Abby Turner, MFT

Abby is a Marriage and Family Therapist working towards licensure. In addition to being a counselor, she is speaker and writer with a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Lancaster Bible College. Through her years as a counselor, her family’s experience being relief house parents at the Milton Hershey School, her role as a college and career counselor, and her own journey raising her two children, she has found God’s Word to be the most reliable source of guidance, instruction, and comfort. With Scripture as the foundation, Abby applies evidence-based principles of psychology to help couples, families, individuals and children flourish in a fractured world.

Abby enjoys working with children one on one and in the context of their family. She has a special passion to help children with brain differences find their unique strengths and build confidence through their identity in Christ. She also enjoys working with children and adults who have experienced trauma. She utilizes play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, emotion focused therapy, and talk therapy, integrating art as clients desire. She also loves to incorporate animal assisted therapy with her dog, Whit.

In her spare time, Abby loves to run and hike, garden, read historical fiction, and practice writing, art and music. She finds inspiration in the beauty and creativity of nature, whether at the beach or in the mountains. She also enjoys spending time with her husband and two children as well as other family members and friends.

Abby loves helping children, adults, couples and families thrive through gaining a fuller understanding of their unique identity and strengthening their relationships with God and one another.
