Does this sound familiar?

  • Do you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them?
  • Do stress, overwhelm, or burnout make it hard to feel present in your life?
  • Do anger, shame, or perfectionism get in the way of your relationships or your own peace of mind?
  • Are you moving through a transition or identity shift and wondering who you are on the other side?
  • Are you wanting to heal from unresolved childhood wounds, trauma, or grief?
  • Are you wanting more connection and meaning in relationships and daily life?

Whether your symptoms show up as exhaustion, conflict, or just that quiet sense that “something has to change,” therapy offers a path forward.

I Can Help.

I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface and create lasting change. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what keeps you stuck, explore the needs that have gone unmet, and build new ways of responding with clarity and intention.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Slow down and notice your emotional triggers
  • Break cycles of anger, shame, or disconnection
  • Manage stress and burnout with tools that actually work
  • Build deeper, more authentic relationships
  • Move toward a life that feels freer, more grounded, and aligned with who you truly are

What can you expect?

  • A warm, collaborative space where you’ll feel supported but also challenged to grow.
  • A balance of insight and practical skills you can carry into your daily life.
  • A chance to laugh, reflect, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt hidden or stuck.

 


 

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a career counselor in higher education, where I helped students and professionals navigate transitions, clarify their goals, and find meaningful next steps. I also spent time in the military and environmental science fields, experiences that deepened my perspective on resilience, identity, and change.

In therapy, I draw from Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and attachment-based approaches to help you not just cope, but transform the way you understand and live your story.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m often at the forge shaping steel into useful tools. The process requires patience, attention, and care — qualities I also bring into my work as a therapist.

I bring honesty, care, and a collaborative spirit to our work—creating a space where real growth can happen.

  • Do you have a vision for how you want your life to be, but keep coming across barriers you can’t seem to cross?

I Can Help.

  • Most importantly, I strive to make a space where you feel supported in what you want to work on, even if that is figuring out where to start. No one is a better expert about your life than you.
  • From experience with individual and relationship counseling to big-picture systems and culture, I work to understand the whole picture of you. All parts of us have wisdom.
  • In sessions, I tend to combine listening and empathy with a level of structure, information, and practice at a pace that works for you. Our nervous systems often already know what they need to heal.

    What can you expect?

  • A nonjudgmental space that helps you feel seen and heard, empowering you towards the directions you want to move.
  • An increased ability to cope with stress or discomfort via greater self-compassion with the ways your body works to keep you safe.

I work with a wide range of clients in individual and relationship counseling, especially those dealing with aspects of change or transition in their life including (but not limited to) identity, faith or spirituality, sexuality, gender identity, career or education, and relationships. As a queer person raised in Utah, I have personal and professional experience in these topics. I hold a Master of Social Work from Portland State University, and my theoretical approaches include Internal Family SystemsTherapy (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Interpersonal Neurobiology, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Colleen Turner, LCSW

I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can share your story and experience authentic self-compassion, collaboration, and empowerment.

My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, as I believe every human who truly wants to change their lives has the capacity to cultivate that change.  Sometimes, we need the help of others to identify our strengths, reclaim ourselves, and guide us towards the lives we desire.  I work with individuals navigating life transitions, grief & loss (humans & pets), relationship
challenges, and eating disorders (yourself or supporting a loved one).  I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward the life you want to live.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, I’m here to help you feel heard, seen, and supported.
