Providing in-person therapy in Los Alamitos, California and online sessions in California and South Carolina
Hi, I’m Alanna Turner
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in Southern California and South Carolina. I help women understand why they feel the way they do and break patterns rooted in childhood relationships.
I’m conveniently located to see you in-person and online throughout Los Alamitos, Rossmoor, Seal Beach, Cypress, Long Beach, Lakewood, Cerritos, Garden Grove, Westminster, and surrounding Orange County and southeast Los Angeles County communities. I’m also available for you online if you live in South Carolina.
You may be here because...
You grew up walking on eggshells.
You never felt "good enough."
You struggle to trust yourself.
You attract emotionally unavailable or controlling partners.
You feel responsible for everyone else's happiness.
You constantly second-guess yourself.
Anxiety has become your normal.
You keep repeating relationship patterns you don't understand.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and these patterns can change, with the right support, found here.
If you grew up with emotionally immature, narcissistic, addicted, or absent parents, it’s likely that you unknowingly carry these survival strategies into adulthood:
The people-pleasing.
The perfectionism.
The anxiety.
The fear of conflict.
The difficulty trusting yourself.
Together, we can break toxic behavioral patterns and mindsets that have you stuck — so that you can move forward and live again in healthy ways.
Do you need to heal from narcissistic family dynamics?
Recover from manipulation, gaslighting, chronic criticism, and emotional neglect.
Did you grow up with addiction in the family?
Whether a parent, caregiver, or close family member struggled with addiction, those experiences often leave lasting emotional wounds — even if you never struggled with addiction yourself.
Did or do you still have emotionally immature parents?
Learn to stop carrying emotional responsibilities that were never yours.
Are you anxious and always overthinking?
Find relief from constant worry, racing thoughts, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
Are you depressed and emotionally exhausted?
Reconnect with yourself after years of simply getting through the day.
Do you crave healthy relationships and boundaries?
Learn to communicate confidently, trust yourself, and build relationships rooted in respect rather than fear.
