BALANCED LIFE COUNSELING, LLC
MEGAN TURNER, MS, LPC, NCC
​​​Licensed Professional Counselor | National Certified Counselor
Hello - I'm so glad you're here!
Counseling can be vulnerable, uncomfortable, & challenging; yet also amazing, expansive, & understanding - I acknowledge all of this while we go through this journey towards balance.
After relocating from North Alabama to Mobile 8+ years ago, I started Balanced Life Counseling, LLC to actively and authentically serve clients. ​​​
​
Throughout my years of experience, I continue to expand my view and understanding of people. At the core, I believe each of us are 'many parts to a whole' - with who we are, rooted in the view of our experiences. Taking steps to shift our perspective will not change the experience itself, but can change our perception and impact of the experience. ​​​​​​​​​​​
​
I particularly enjoy working with individuals who could be described in an alternative, taboo, spiritual, or eclectic way. Those who feel they may not connect well with a "tv style" therapist. ​​​
​
I believe a person should be able to explore any and every aspect without the concern of judgement or shame. I dedicate myself to providing an understanding and accepting space to dive into topics of ​trauma, sex, kink, death, body image, life adjustments, postpartum topics, sexual orientation/identity, and other areas.
My belief is rooted in the passion, humor, and love to help my clients gain individualized skills in a safe and accepting space. This belief includes acknowledging the complexities we have as humans. My goal is to help my clients honor their complexities while also gaining balance in their life. ​​​
