Chris Turpyn, LPC

Life is truly a journey of adventure, reward, and at times, intense challenge. I became a therapist because my own experience in therapy helped me through my darkest of days. My approach is warm, strengths-based, and empowering. I walked into therapy broken and came out the other side committed to being that person for someone else. I became a licensed therapist so that I could use my life perspective to help others. I feel honored every day to be able to walk with clients on their path to healing.

I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, grief, eating disorders and those hoping to have a better relationship with food or their bodies. In our work together, I will help you gain an understanding of connections between your thoughts and behaviors. This will allow you to gain perspective, and self esteem as we tap into your strengths and develop new coping skills.

I also have a special interest in working with individuals with all types of grief… death, pregnancy loss, infertility, breakups, life transitions. There is so much more to grief than death. It can show up in many different ways in our lives.  Some grief we never “get over” but we can learn to continue to carry it with us.

I utilize a person-centered and strength-based therapeutic approach, tailoring sessions to meet each person’s individual needs. I understand that overwhelming feeling of meeting with a therapist for the very first time and feeling as though what happened during that one session could greatly impact my road to recovery. My goal is to create an environment in which clients can share freely and be positively impacted by feeling valued and heard. I strive to connect with each client through humor, respect, and work diligently to build mutual trust. I honor each person’s unique journey and look forward to meeting you!
