Amy Turner

Therapist

Virtual • California


I was drawn to therapy because people often said I was a great listener and gave meaningful advice. What truly drives me is witnessing that lightbulb moment when a client realizes why certain patterns have shaped their life. Seeing my clients reach that understanding is what makes this work so rewarding.
