Richard Turnham, LPC-S, LADC-S
I’m Richard Turnham, owner of Authentic Counseling Services. With 17 years of counseling experience, I help individuals, couples, and families work through relationship struggles, addiction, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I offer in-person counseling in Tulsa and video sessions for clients physically located in Oklahoma.
My approach to counseling
You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them. I take time to learn your story, understand what matters to you, and explore the experiences and coping patterns that shape your life. Together, we connect that understanding with practical ways to respond differently.
My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I draw on cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches, adapting our work to your needs and goals. There is room for both deeper reflection and concrete steps you can practice between sessions.
Individuals, couples, and families
I help couples understand recurring conflict, communicate more clearly, and work on trust and closeness. My addiction experience also informs my work with people seeking recovery and with spouses, parents, and other loved ones navigating boundaries and difficult decisions. You can seek support even if your loved one is not ready to participate.
I welcome people of all faiths and no faith. Christian perspectives can be included at your request.
