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 I am alongside you throughout this journey.
After relocating from North Alabama to Mobile several years ago, I started Balanced Life Counseling, LLC in 2019 to best serve my clients in an active and authentic way.​​​
​
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 likely rooted in the view of our experiences. Taking steps to shift our perspective will not change the experience itself, but can change the perception and impact of the experience. ​​​​​​​​​​​
​
I particularly enjoy working with individuals who could be described in an alternative, taboo, spiritual, or eclectic way. ​​​
​
I believe a person should be able to explore topics of trauma, sex, kink, death, sexual orientation/identity, postpartum issues, and other areas, without the concern of judgement or shame. I dedicate myself to providing an understanding and accepting space, free from shame and judgement to explore any topic.​​
My belief as a counselor is rooted in the love and passion 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 as a counselor is to help my clients honor their complexities while gaining balance in life. ​​​
