About Albemarle Counseling – Charlottesville, Virginia

Albemarle Counseling is a behavioral health facility located in a quiet corner of suburban Charlottesville, Virginia. They treat people for substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They also treat people who have both a mental health condition and addiction struggles.

They take insurance and self-pay. All sessions are offered over telehealth and you must sign a telehealth agreement before receiving therapy. They’ll provide you with an evaluation to determine the best course of therapy for you. However, you should know that this is not a medical clinic, and they do not provide psychiatric testing.

You will have individual therapy sessions with John Penn Turner, a certified counselor. Mr. Turner has extensive experience in treating substance use disorder that dates back to the 1990s. He began his career working with impatient clients with addiction issues. He is also licensed as a substance abuse treatment practitioner. He is certified as an ADS Acu-Detox Specialist.

Turner is certified in several different types of treatment, including the Braddock Body Process. You will be taught tai chi movements and breathing exercises. The exercises will teach you about physical and emotional balance and finding your inner core. That way, you can clear your mind and relax when stress hits.

Turner is also certified in accelerated resolution therapy, or ACT. This type of treatment aims to change the way traumatic memories are stored in your brain. The therapist guides you to remember positive images when thinking of the traumatic event. You will choose the positive images yourself. This can be done in a single session.

You’ll sign a therapy agreement when you sign up for treatment. You must agree to be open and honest about your thoughts and feelings during therapy. You must also agree to refrain from contacting the staff via social media.
