My name is Sheena M. Turner-August, Ph.D. and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Southern California and completed a terminal Master of Arts from Pepperdine University in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I earned my Ph.D. from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University (APA Accredited) in the field of Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in the area of Multicultural Community Psychology.  I am currently a Co-Executive Director of A to Z Psychotherapy, Owner of Candor Psychotherapy, and a Full-Time Professor at Las Positas College in the Psychology Department.  

My name is Jessica King, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am currently a Behavioral Health Services Supervisor for the County of Riverside and a Clinical Supervisor with A to Z Psychotherapy. I have experience working with children and adults helping them process a multitude of life's stressors such as trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship stress, and parenting challenges. 

I believe the supervisory relationship should be one of trust, respect and transparency from both supervisor and supervisee. Supervision is an ongoing and evolving process to enhance one's clinical knowledge and interactions with those whom we embark upon the therapeutic journey together.
