Prior to training as a therapist I worked as and advocate for children, youth and families in various community based non-profits. The joy I felt in helping lift burdens for individuals and families was the force that led me to the path of clinical social work!
I consider it a privilege to be invited and entrusted with the task of walking alongside you during a challenging moment in your life. Seeing you grow and succeed is one of the greatest reward I could ask for!

I am drawn to working with clients who are dealing with adjustment issues: life transitions, changes, and loss, at any stage of life. I also work with clients dealing with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, existentialist questions over life purpose and meaning, LGBTQ and POC experiences around discrimination and trauma, the interest in developing a positive and personal spirituality, and as an adjunct support in fostering abstinence around substance use issues (therapy does not replace 12 step work, but it can be a powerful form of support for individuals in recovery). I have also worked a lot with clients grappling with codependency, setting boundaries, and developing self-esteem. I like to take an eclectic approach that uses solution-focused and CBT therapy for present day situations, psychodynamic theory for past childhood losses and trauma, and art therapy for exercises in between therapy appointments that can be processed in session.
I am a gay man, with a husband and son; I'm 33 years sober and have 20 years of experience working in the visual arts, plus a doctorate in philosophy. I used to play hockey and love hiking (I am open to clients who might like to try ecotherapy interventions). Spiritually I am more or less a "spiritual existentialist" who attends Quaker meetings and loves the beauty of the Catholic rosary and Buddhist mantras. I was also trained as a classical pianist and love Bach, Hindemith, Mahler, Copland, and Carl Nielsen.

I have over 20 years of counseling experience working with diverse individuals from young children to seniors. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, transitions, self destructive behaviors, codependency among others, so that you can overcome the blocks that keep you from living the life you deserve. I use an integrated and collaborative approach created to meet the unique needs of each individual while establishing a safe environment conducive to achieving goals, and moving forward.
I believe that true change happens when people are given the support they need in order to draw upon their own strengths to realize their full potential. I am very passionate about the work I do, compassionate, and believe that with dedication and commitment, you can live the fulfilling life you know is awaiting you.
A few comments former clients have said about me and our work together include;
“I’ve worked with a number of therapists before, but you are the only one that I felt truly cared.”
“I can't believe that after 8 years of depression and PTSD, I actually feel great after only 6 months! If you would have asked me if this were possible a couple years ago, I would have said absolutely not!”
I have worked with both short-term and long-term interventions and in diverse settings. My goal is your goal and together, you can achieve what you may have thought, or think, is unachievable. It is possible to not only overcome obstacles, but thrive and live a happy life.

Using evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has proven to be effective in recognizing one’s own dysfunctional patterns and learn how to overcome these hangups and habits that have held one back!

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending". If you have ever felt stuck from past hardships or traumas that are impacting your current relationships, life satisfaction, career, and overall well-being, I may be the therapist for you. I will help you regain a sense of control over your own life and will give you back the pen so you can write your ending in a manner that serves you best.
I believe in empowerment, and in my practice, I bring compassion, honesty, and mutual respect. My focus is on helping you identify your own strengths and internal resources, and build the skills needed to live your fullest life. I believe that it is a privilege to be trusted with your story and know that within each being, there lies a great deal of strength. Sometimes, we just need someone to help us unlock and see that strength.

Hi! My name is Carly Stern, LCSW. I am excited to have the opportunity to support you on your journey. Currently, I am serving the wonderful populations in California. I am a full-time therapist and doctoral student. I enjoy hanging with my dog "Ygor," being outdoors, running, sci-fi and fantasy ANYTHING, video games, Comicon, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
Since I was a young kid, I have been passionate about human behavior and relationships. Everyone has their journey in this field. Mine looks a little like a personal experience growing up with a parent who had a severe mental illness that no one knew much about. It never felt fair to me or my family. To put it plainly, we didn't understand how to provide support because no one else knew enough about mental illnesses either. Fast forward a couple of decades, and I've learned as much as I can to best support individuals and families. In my work and through my doctoral studies, it is my purpose to learn to bridge the gap in understanding how mental illness and addiction intersect and impact those suffering, including their families. I've worked in multiple prisons, VA programs, adolescent inpatient rehabs, adult inpatient rehabs, methadone clinics, and the foster system.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief & loss, PTSD, anger & stress management, relationship issues, substance abuse, parenting problems, individual with special needs, career challenges, OCD & ADHD, bi-polar, BPD, schizophrenia, etc. However, I don't accept couple/family at this time. I also don't provide any verification letter.
I believe in working in partnership with clients, utilizing their strengths to help them sort out their challenges and achieve their goals. I also realize how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems (family, friends), work or school environment, faith & spirituality in this process. I think when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change.
Everyone needs courage to take the first step to change. If you are ready and willing to take this step, please don't hesitant to book a virtual appointment with me by calling +1 (786) 755-1863, or emailing reception+LCSW13768@growtherapy.com

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look at my bio. I am Stephanie Turner-Johnson, a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I have experience throughout the spectrum of the field, but specializing in adults with change of life, relationship, depression, and anxiety issues.
My primary approach to therapy is humanistic, which focuses on the whole person. It also works well with my CBT problem-solving techniques allowing me to get to know you better but also allowing me to help guide you through the problems you may be facing.
My communication style is honest, transparent, and caring when speaking with my client, which sometimes means telling them things they may not want to hear. However, I am often told that I am warm and gentle in my approach.
At this moment, I only see adult individual therapy and not couple, family, or children therapy.

And their parents/caregivers!
On a more personal note, I'm originally from LA and came up to the Bay for school. I'm the daughter of a firefighter-paramedic, the granddaugther of Greek immigrants, the granddaugther of Black migrates from the South during the Great Migration, the daughter-in-law of Armenian genocide survivors, and the mother of a rainbow baby. I balance the work I do with taking care of myself through reflective practices, exercise, enjoying music, meditation/mindfulness, naps when I can, being in Community with others, time with loved ones, and engaging in liberation work.

I identify as queer, fat, femme and have a mixture of indigenous and colonizer DNA. I share this first because the way we identify matters. So many reasons and factors stop us from being ourselves around others and often, when we can't fully live who we are, our mental health suffers. If that's you, I'm here to help. We can work through body image issues, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, trauma, conflict management together if you're willing to do the work of honestly engaging in therapy with me.
I grew up on the East Coast to immigrant parents from Colombia and lived in SoCal for 15 years and recently moved back home to be near my parents. I have a rescued pitbull that bring me lots of peace and joy and you might see him napping behind me via telehealth sessions. I enjoy hiking, cooking, reading (fiction for fun), and taking care of my indoor plants. I love learning about indigenous wisdom/practices from all over the world, herbalism, tarot, and other healing practices and beliefs that folks use to find meaning and wellness. Last but not least, I really love my job! And I do it because I believe in it and have witnessed so many people shift, grow, break patterns and learn new ones that significantly improve quality of life.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness.
Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us.
In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.
