A lot of young men grow up getting the message that they're supposed to have it handled — keep it together, don't make it a big deal, figure it out on your own. So when anxiety, anger, low motivation, or just feeling lost starts piling up, reaching out for help can feel like the last thing they'd want to do. If that's you, or if you're a parent watching your son struggle and shut down, I get it — and I can help.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I work primarily with teenage boys and young men. I've spent years working with guys in some of the hardest settings there are — residential treatment, high-acuity programs, and intensive work helping young men take an honest look at their choices, their patterns, and who they want to become. That experience taught me how to actually connect with someone who doesn't necessarily want to be in therapy, and how to make this feel less like a lecture and more like a real conversation.

My style is warm but direct, and I don't think therapy has to be heavy or stiff to work. I'll meet you exactly where you are — no judgment, no pressure to have it figured out — and we'll get into the real stuff at a pace that feels right. I also work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and figuring out who they are, bringing that same grounded, real presence to the work.

Dr. Katherine Turner

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I’m a licensed psychologist with a background in developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and trauma-informed care. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, brain injury, work-related stress, grief, and difficult life transitions.

I earned my PhD in psychology from Stanford University and have spent much of my career at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, teaching, and clinical care. That background has taught me to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person, including your experiences, relationships, health, environment, strengths, and the ways you’ve learned to cope.
