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. I have diverse experience, from urgent care and emergency medicine to working in private and public psychiatric care. 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.

If you landed here in efforts to gain supervision hours for licensure, I am also a Qualified Supervisor for registered interns in the state of Florida, in search of postgraduate supervision hours.  Why “handcrafted”? I believe there is both an art and science to therapy, and that it is courageous of you to pursue services to enhance your quality of life; therefore, your experience deserves to be handcrafted specifically to address your unique experiences and goals. I specialize in childhood trauma, whether we are engaging in retroactive work to heal the inner child as an adult, or processing concurrent circumstances as a child or adolescent. The foundational tenet of my practice is trauma-informed and my therapeutic approach is authentic, curious and non-judgmental. I bring compassion and energy to meet each of you exactly where you are in your journey. I also enjoy incorporating creativity and humor when appropriate.  My own story and spirituality inspire me to engage in this work; however, it is important to understand that I do not impose my personal beliefs, as I pride myself on professional boundaries and ethics.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing holistic psychiatric care using an integrative approach that is guided by compassion and empathy. My professional career has been dedicated to helping others. I have always had an interest in the brain and human behavior, earning degrees within psychology, special education, nursing, and psychiatric/mental health. With a diverse background spanning over two decades in public education and healthcare settings, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. Before working in healthcare, I worked with adolescents in the public education setting for nearly two decades where I conduced psycho-educational evaluations for children with emotional and learning differences, created individualized education plans, and served as a fierce advocate for students with special needs. Motivated to expand my scope and deepen my impact, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a focus on psychiatric and mental health from Wilkes University. During my 2-year residency as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for adolescents and adults, I honed my clinical skills and developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health disorders. I bring an easy-going demeanor and open-minded approach to my practice, ensuring every client feels comfortable and supported on their path to wellness. I look forward to connecting with you! Please note that I do not prescribe controlled substances to my telehealth clients.
