About

My name is Janice Turner; however, Most people refer to me as counselor Jaye. My early career was in the computer field, as I received my bachelor’s in Information Systems. Why the change? Well, I happened to fall into it doing a service call for a mental health clinic. I helped one of the clinic’s clients who was experiencing a crisis so well that they offered me a job. I told myself that day I was meant to do this – and here I am. I enjoy what I do because I am helping people become well. I believe in the power of positive change through work and diligence. Therapy helps. Experiencing trauma firsthand, I understand the pain of dealing with events that one cannot seem to shake. I believe progress is possible if you put forth the right attitude and effort. Staying the course and having a positive attitude makes life’s struggles easier. We are all unique, and I cherish and work with each client relationship differently. I am always honored to work with my clients because it takes courage to admit you cannot heal or solve your problems on your own. I received my master’s in Professional Counseling from Liberty University (2013) in Lynchburg, Virginia, and am a licensed mental health counselor and licensed clinical supervisor for the state of Florida for marriage and family and mental health counseling. My specialties are relationship counseling, sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger management. For the past seven years, I have worked with addiction and adoption counseling. Proud to be a native Tampa resident, I love fishing, singing, and anything that makes others smile. My experience covers a variety of areas in the mental health field, including working with victims of domestic violence, home- and family-based counseling, parenting, and divorce counseling, I currently have a private Telehealth practice in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida.
