Savannah Turner

Advanced Clinical Intern

They/She

In a world that asks so much of us, therapy can offer protected time to slow down, turn inward, and make room for more of who you are. Together, we can explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, notice patterns that may no longer be serving you, and listen for what may be asking for your attention now. As we slow down, you may reconnect with parts of yourself that have not had much space elsewhere, opening up new possibilities for connection, authenticity, and pleasure.

For Savannah, this work unfolds tenderly through relationship. They strive to create a therapeutic relationship that feels warm, open, and human, where you can bring the full range of your experience, especially the messy parts. As a Black, queer clinician, Savannah recognizes that our inner lives are shaped not only by our individual histories, but by the social, cultural, and political conditions we live under. Their work draws from relational, strengths-based, mindfulness, and Black feminist principles, with a deep respect for how identity, relationships, culture, and social expectations shape a client’s unique perspective.

Savannah works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family dynamics, life transitions, and identity exploration. They are an advanced clinical intern pursuing their MSW at Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work, with a Sexuality & Gender concentration. Before social work, they spent nearly a decade in nonprofit tech and earned their BA in Anthropology and African-American Studies from Wesleyan University. They are nourished by the expansiveness of queer life and by the many ways we can create lives that feel more fully our own.
