Dr. Turner is extremely insightful and provides sound advice. I was nervous about how things would go because she’s the first therapist I’ve ever been to but things went really well. I feel extremely lucky to have found an amazing therapist.

Hello. Call me " Trell." I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the field. I aid individuals across the life span who are struggling with their emotions, navigating life situations, illness and in decision making. My approach is evidence based, holistic; trauma informed, practical and direct. The models of care used include, but are not limited to, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Practices. I am non-judgmental. In my sessions, you are free to be your authentic, uncensored self. If you are looking to reduce your symptoms, improve interpersonal relationships, expand your tolerance for distressing situations, improve your quality of life and see marked behavior change, then I'm the therapist you should connect with.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Dr. Turner is extremely insightful and provides sound advice. I was nervous about how things would go because she’s the first therapist I’ve ever been to but things went really well. I feel extremely lucky to have found an amazing therapist.
The first session was very helpful and impactful. It felt like a much needed therapeutic slap in face
Dontrell is amazing! I have had other therapists in the past that I didn’t connect with, that I felt they didn’t understand me, what I was going through or how to help. Dontrell is patient, understanding, non/judgemental, very knowledgeable and she makes me laugh. I’ve never had a better match for therapy and I have already seen so much improvement in the last 8 weeks of working with her. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know!
Helped me understand my sleep pattern. Listen to my family problems.
Dontrell Turner helped me get through the trauma of a past relationship and into the right headspace so that I would be ready for the next part of my life. She listened to me and challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. I'm so thankful i was paired with her.
Words cannot do justice to express how appreciative I am. I turned to BetterHelp and found Trell.
She's amazing
She was very helpful and pointing me in a good direction.
Wonderful woman! I was hesitant to give therapy another go, but Dontrell made it easy. I love her kind and direct approach, and she doesn't make me feel pressured to do anything. She's really good at "meeting you where you are". I have recognized a significant difference in the way I look at myself and life. Even my friends and family noticed a change. I am greatful
She is the BEST!
I've had one session with Trell so far. She is very compassionate and understanding. She is a great listener and has offered additional resources. I am looking forward to additional sessions!
Ms Turner is very professional and in only a few sessions, she has already given me many tools to help achieve my goals. I am very pleased to have been connected with her and anticipate success with future sessions.
Dontrell is extremely personable and kind. She is easy to get along with and easy to open up to. I highly recommend her as a counselor!
Very supportive and easy to talk to openly
Dontrell takes time to listen is non-judgemental, offerers informed choices and she has definitely been doing therapy for a long time.
I couldn't have asked for a better person that understands my thoughts and helps me process everything. Trell is very passionate and kind at what she does and listens to understands. She provides techniques to help coax through the roughest times. Glad to have met her!!
I was skeptical about using BetterHelp at first because my previous experience with therapy had been in-person. Still, I am grateful a close friend nudged me into giving it a go. Trell has been a lifesaver. She has helped me grieve the unexpected loss of my father, and unpack family trauma and navigate unhealthy relationships. I feel seen, heard, and understood for the first time in a long time. So much so, I recommend BetterHelp to basically anyone who comes to me with a problem.
Amazing! Trell makes therapy less daunting, she really listens and takes her time with you. She has a wide variety of expertise that allows her to tap into disregarded emotions and guide you through your baggage.
I highly recommend Dontrell Turner as a therapist. She's knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. I'm glad we were matched and will continue sessions with her!
Working with Dontrell has been great! She listens, challenges my thinking and offers suggestions to help me become unstuck!
Dontrell Turner is a great listener. She's professional yet funny, skillful in social interactions but also genuine and kind. She carefully listens, responds thoughtfully and elaborates on my point precisely. Trell is amazing! I'm glad I got matched with her on my first try in therapy.
Trell is always prepared for our meetings. I like how she's able to recap my points prior to beginning our sessions. I have the ability to truly share my issues with her, free from judgement. I can see why she's an asset to the company. Highly recommend! BetterHelp is choosing amazing therapists.
She is very caring.
Dontrell has given me so many great tools to express my emotions in a positive manner. She listens, sets realistic goals, and she is motivational. I would recommend her and BetterHelp to anyone seeking therapy.
Trell was very helpful for me and easy to talk to. She really helped me to work through some of my anxiety’s and helped me to reflect and understand myself and the direction my life is heading.
Just Had My First Session With Her And I Alradu Feel So Much Better . I Strongly Recommend If You Want Somebody That Actually Cares And LISTENS To What You Have To Say
Dontrell is wonderful. I appreciate her objective insight and clarity. She's great at identifying parts of yourself you may forget to acknowledge. I highly recommend working with her.
Dontrelle is amazing!!!! Since I've been meeting with her, I'm satisfied with my progress. She listens, & gives the best advice. Everyday gets easier for me to cope with my grief.
Caring and compassionate. Really hears you and she is so comforting. Everything I need in a therapist.
Really enjoy that she listens to what you’re going through and gives great advice on the next step to take. She’s great at helping set goals and giving tools to help you achieve them. Her personality and work is excellent!
