Robert Turner, LPC

Robert Turner appreciates that deciding to pursue counseling is a meaningful and often difficult step. He approaches each referral to therapy with respect for the courage it takes to seek change and a belief that people who come to counseling already possess the strengths needed to build a more fulfilling life. Whether someone arrives feeling frustrated, lonely, or depressed, he helps them explore new ways of understanding themselves and making measurable progress.

Robert works collaboratively to address concerns that range from relationship dissatisfaction to a sense that life could hold more purpose. He supports people who are already functioning well but want to refine how they live, as well as those coping with more acute emotional challenges. In session he balances attentive, nonjudgmental listening with practical guidance so that goals remain central to each interaction. He values the varied ways people implement change and tailors his approach to each personâs individual path.

His path to counseling began in healthcare, where years of clinical experience led to an interest in sleep disorders. While a guest lecturer at Stanford, he encountered the mental health dimensions of sleep problems and pursued a masterâs degree in counseling to deepen his skills. He opened a private practice 13 years ago and since then has treated a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, and sleep-related issues. He holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and considers it a privilege to work alongside people as they transform their lives.
