About Lyndsey Murray

Hello! My name is Lyndsey Murray and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor & AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.

My Journey to Becoming ME

When I was in high school, my only goal was to get away and start my own life. And after graduation, that’s precisely what I did.

You see, my parents had just divorced, and I wasn’t sure where I fit in anymore. I figured it was a sign of the perfect time to create something new for myself.

I moved away for college. For me, college was more than classes and studying; there, I learned what genuine friendships are (and what they aren’t) and the many types of relationships I could have throughout my life.

Although it wasn’t always an easy transition, I carry the profound lessons I learned even today.

A Winding Path

A part of this journey was deciding what I wanted my major to be, and I’ll be honest – I had no damn clue! I got a degree in business simply because I heard it leads to wonderful career opportunities, so I stuck with it.

I landed a great position in Human Resources at an oil company in San Antonio, Texas. I quickly realized that while my title contained the word human, I wasn’t actually helping people in the way I preferred! I wanted a more direct impact, but how?

People close to me have struggled with addiction in the past, and I thought to myself, “If they received help, why can’t I be the one to provide that help to others?” This experience led me into the path of receiving my master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas in 2016.

When I initially heard rehabilitation, my first thought was an addiction. However, my master’s program focused heavily on rehabilitation for all disabilities, including mental illness and physical or cognitive impairment.

Through this learning process, I became a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the state of Texas and helped individuals with disabilities become employed. I now also have experience helping this population in higher education.

So how did I become a Couples Counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist?

The answer is plain and straightforward: curiosity!

No matter what job I have, I’ve always seen clients for therapy through it all. When I reflect on the sex education I received in school, I have nothing significant to say about it, and I’d imagine many others don’t either.

By combining my fascination for relationship dynamics, my STRONG belief that couples can save their relationship, and the desire to help partners become lovers again, I continued my education and am now a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). I now focus my practice on sexuality to become a better therapist and educator for my clients.

I’ve also had to do my own exploration of what kind of sex I like and what type of relationship I prefer. I’ve been through many experiences, including the trauma of being sexually assaulted.

I’m now proud to say I’m in a healthy relationship through my healing, but it took me years of exploration to get where I am now. If I can do this, then so can you!

To practice what I preach, I see a therapist regularly. I even use the skills I teach in my relationship because I know they work – I’ve seen them first-hand. I’ve changed how I communicate and react to the conflict to be a better partner and strengthen my bonds with others.

I can teach you, too.

I enjoy playing bar trivia for fun with my friends, listening to true crime podcasts, and traveling around the world when I can. A life goal of mine was to visit all 7 continents and I’m happy to say that in 2024, this is a goal I accomplished with my trip to Antarctica! I also have my skydiving license, so I figure if I can jump out of planes, I can talk about the uncomfortable parts of life, too.
