Abbey Turner

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.

Tyler Vance

Tyler Vance

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.
