MEET RAYNE

RAYNE TURNAGE, LCSWA
Psychotherapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate

If it feels like your mind never slows down, you’re second-guessing yourself, or you’re wondering if you’re good enough, you’re not alone.

Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, comparing yourself to other people, or worry about disappointing others. School, work, relationships, family stress, or a recent breakup may have left you feeling anxious, tired, or unsure of yourself. You may feel like you’re carrying a lot.

Things you used to enjoy don’t feel the same, and you may not have the words to explain what’s wrong. You just know you don’t want to keep feeling this way.

If you’re a parent, you may have noticed changes in your teen, and not really sure how to help. Therapy offers a supportive place where they can talk openly, feel understood, and begin building the confidence and emotional skills to get through life.

My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to pretend everything is okay. Together, we’ll make sense of those things that feel heavy, quiet the overthinking, build confidence, and help you develop practical tools for handling life’s challenges. We’ll also work on managing anxiety and difficult emotions, improving communication, strengthening relationships, and creating healthier ways to respond when life feels overwhelming.

As we work together, you’ll gain a better understanding of yourself – your strengths, your patterns, and what’s been keeping you stuck. My hope is that you’ll leave therapy not only feeling better, but also trusting yourself more and believing you’re capable of handling whatever comes next.

I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults because these years come with so many changes, pressures, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed. My approach is warm and collaborative. You are the focus and sessions are tailored to your specific needs. I believe real change happens when you feel genuinely understood, and I’m committed to creating a space where you can grow, heal, and become more confident in yourself, one step at a time.

Professional Background…
Over the years I have supported youth, adults, and families through emotional, behavioral, and life stressors. Through school-based and outpatient settings, my experience includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation challenges, communication styles, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Morgan State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate.

Personally…
Outside of therapy, I enjoy roller skating, traveling, watching a good TV show, and spending time with family and friends. My faith keeps me grounded, as well as genuine relationships and moments of reflection and gratitude.
