Getting to know Kimetha Petteway-Turner

Hi there, I'm Kimetha! 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 specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, women’s mental health, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is guided by the unique needs of each client. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), as these modalities empower clients to change their thinking patterns and gain control over their emotions and behaviors. I work with individuals, couples, and families, with a special interest in helping women build resilience and maintain good mental health. My goal is to provide clients with the tools they need to live their best lives possible. Creating a safe and positive environment is important to me—one where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and without fear of judgment. I firmly believe that trust and authenticity are essential to successful therapy outcomes. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a strong desire to help others through difficult times and see them emerge stronger and wiser. Although I initially worked in a corporate environment, I often found myself being the person coworkers turned to for support. When I faced challenges of my own, I sought therapy and was encouraged by my therapist to consider becoming a therapist myself because she saw that I had “something.” This encouragement inspired me to pursue this fulfilling path.
