How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Hi, I’m Leigh (pronounced Lee). I’m a clinical social worker based in Honolulu, HI and licensed in all 50 states. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. CBT helps clients recognize that it’s not necessarily the things that happen to us that cause us to struggle, but how we think about these things. When we learn that our first reactions to difficult subjects may be limiting, we can work to change and grow our perspectives. Subsequently, this allows us to feel differently and cope in more helpful ways. As a therapist who loves to travel, I’ve lived in many places in the US (including the Southeast, DMV, Midwest, PNW, and now Hawaii) and have traveled extensively outside the US. I strive to understand cultures I’m not familiar with and have been honored to learn and hold space for clients from many different walks of life. I enjoy working with clients to meet their goals. I view therapy as an active process, where my clients learn skills and tools that allow them to achieve their goals and flourish in their lives. My goal is for you to learn how to be your own therapist and successfully graduate from therapy with this knowledge and practice.

Hello! I'm Laura Turk, and I'm deeply committed to helping you on your journey to better health. With over two decades of experience as a nurse and advanced practice nurse, I focus on treating the whole person. My practice is rooted in evidence-based medicine and the gestalt that comes from deep listening. I truly believe in the healing power of building strong, collaborative relationships with my patients.

My training allows me to draw from a wide range of experiences, from wellness and preventative care to treatment of acute and chronic conditions. I hold certifications as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Outside of direct care, I enjoy educating others. I have given talks on nutrition, heart health, and altitude sickness, among other topics. When not at work, I am usually spending time with my family, working on our farm, mountain biking or cooking. My goal is to empower each of my patients to take charge of their health and wellbeing. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve your health goals. Treatment philosophy: My treatment philosophy revolves around treating each patient as a whole, unique individual. I believe in creating a welcoming and collaborative environment where patients feel empowered in their healthcare journey. I integrate the physical, mental, and social aspects of health into every treatment plan. I prioritize clear communication and education to assure we are meeting your healthcare goals, not mine. My broad range of experiences allows me to provide comprehensive care tailored to each person's needs. Together, we will explore pathways to better health, promoting wellness and preventative measures along the way. I’m here to support you.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, even humorous insights to help you reach your goals. My role is to be there to guide you, encourage you, maybe even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, cancer and other terminal diagnosis, grief/loss and major life changes including growing older and adjusting to new normals. There is no better time to prioritize your mental health! Send me an email to schedule an introductory call.
