Episode 57 | Linda Turner | Permission to Shift & Grow with Your Practice

FEATURED GUEST:  Linda Turner, LCAT, ATR-BC has been a NYC based Art Psychotherapist for 20 years. She is also a mixed media artist and painter, who prior to a mid life career change was a home products and textile designer.

Over the past 10 years Linda concurrently ran a half time Private Practice while working as an Adjunct Assistant Professor / Career Counselor at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She recently left to move in to full time art psychotherapy and coaching practice, to work less and to spend more time creating art.

During the first 10 years as an Art Therapist, Linda was hired to introduce art therapy into a collaborative program between the DoE and Catholic Charities, a program that assisted underserved youth in obtaining their GED diplomas. She entered as a part time employee and ultimately became a clinical supervisor. She worked for the Chinatown YMCA after 9/11, also introducing art therapy services to this population, and at the Creative Center doing art with adult cancer patients. Linda served on the board of the NY Coalition of Creative Arts Therapies (NYCCAT) for seven years.

With a commitment to life long learning, Linda has a Certificate from Kint Institute in Trauma and Creative Arts Therapies, is level 3 AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), Level 1 IFS (Internal Family Systems), has a Certificate in ISP (Integral Somatic Psychotherapy) and has trained with CTI (Coaches Training Institute).

Linda lives in Brooklyn with her partner and their 2 cats; while currently working virtually, she cannot wait to get back to her office in the Union Sq area of NYC.
