Getting to know Dr. Lynn Turner

With more than 30 years of experience in social work, I am an individual and couples therapist who also specializes in working with children and step-families. I integrate warmth, caring, challenge, and optimism into my therapy and leadership styles. Emotional healing and the Enneagram form the backbone of my work with clients and groups, integrated with cognitive and behavioral aspects as needed. I am an active participant in therapy, making suggestions, urging new choices, and teaching ways of understanding ourselves and our environment. In addition to individual sessions, I lead emotional healing groups for relationship issues, childhood sexual abuse, and weight concerns. The group dynamic allows for validation of emotions and reactions as well as the cognitive restructuring of old messages. Old emotional imprints and the resulting thoughts and reactivities are dissolved. New awareness of the “true” self emerges, and individuals begin to lead their lives differently. I am a PAIRS Master Teacher, having taught more than 20 PAIRS courses and completed three research projects on PAIRS. As a researcher, I have an intense interest in how the brain functions and the nature of consciousness, taking classes and attending conferences on these subjects. I encourage my clients to integrate mind, body, and spirit through knowledge and practice. I initiated the community offering Healthcare Discovery Series, a monthly lecture on healthful options. I have been published in professional journals and present at professional conferences yearly. I am a board member of the United States Association of Body Psychotherapists. I hold a PhD and a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Catholic University of America, and a Bachelor's degree from Hollins University.
