behavioral modification, radical acceptance, and commitment to change to help clients find clarity and peace. At the core is mindfulness—staying present instead of being weighed down by the past (depressed) or anxious about the future—creating space for real healing. My focus Every person deserves dignity and respect, no matter background or struggles. I work with adolescents, adults, individuals, and couples, finding fulfillment in supporting those ready to face themselves—even if afraid of what they might find. Be afraid, but do it anyway! If you admit you can’t do this alone and are motivated to change, I’m ready to support you. My communication style Born and raised in the South, I bring that warmth and Southern hospitality into therapy. Imagine sitting on the porch with homemade sweet tea, chatting with your favorite cousin—that’s the energy I bring. You’ll feel comfortable sharing freely, crying if needed, and most importantly, being yourself without judgment or pressure. My goal is to create a space where you leave feeling lighter and looking forward to what’s ahead.
