Lauren Turnball
LMFT 86017, Owner
I’m so glad you’re here.
My journey as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist has been an incredible 20+ years of helping individuals and families find balance, healing, and hope. I began my own therapy journey when I was 10 for family therapy, continued in individual therapy as an adult and (thankfully) found a partner who has gone to couples counseling with me as we have created our family.
I believe finding the best therapist is a blend of education & personal connection. I am open to sharing what I’ve learned along my journey as well as research based strategies to support your goals and your growth.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.
Together, we can create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with strength and resilience.

I can empathize with what you are going through
As a Mom: finding out I’m pregnant, multiple miscarriages, medical complications, and all the things related to feeding a baby... Then taking all the trainings and certifications then learning how to actually apply the information in real life, I am better positioned to help you reach a feeling of peace and contentment.
As a Partner : it is incredibly complex to join two people from two different backgrounds and life experiences to create a cohesive, happy home (especially when you're trying to add another little human into the mix). I provide concrete, practical tools and skills to help you navigate the challenges that you're facing. I have complete;y fallen in love with the tools of the Gottman Method. It's achievable and I’ve been able to apply them to so many different situations and areas of my life (marriage included).
With Addictions: I have learned the patterns that it creates and the reality that it distorts through 20+ years of working side by side with people struggling. I have worked in various levels of care from attending community 12 step meetings, Outpatient care, Intensive Outpatient, Residential and Detox. I have built family programs for residential centers to support the loved ones that have been collateral damage to the unsatisfying appetite that addiction creates. I have truly seen this from every angle which gives me a unique clarity and I am now able to share with others who are still in the throws.

Testimonials
"I started working with Lauren when I found out I was pregnant with my second child. I had previously dealt with PPD after the birth of my first child, so I wanted to make sure I was taking steps to help me through my second pregnancy and birth. Lauren was amazing! She listened to me, and I really felt like she cared about me as a person, as well as a client. I trusted her as I was able to open up to her about a lot of grief and loss I had experienced in my past. I will always be grateful to Lauren for everything she did for me!"
Testimonials
"Lauren was attentive and truly cared. She really understood what I was going through during postpartum and gave me tools to cope with my situation. To this day, I still use strategies she suggested. My overall quality of life improved after receiving perspective from her"
Testimonials
"I was very nervous to start therapy again when I met Lauren, and she helped me to understand the importance of working through and talking about my past traumas
and situations"
Testimonials
"I felt truly seen and able to let my true self out. I always felt like the conclusions I came to were things I knew deep down. She asked the perfect questions instead of telling me what or how I feel. Since therapy, I listen to my intuition more and embrace the challenges of life. I see myself as a growing person on a journey and I recognize the work I’ve put in to heal with her help"
