Meet Abe: Your Partner in Progress

Abrahm “Abe” Turner, MA, LPC, NCC, is a nationally certified counselor, licensed therapist, and founder of The Weekend Therapist, PLLC. With an MBA in Global Leadership from the University of Texas, Dallas, and a Master's in Forensic Psychology from the University of Houston, Victoria, Abe blends clinical expertise with business and leadership insight. His mission is to provide individuals and families with tools to navigate life's challenges, embrace authenticity, and build resilience.

Raised in rural East Texas as a first-generation college graduate, Abe's journey has been shaped by perseverance and lived experience. His background as a male, BIPOC professional allows him to bring deep empathy and understanding into the therapy room, especially for those navigating identity, cultural transitions, and the weight of expectations. Having taught psychology courses inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, worked across industries for over 20 years, and lived in both rural and urban communities, Abe brings a rare perspective on how environment, culture, and life experiences shape us.

Beyond his practice, Abe is a poet, writer, and educator. His insights have appeared in publications such as Middle Market Growth Magazine, and his most recent self-published journal, The Subtle Art of Choosing You, empowers readers to prioritize their own growth and well-being. Through social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, Abe reaches audiences worldwide with relatable content on wellness, identity, and community. Whether through therapy, writing, or public speaking, his work is about more than healing—it's about equipping people with courage, clarity, and the belief that they can thrive.
