Tashar Turner

Tashar Turner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. She brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes.

She has 12 years of experience working in hospital settings with Maternal-Fetal Medicine, OB Emergency, Labor and Delivery, Mother Baby/Postpartum units, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. That work gave her a close view of how medical complications, NICU stays, and pregnancy loss affect mothers and their families. She uses that experience to offer practical emotional support during hard times.

Her work often centers on pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infertility concerns, maternal health complications, postpartum depression, and anxiety. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, isolation, shame or guilt, panic attacks, and other women's issues. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is experienced with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Tashar describes her style as warm, collaborative, person centered, trauma informed, and strengths based. Sessions focus on identifying concerns, naming strengths, and building coping skills. She may include cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, psychoeducation, crisis intervention, and grief support as appropriate.

Reaching out can be hard, and she aims to meet people with respect and nonjudgmental care. She helps clients set realistic goals and work toward emotional healing in ways that fit their daily lives.

Evidence-based approaches and online care for women's health

Many of the techniques Tashar uses come from well-established, evidence-based approaches. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person's own values and goals to build confidence for change, which can be useful when adjusting to new roles like motherhood. Mindfulness techniques teach straightforward ways to notice emotions and bodily sensations, which often helps with stress, grief, and postpartum adjustment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tashar collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress and challenges emerge, so therapy stays practical and personally relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a work break or between appointments. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and may feel simpler for some people, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when preferred. Ask about current options when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your daily life.
