Sera Turgut, M.Ed., NCC, LPC, completed her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of West Georgia, and she is fully licensed and board certified at the national and state level.
Sera’s approach is to provide holistic care that focuses on three components of good health—the mind, body, and spirit. Instead of simply tolerating, slowing the progression of, or suppressing symptoms of illness, the purpose of therapy is to promote healing by treating the root causes. Through education, skills, emotional connection, and lifestyle changes, Sera believes people can reclaim their health and regain control over their own wellbeing, and her goal is that her clients leave therapy feeling self-empowered and resilient. Her passion is for helping clients transform themselves, their relationships, and their lives, and for helping those who seek relief and recovery from codependent and toxic relationships.
