About Elizabeth Turner

Life can feel overwhelming when your emotions seem to be running the show, your mind won’t slow down, or you’re carrying the weight of experiences that no one else seems to understand. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating: anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and neurodivergent adults as they build lives that feel authentic, connected, and meaningful.

If any of these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone: “I’m tired of pretending I’m okay.” “Why can’t I just feel good enough?” “My brain never turns off.” These are some of the most common struggles I hear from the people I work with. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or like you’re carrying more than anyone realizes, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and build the tools to help you move forward with more confidence and self-compassion.

Together, we’ll work to understand your emotions instead of fighting them. We’ll identify patterns that keep you stuck, build practical coping skills, and help you develop healthier relationships— with yourself and with the people around you. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone different; it’s about learning to respond to life’s challenges with greater confidence, self-compassion, and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique experiences. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotion regulation and develop coping skills. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, along with Motivational Interviewing (MI) to explore your goals and support meaningful change at your own pace.
Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, processing trauma, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I’d be honored to support you as you take the next step. Please reach out via email for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
