Narrative Therapists in 33486

Looking to transform your life’s narrative, enhance your relationships, or redefine your happiness? I’m Lindsay Turner, a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping you turn these aspirations into reality. Specializing in guiding adolescents, individuals, and couples, our sessions are more than just addressing challenges – they’re about crafting the life you’ve always imagined. Whether you’re an adolescent finding your path, an individual rediscovering strengths, or a couple seeking deeper connections, our work together is designed to make these dreams come true.

In our counseling journey, I invite you to share your burdens, struggles, and dreams, knowing that together, we'll uncover your past strengths while cultivating new ones. With a background in Communications and Nursing, I bring a diverse wealth of experience and knowledge into our sessions, laying a solid foundation for our work together. Drawing from evidence-based research and a spectrum of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy, person-centered counseling, and motivational interviewing.

If you notice the same conflicts replaying in your relationships, patterns that tend to sneak up in every relationship despite your efforts to change, feel "stuck" and desire change, therapy can help. I assist my clients in developing understanding of self within the context of their family of origin/cultural/racial and other lived experiences to help them untangle some of the ineffective dynamics and dysfunctional patterns. Through our work, we will aim to challenge patterns that no longer serve you and identify how to incorporate some changes that will help you feel more fulfilled in your life and relationships.

Are you feeling sad or anxious for a specific reason, or no reason at all? Do you feel generally unfulfilled where you are in life? Is your child struggling with depression or anxiety as they navigate the challenges of high-school? These are some of the common issues I address with my clients. I am here to listen and create a plan together that will assist you in achieving growth and positivity in your life. We will meet in a safe, supportive, confidential environment with the aim to facilitate the change you desire.

I do free consultations with clients and instant online scheduling because getting help shouldn't wait for a call back. I am here for you, to walk along side you or your family through the toughest moments. We will laugh together, cry together, and heal together. Most importantly, we will grow together.

Depression often feels crushing; as if we are stuck in the past. The pressure of anxiety can feel as if we are stuck in the "what if" of the future. I would like to help you become more present and mindful. We are often told what we are "supposed" to do, but don't know what we want from this life. I help individuals, families, and couples solve longstanding problems, clarify values, and build on strengths to navigate life's challenges more purposefully and effectively. Changing problematic patterns in our lives is critical to increasing contentment. We cannot change our stories, but we can change our relationship to them.

My expertise is helping adults with chronic anxiety and/or depression, and/or grief feel better. My clients are adults who are competent and skilled in many ways, but not in healing their own spiraling fears and emotional pain. With investment in the therapy process, my clients learn to quiet self-criticism, and calm themselves when distressed. They feel more competent in relationship, and they navigate conflicts more skillfully. Daily life is more satisfying. They value themselves and honor what they bring to the world. They feel more hopeful about their future - even if it's not the future they once imagined for themselves.

As a therapist, my specialization lies in working with individuals who are queer, neurodivergent, and have experienced trauma. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective and reject the deficit model of mental health. With training in CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. ​ I am a firm believer in social justice and have a history of working in LGBTQ services and advocacy. I recognize the importance of exploring and embracing all aspects of identity, and strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to do so.
