3 John 1:2

Balanced behavior refers to actions, decisions, and responses that demonstrate a harmonious and well-adjusted approach in various aspects of life. It involves maintaining a sense of equilibrium, moderation, and thoughtful consideration in one's conduct. Balanced behavior typically reflects an individual's ability to navigate and manage different situations without excessive reactions or extremes.In interpersonal relationships, balanced behavior might involve effective communication, empathy, and compromise. In professional settings, it could entail a combination of assertiveness, collaboration, and adaptability. Emotionally balanced behavior is often associated with the ability to manage stress, handle challenges, and maintain a stable emotional state. 

Overall, balanced behavior implies a holistic and measured approach to life, where individuals strive to find a middle ground, avoiding extremes and adapting appropriately to diverse circumstances. Each person requires a different therapeutic approach. Dr. Turner assures that she will employ an eclectic approach. These approaches include Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Crisis Intervention, as well as person centered and strengths-based perspectives. These approaches, amongst many others, are essential to gaining an in-depth understanding of self, thoughts, feelings, and how those impact your behavior.
