Teletherapy for California

All are welcome to reach out. I offer a free 35 minute intro session, I invite you to email me to schedule a time. I specialize in Trauma, Relationship Challenges, Suicide, Emotion Regulation, Anxiety, Cultural Challenges, Work Challenges & Eating Disorders. My current work & previous experience includes: NASA, DEIB Specialist (Current); Berklee College of Music Boston, Resident Director (2023); University at Buffalo, Assistant Director of Counseling (2020-21). Dartmouth, Research Coord. (2020). Cornell University, Psychologist (2016-2019).

I specialize in working with individuals grappling with the chaos of out-of-control behaviors or the weight of unresolved trauma. They are in search of a sanctuary where truth serves as the cornerstone, and the journey to self-discovery is honored. My role is to facilitate this exploration, to gently guide them through the unveiling of their true selves. As an LGBTQ2SIA+ affirming therapist, my commitment extends to providing a haven where inclusivity is not just a principle but a practice. Respect and dignity are the rights of all, transcending sexual orientation and gender identity.

I support LGBTQ+ youth and families explore their identities and relationships. I help couples facing challenges such as parenting, major life decisions, or exploring relationship structures, to understand one another's perspective and reconnect with their shared values. I have an accepting, collaborative approach and incorporate your feedback throughout the therapy process. My clients learn to identify and express their emotions and develop healthy coping skills. As a result, their self esteem and communication improve and they feel less overwhelmed.

Are you an emerging professional experiencing anxiety, relationship distress, or dissociation? Are you often hypervigilant, insecure or disconnected from your body? Do you feel you can't trust yourself? Are you aware of self-defeating behaviors, but can't seem to change them? You may have had a "late-in-life" diagnosis, realized your gender or even childhood weren’t what you thought they were. You may have had a recent breakup, job change, newborn or Saturn Return. Wherever you’re at, you want long-lasting change and a Right-Fit Therapist. Someone who is not only Neurodivergent-affirming, but who is Neurodivergent themself.

The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. It can be hard to know how to talk to your parents. This can be a scary time filled with a lot of fear, curiosity, uncertainty, and grief; all of which can complicate your relationship with your family and friends. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.

I specialize in the intersection of queer and faith identities, as people don't fit into neat, rigid boxes of gender identity, sexual orientation, and faith. Priscilla also works with religious trauma, navigating Asian American identity, re-authoring historical values and familial beliefs, major life changes, and recovery.

I approach each human with profound respect. Within the safety of authentic relationship, we work together to experience felt change, bodily and emotionally. New emotional experiences are powerful change agents. My specialties include: humanistic treatment for trauma intervention, neuroscience-informed relationship treatment, emotionally focused therapy, anti-oppression treatment. I work to support your experience of felt change via human relationship - relief.

Therapy is a transformative process that creates a unique space for emotional support, safety, and growth. This work helps people relieve suffering by bringing awareness to how our external contexts and internal perspectives create our experience. Establishing a fulfilling and joyful life is possible by addressing emotional difficulties with empathic curiosity and environmental challenges with creative solutions.

My name is Kimetha (Kim) Petteway-Turner and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles County. I have 15 years of clinical experience, working with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, women's mental health, and life transitions. Frequently, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), as these modalities help clients learn to change their thinking and gain control of their emotions and behaviors.
