Darletta Turner opened Progressive Community Initiatives at 7 N. Main St. in Akron. The business offers mental health and behavioral health counseling for individuals and families and counseling education for providers.
Turner accepts patients with private insurance as well as those who have Medicare and Medicaid, she said. Born and raised in Akron, Turner earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and master’s degree in community counseling from the University of Akron. She is finishing her doctorate degree in counselor education supervision from Walden University.“I was raised in Children’s Services. I grew up in the system and this is my way of giving back,” she said.
“In alignment with Opportunity Akron and the Elevate Greater Akron Strategy, the program encourages new business growth with an emphasis on businesses owned by women and people of color. The program, which began in 2015 as the Pop-Up Retail Program, has brought 18 businesses to downtown over six grant cycles,” Caruso said.
