The Team
Lauren Turner, Psy.D.
Owner of TCW,
Licensed Psychologist,
RYT-500, Reiki Master
Throughout life, many of us will experience some sort of emotional issue. Some we can handle on our own, and others we may want to explore on a deeper level with a specialist. I look forward to working with those who are brave enough to face these issues head on, and to explore some of the underlying reasons why these issues have manifested.
In order to treat mental health, it is not enough to treat the mind alone. We are dynamic and multidimensional beings, and it is my belief that we cannot treat the mind without also considering the body and spirit as well. Aside from being a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I am also a 500 hour registered yoga teacher and reiki master, and tend to use a holistic approach to treatment. I may suggest yoga therapy techniques, meditation practices, or reiki energy healing as part of treatment, and have a strong focus on the mind-body connection.
I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, yoga therapy, bariatric evals, LGBTQ concerns, adjustment disorders, as well as testing and assessment (ADHD and PTSD Screenings, neuropsychological and psychological/personality testing with report).
As an expert in trauma and PTSD, I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified Clinician. I completed my training and supervision through the EMDR Institute, and became certified in 2015.
I work with teens, adults, and couples, and offer both in person and virtual sessions.

Sarah Muscolino, Psy.D. Postdoctoral Resident
In life we often find ourselves overcoming obstacles. Sometimes we can conquer these hardships ourselves and other times we require some additional support. It can be intimidating seeking professional help, but know that you are not alone. I'm here to accompany you on this path, providing support and guidance as you work towards your healing and well-being.
As a collaborative and empathetic clinical psychologist, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences together. Your journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring our treatment approach to your individual needs. Diversity is important to me, and I value working with individuals from various backgrounds. This allows me to gain a deeper understanding of your unique experiences and tailor our sessions to be culturally sensitive and relevant.
Currently, I have my Psy.D in Clinical Psychology and am completing my post doctoral residency. I offer both psychotherapy and psychological assessment services. My approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I believe in an integrated approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities to best suit your needs. Your treatment will be customized to ensure a successful outcome, as I recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all solution in therapy. I have experience treating a wide range of issues, including trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and substance use disorders.
You have the option to choose between in-office sessions and virtual sessions, providing flexibility to accommodate your preferences and lifestyle. Together, we will embark on a journey towards self-discovery, healing, and growth. Remember, seeking professional help is a sign of strength, and I'm honored to be a part of your transformative process.
I work with adults and couples, and offer both in person and virtual sessions. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).

Steven Olsen, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC)
After making the courageous decision to pursue therapy, the next step is to find a counselor that you connect with. I view empathy, trust, and being non-judgemental as the cornerstones of therapy and seek to provide a safe and welcoming space.

I have experience providing group and individual counseling across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and intensive in community levels of care to those with both substance use and mental health issues.

Natalie Germoso, Marriage & Family Therapist Associate (MS., LAMFT., NCC.)
Hello! My name is Natalie and I am a graduate of Rutgers University–New Brunswick, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Upon graduation I began to work in an urban school setting, where I obtained valuable experience working with underprivileged youth as well as first-time mothers. During this time, I was able to gain valuable experience with concerns that commonly impact women including domestic violence, body issues, anxiety, depression, as well as post-partum, and low self-esteem.
I am also a graduate of Walden University’s Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy program, where I have received hands on training in integrative, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness therapy. While completing my graduate coursework I have gained tremendous exposure by working with both groups and individuals from a variety of backgrounds and different walks of life. These experiences have cultivated a general interest in how our experiences shape our worldview and in turn how we experience life.
I am a firm believer that there is not one single approach that works for everyone and I’m excited to explore these options with those who are seeking change. I understand that no matter how “big” or “small” an issue maybe be, seeking help can be extremely difficult and therefore use an approach that is direct-yet compassionate. My goal as a therapist-in-training is to create a non-judgmental environment where you feel safe, and supported. I believe in a working partnership in which a strength-based approach is met with adaptability and flexibility. I admire all prospective clients in taking the initial step in seeking therapeutic services and hope to be able to assist you on your journey.
I work with teens, adults, and couples and offer virtual sessions.

Angela Bracey, Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)
Hello! My name is Angela and I want to thank you for prioritizing your mental health and wellness. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Adams State University. I also volunteer with the Crisis Text Line, a 24/7 free texting service, as a Crisis Counselor. I practice active listening and empathy to help texters deal with a range of issues from depression, anxiety, relationships issues, and suicidal ideation.
My power lies in my ability to listen to others with a non-judgmental ear as they discuss their struggles and hardships. It is rewarding to be able to serve others in this capacity.
I acknowledge that everyone will be in a different place in their lives, which affects their understanding of the world around them. I aim to instill in others that they have worth at every stage and encourage them to have compassion for themselves as they grow and heal.
Growth thrives in safe spaces, and I am passionate about creating a welcoming environment and maintaining a compassion-focused and client-centered interaction. My role is not to force desired outcomes but to guide you (at your own pace) on your journey by providing tools to build healthy habits. I want to help you identify the roots of feelings, honor your emotions and practice safe coping mechanisms.
Change does not occur overnight, but with commitment and accountability on both ends, we can get there together.
I look forward to collaborating with you!

Irmak Dagistanli, Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)
I believe one of the most essential things in life is for a person to know themselves deeply. This is not exclusive to either the so-called “good” or “bad” parts of ourselves, but rather involves taking inventory of all parts to be able to see the whole picture accurately. Whether it be learning to trust others, setting stronger boundaries, or gaining more self-compassion, I will support you as you work towards growth that will transcend itself outside of the therapy session.
We will collaborate together to develop a treatment plan that works best for your needs, incorporating various elements of psychoeducation, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and existential psychotherapy. My approach is straightforward yet warm, and I aim to cultivate a non-judgmental environment where you are encouraged to deeply explore your inner world.
I have experience working with groups and individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing issues of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, and co-occurring addictions. Additionally, I have competency in third-cultural issues, understanding the complexities and nuances that come along with multicultural sensitivities.
I recognize taking this step might not be easy, and I really appreciate your courage. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards healing.
I work with teens, adults, and couples, and offers virtual therapy sessions.

Kelsey Minnitti, Administrative Assistant
Hi, I’m Kelsey!
Throughout my life, I’ve always been one to dedicate my time to others. Whether it be during my 10 years in the education field, or within my personal life. I’ve always been one to give, and the mental health care field, allows me to do just that! For as long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to work in an industry that was dedicated to helping others. So after having my first child, the transition just seemed like a good fit for my family and I. They say a smile is worth and thousand words, and I can’t wait to light up your day, even if it’s on your worst day. At Turner Counseling & Wellness, we are a team of lights. I will be the first smile you see when walking through the door. Or the first voice you hear when call us on the phone. I truly can’t wait to assist you in whatever you need. All you have to say is, “Hi, Kelsey!”
