Lindsey Turner Therapy is a sex therapy-centered practice, helping couples and individuals strengthen their intimate bonds and assist those facing sexual challenges in regaining their confidence. The majority of the individuals we work with are in their twenties and thirties, ready to tackle various challenges in their lives, including self-assurance, anxiety, relationships, trust, women's and men’s issues, body image, sexual concerns, and trauma. We provide a welcoming and non-judgmental environment to reclaim your pleasure or desires and address anxieties through individual therapy, sex, and couples therapy.
Lindsey is a licensed in NY, NJ, and CT, and received her degree from Columbia University. She is certified in Sex Therapy through Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, where I received hundreds of hours of advanced coursework in human sexuality, relational dynamics, sexual health, and evidence-based interventions.
Lindsey's therapeutic goal is to engage everyone I work with in honest, open, yet challenging conversation. Her approach encourages clients to practice mindfulness and adopt a solution-focused mindset. Please reach out for a 15-minute phone consultation today!
