*Online Therapy Only* Hello! My name is Jazrael Turner and I am a Licensed Therapist. I am the Owner/Founder of Adjust Your Crown Healing Center LLC. We believe in supporting young adults and college students with learning to live their best lives, in both confidence of self and in healing. We support our clients to better manage anxiety, improve relationships with others and themselves. As black female therapists, we specialize in working with young black women in private practice around issues related to racial identity, racial trauma, relationships, boundaries and empowerment. We believe therapy is a team approach and we support our clients with support to identify and utilize healthy coping skills to better manage mental health struggles
My style of therapy is very laid back, as I believe comfort is the most important part of the therapy process. In order to discuss difficult topics or begin to work towards goals, there has to be a strong therapeutic relationship. I begin to build this relationship by getting to know my client's personalities, family structure, work life, friendships, etc. Once I get to know you, I can better understand patterns, coping skills, and/or emotions that may be occurring in response to stressors. I also am very client-centered and will tailor the therapy process around what is best for each client. Everyone is different and that means that therapy will look different for each person.
In these *trying times*, you want a therapist who can do more than just talk. Creative arts therapies build us up and give us a light in the darkness when you want to build new skills to cope with difficult feelings, find courage to live a life that aligns with your values, or simply want to use creative expression as a way to explore your emotional landscape. Whether you're tackling changes in your living situation, deciding how to manage relationships with family members whose words and actions are causing pain, or learning new skills to move through periods of big emotions, I create a therapy space dedicated to witnessing and supporting you as we cocreate create a plan to keep you safer and more present in your everyday life. My approach to care is strengths-first and values-driven to promote personal agency and build skills that you can use to be more present and satisfied in your life. Using flexible approaches from acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and more, we can focus on short-term goals like handling stress as an adult learner returning to school, building new community when you're away from home for the first time, or exploring a new identity in a safe and curious space. The journey is yours, and I'm here to support you through it. Reach out for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. I have immediate availability on weekdays and evenings for telehealth sessions for clients located in Pennsylvania. For folks needing lower-rate therapy, sliding scale rates are available. Sometimes, you just need a place to exist without judgement. Sometimes, that “place” is telehealth with Kas Burok.
Can you imagine what it would be like to turn the volume down on your anxiety? Anxiety is an essential part of our lives — it can keep us safe, healthy, and motivated. However there are times when our bodies can start to feel anxious, or we can be flooded with anxious thoughts and the worry is no longer helpful to us. If anxiety and anxious behaviors have started to feel like they are taking over your life, then you are in the right place. My approach is grounded in a collaborative, client-centered framework. Together, we will identify and address the specific fears and compulsions that impact your daily life. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and board-certified art therapist (ART-BC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I provide trauma-informed care for adults struggling with anxiety and OCD. I use the evidence-based practice of exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in gaining control over their anxiety. Anxiety and OCD are greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in our society. Often, our thoughts and behaviors can leave us feeling isolated and ashamed. I aim to build trust, allowing you to explore and confront difficult emotions and situations at a pace that feels right for you.
My therapeutic philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that you know yourself best, and it is my passion as a therapist to provide you with the space to collaboratively explore as well as make meaning out of your own unique life experiences. I am dedicated to fostering an authentic and supportive relationship with my clients in order to promote awareness, empowerment and growth. I have training and experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders & eating disorders. My approach is versatile, integrative and individually tailored to my clients' unique goals. I utilize methodologies and techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Narrative and Experiential Therapies, as well as mindfulness. In my work, I have found that working from a strengths-based perspective and using humor is helpful in meeting my clients exactly where they are in this often daunting process, highlighting their resiliency and motivating them to continue working towards a more fulfilling life.
Great to meet you! My area of specialty is working with young children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and conduct behavioral and eating disorders. Over the past five years, I have been providing therapeutic services to young children and their families, assisting them with addressing behavioral issues, and mental health concerns, resolving conflicts, and breaking generational curses (trauma). A bit about my approach to therapy As a licensed psychotherapist, I focus on the six areas of personal development: spiritual, mental, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social. The foundation of my work involves using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT) and Person-Centered to help guide clients to eliminate unwanted behaviors and replace them with the healthy behaviors they desire. My passion is to empower children and their families and help them overcome any unwanted obstacles, increase self-awareness, promote healthy communication, and establish healthy coping skills. What you can expect from our first session To create self-independence and eliminate unhealthy coping skills and modify them with healthy coping skills.

Being a student is a tough time of transition. There are alot of feelings that are swirling around, along with having to "stay on top of all of your academics and/or sports". For many students, it is the first time living without parents/guardians. You have to deal with faculty, and manage expectations from others as well as yourself. College life can be fun, but at the same time very stressful! Sometimes the stress causes other problems to pop up that you have not had to deal with before, or perhaps you did, but on a manageable level. Counseling can be an opportunity to talk through alot of these frustrations, and challenges. It can be a time to also find out about other resources in the world that can be helpful. Either way, it is YOUR time to figure out what would be helpful, and to get it! Reach out to Rays of Hope, we are eager to assist you during this time! PLEASE NOTE: I ALSO have office hours in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. which is right outside of Phila. near City Line Avenue.

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME! All my life I have believed that a person needs to be the change they want to see in the world. Thus I am opening my own practice where people are free to learn, to grow, to express themselves freely and without judgement about whatever ails them. This could be daily life struggles of riding public transportation, or more philosophical questions about the meaning of life, and everything in between. All it takes to start is the willingness to have a conversation. I take a trauma focused, client first approach which makes getting that conversation started even easier! With having a DECADE of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in structural cognitive reality therapy as a certified trauma therapist. Thus I'm able to adapt and match my counseling style to serve a variety of clients, ranging from anxiety to depression to more complicated mood and behavioral disorders, such as bipolar and schizophrenia. Every journey starts with the first step. Let your first step be reaching out to me and seeing if I can help with whatever ails you. Everyone could benefit from having a life coach in their corner. Let me be yours.
I received my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Bryn Mawr College in 1995, and have been a therapist since that time. I have been in private practice in State College since 2006. My approach to therapy is diverse; I tend to practice from primarily interpersonal and psychodynamic perspectives, although I also draw from cognitive-behavioral paradigms. I see my role as provider of a safe and supportive environment in which to help individuals become more aware of the multiple aspects of themselves. A main component of the therapy consists of understanding how each person’s ‘story’ impacts who they are, and affects the difficulties they presently face. Clients are encouraged to consider their readiness for change as well as options for change that are both meaningful and realistic to them.
Are you struggling with addictive or compulsive behaviors? Is depression, anxiety or panic taking you over? I can help.

As a professional Mental Health Counselor, I’m deeply committed to supporting the well-being of all my clients by making lasting improvements in their lives’ and providing hope for change. Using research-based techniques and practical problem solving skills I work alongside clients to develop goals and restore balance. Together, we will explore ways to improve relationships and to achieve your full life’s potential.
