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.

I am honored that you chose me to be part of your journey.  I am an associate clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience working with children and their families in various social service and clinical settings.  I have experience working with children and adults in various areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral disorders, stress, relationships, and self esteem issues.  I am well rounded, compassionate, empathetic, and passionate about helping others. I especially enjoy helping others in reaching their goals.

 

I understand that in order for us to be mentally healthy, we must keep an open mind and be willing to do the work, the road may not be easy but it will lead us to a healthier, better version of ourselves.

 

Make your mental health your priority.

I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (AMFT) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. I take a client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to support each client’s unique needs, goals, and personal growth journey.

​

I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages and stages of life, with areas of focus including anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship challenges. Using evidence-based practices, I strive to help clients build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and improve their relationships in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space.

​

My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported as we work collaboratively toward healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.

I am passionate about helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges find greater clarity, confidence, and balance. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focused on creating a safe space where clients feel supported, heard, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

​

I work collaboratively with clients to navigate emotional and mental health challenges, identify personal goals, and develop practical strategies for meaningful growth and lasting change. Through empathy, active listening, and supportive guidance, my goal is to help clients strengthen their overall well-being and create a more fulfilling life.

​

I understand that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you do not have to face it alone. I would be honored to support you as you take the next steps toward healing, growth, and positive change.

I am a trainee in my first year of graduate school at Notre Dame de Namur University, pursuing my degree to become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As an African American woman passionate about mental health, I believe therapy is one of the greatest investments a person can make in themselves. It takes courage to begin the healing process, and I am honored to support clients as they take that step toward growth and change.

 

My experiences have shaped my understanding of the importance of connection, compassion, and creating spaces where individuals feel valued, supported, and heard. I strive to provide a warm, inclusive, and culturally sensitive environment where clients can safely explore their experiences, build insight, and work toward meaningful goals.

 

I view therapy as a collaborative journey centered on self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, and I look forward to supporting clients on their path toward greater mental wellness.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with greater self-understanding, resilience, and connection. Alongside my clinical training, I bring a broad background in coaching, leadership, wellness, and community-based work, which has given me extensive experience supporting people through growth, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

​

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences and move toward meaningful change. 

​

I believe healing and growth happen through safe, authentic connection, and I feel honored to support clients as they build insight, confidence, and lasting change in their lives.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to help make the process feel as welcoming, comfortable, and stress-free as possible from the very beginning.

​

As one of the first people you may speak with, I am here to answer questions, provide information about our services, and help connect you with the therapist who best fits your needs and goals. I strive to create a warm and supportive experience so that you feel heard, cared for, and supported as you take the first steps toward therapy.

​

I look forward to helping you get started on your journey toward healing and growth.
