You’re built for connection, not chaos.

For more than twenty-five years I’ve helped teens, adults, and families trade emotional whiplash for steadier relationships and a clearer sense of self. Whether you grapple with borderline-personality dynamics, neurodivergent overload, trauma aftershocks, or the fog of depression and anxiety, you’ll receive science-backed care delivered with heart.

Therapy that meets you where you are

Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions let you connect from anywhere in California. Prefer face-to-face support without leaving home? Concierge visits bring the office to you.

Evidence-Based Approach

Why evidence? Because it works. My method blends the warmth of human connection with research-driven strategies so you leave each session with real-world tools—not trendy fads.

CORE VALUES

  • Science

    I track progress with validated measures and adjust plans quickly— no guess-work, no fad therapies.

  • Compassion

    Every session begins with empathy; judgment stays at the door.

  • Commitment

    Your goals become our shared roadmap until you tell me you’ve arrived.

  • Within two months our daughter went from nightly crises to planning her future again. Dr Kerwin is the first therapist who made DBT skills click.

  • I spent 30 years feeling ‘too much’—until your neuro-affirming sessions reframed my traits as strengths. I finally felt seen.

  • Our leadership team calls your monthly ‘Wise Mind Labs’ their secret weapon. Revenue hit target and sick-days dropped 40 %.

  • Your crisis-text coaching kept me alive—literally. I use these skills every day and haven’t self-harmed in six months.

  • We arrived one argument from divorce and left with a roadmap for real connection. Even virtual sessions felt face-to-face.

  • The assessment report answered questions my doctors debated for years. Because of it I received graduate-exam accommodations and a fellowship.

  • Dr Kerwin’s neuro-affirming lens finally made me feel seen, not "broken."
