I approach OCD therapy through the lens of compassion and calmness. My sessions focus on balance: I'm transparent and can be firm, but I understand the importance of flexibility, creativity, collaboration, and strong communication. You are the expert on your own life, and I will work with you where you are. This is a safe space for new learning, and we will celebrate every win. In addition to OCD, I have experience treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I offer inclusive, culturally responsive counseling.

Why our members love working with Val
K.V.
Val has consistently helped me face my fears in a way where I feel that I can eventually overcome those fears, all while being very understanding and approachable. I look forward to continuing to work with her!
K.V.
I greatly appreciate Ms. Turner-Harris for helping me make a huge revelation when it came to acceptance, and what it means to be accepting of uncertainty. I still feel like I have more to learn, but taking these steps has nevertheless helped me a lot.
K.V.
I greatly appreciate that Val was able to help me form a strategy on how to manage my compulsions in real-life triggering scenarios, by helping me to understand what responses I could use to challenge those compulsions, and accept uncertainty. The sessions that I have with her greatly motivate me to stay dedicated to the path of OCD recovery.
K.V.
This session was so helpful in helping me understand what was underpinning my OCD, how it functions, and that changing my mindset is how I manage OCD. I am very thankful to Ms. Turner-Harris and her understanding attitude, and I believe with her help, I can make progress on the long path to recovery.
K.V.
Ms. Turner-Harris is very understanding of my concerns about my OCD, and very willing to answer my questions about my compulsions! She has greatly improved my understanding of how OCD functions, and what I can do to manage it. With her help, I am confident that I can learn to enjoy life again, even if OCD is there.
K.V.
I was able to start identifying and addressing some of my fears and I am looking forward to my next session! Ms. Turner-Harris was very accommodating and patient with my explanations and concerns! It gives me some confidence that my condition can improve.
