Licensed Psychologist (#1153)
Master Social Worker (#1505)
Hello
My name is Dr. Lequisha Turner and I am a licensed social worker and psychologist. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nebraska Omaha in 2010. As a clinical social worker, I supported families and children facing complex challenges. In 2023, I obtained my PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My doctoral training included three years of training with the UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI), where I provided autism, ADHD, and intellectual assessment across the lifespan. While at UNMC MMI, I also provided psychological services in school-based settings and multiple behavioral pediatrics clinics in the Omaha metro area.
My Story
As an Omaha native, I embrace my identities as a mother, sister, aunt, friend, cousin, and community member. My journey into behavioral health began with witnessing people struggling to meet their needs and their children’s needs due to a lack of culturally responsive therapeutic services. For over 15 years, I have worked to ensure all individuals have access to affordable, quality care. My therapeutic style is best described as compassionate, collaborative, and transparent. I strive to be nonjudgmental and open to feedback because, ultimately, I believe people are the experts of their own lives.
​
Both personal and professional experiences have helped me understand what it’s like to want better for yourself or your loved ones, yet not know the path to get there. I focus on helping individuals reach their personal goals by listening, supporting, and offering guidance. I also help individuals and families heal by disrupting intergenerational and collective trauma. Lastly, I attempt to ensure that neurodiverse children and young adults are supported in reaching their full potential. To do so, I use both evidence-based practices and traditional healing wisdom to meet each person’s unique needs.
