Kevin Downing

Dr. Kevin Downing is really good at what he does. We had a family crisis and we had 9 of us in the room at once comfortably and he was able to solve our family problem in just a couple sessions.
Second he provided us with tools that we implemented into our daily lives and it has greatly enhanced my experience as a parent in a very positive way. Also the kids almost never need to be in time out anymore because they are so well behaved. My mother and father raised 33 kids in total including foster kids and they developed a system for kids behavior that we were trying to use but just was not working. This is not even the reason we used Dr. Downing, but it ended up working out much better than anything else and the kids loved it, they jumped right in. I think it really helped that they were in the room with us and they heard the DR tell us, this is what you do. After that the kids just obeyed. It was amazing!!!
I am back again seeing him this time for something much harder to diagnose, but I trust that if he cannot help me, he will point me in the right direction. He really cares about people and is passionate about his career choice, you can tell.

My wife and I are very grateful to have Kevin as our counselor. He has walked with us through the first years of marriage, and has helped us through some difficult times. He is an excellent counselor, and I would highly recommend him. He is a great listener, shares useful insight and wisdom, and my wife and I both feel comfortable with him and feel like he is for us and for our marriage. God has used him to help us immensely, and we are grateful.

I needed some advice on which graduate school route to pick and I am thankful for Dr. Downing who gave me some amazing advice and his opinion. Dr. Downing truly is a kind person, I just randomly called him and he took the time out of his busy schedule and helped me answer any questions I had.
Not only this, but he recently called me to see how I was doing with the grad school stuff and if I needed anymore help!
Even though I haven’t met him in person, I can tell that he is really really really nice and truly wants everyone to do the best in their field. With such a nice personality, and enthusiastic voice I can imagine him being an amazing therapist too! :)

I originally saw Dr. Downing for couples counseling and then individual counseling, and I can’t say enough about his approach. Rather than simply identifying a problem or issue as traditional therapy attempts to do, Dr. Downing provides clear and proven biblical and academic guidelines necessary for identifying solutions to problems and selecting an appropriate romantic partner. Additionally, he helps clarify the next course of action to be taken in setting healthy boundaries and forging great relationships! His counseling provides a very practical approach for how to move from point a to point b; and for me, that made a difference. I am grateful for Dr. Downing’s thoughtful approach and words of wisdom; and I highly recommend him for individual, couples, and marital counseling.

Dr. Downing was our premarital counselor and saw us into our first year of marriage. We really appreciated the assessment he led us through before our wedding and the practical feedback that followed. He had so many resources and tools for us to use and we walked away feeling more confident and empowered to do it on our own. We highly recommend Dr. Downing for individual and couples counseling.

As a grad student, I have reached out to about 30 LMFT’s to assist me with an upcoming assignment. Dr. Downing was the first LMFT who responded and was glad to assist. During the process Dr. Downing demonstrating a level of kindness which is rarely found. After our meeting, Dr. Downing offered to call me in an effort to complete our conversation. He instilled a renewed sense of eagerness and motivation to enter this career by setting an example of his love and compassion he carries for his clients. I am forever grateful for his kindness and willingness to spend his time talking with me. Thank you SO much for all your help!

Recently talked to Dr. Downing who called to simply ask how I was doing and how my experience has been so far in graduate school. Dr. Downing is truly a one of a kind therapist! You’ll never find someone with such genuineness and compassion for what he does, who he works with, and everyone he is able to sit down with in therapy.

Dr. Downing is the best! First, while we were in crisis with our teenage daughter, he spent time listening to me pour my guts out about our struggles on the phone before we even had our first session. He brought me so much comfort during an extremely difficult time. Second, I love his method of having everyone in the room at some point. This really kept our daughter honest and helped stop her playing each side. We saw HUGE changes in her attitude and in our relationship in general. Lastly, Dr. Downing was so gentle with our daughter, he prayed for our family, and really showed compassion for our situation. We will be forever grateful for his help and continued support. I highly recommend him for teen crisis and family counseling.

Just wanted to update my review and let you all know that this man has helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. He has been a great friend and mentor through difficult times. Thank you Dr. Downing

Dr. Downing was very cooperative and willing to help me with a school project. He was very helpful in answering my questions and giving me real examples. He went out of his way to accommodate me and made me feel respected. He is a well of information and experience. He was very down to earth, friendly and genuine. I leave this review because of how impressed I was with him

I am an international pre-​med student. I had a tough time adjusting here especially with a significant family loss back in my home country, I was very sad and felt hopeless. Dr. Downing was always there for me and he helped me go through this painful time. He is not just your typical «doctor»; he is a father, and a great friend. He guided me to improve and succeed academically as well as grow spiritually. He literally transformed my life; he encouraged me and made me realize that God is always there for us. He is a wonderful doctor with great experience, no matter how busy he is, he is always there to guide and help. He believes that by using the right treatments and counseling through the will and the word of God everything becomes possible.

I believe it is safe to say that it is rare to come across someone in person who inspires you within. I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Downing while interning at Turning Point Counseling. The warmth that this fellow had as soon as I met him was uplifting and I knew then that I would learn a great amount of wisdom from him. A dedicated, compassionate, and professional therapist is a brief description of who this gentleman is. His approach to therapy is structured and well organized. A strategist in his profession. Dr. Downing displays a great force of support not only with his clients but with also his staff at Turning Point. If you seek any form of counseling; marriage and family therapy, anxiety, depression, or spiritual guidance, Dr. Downing is someone I believe, scratch that, I know that will help you overcome such issues. I am ultimately grateful for him and his staff on welcoming me to their organization. A great experience indeed.

I am a student at California State University Fullerton majoring in Psychology. I have now been an intern at Turning Point for 4 months and have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Downing and Dr. Robbins. Since interning there I have learned an immense amount about the field of psychology from Dr. Downing. He takes the time out of his busy schedule to guide myself and the other interns into the direction we need to go, he also advices us on the next steps to take in our educational journey to get to where he is today. I consider him to be a great mentor and am very thankful of the opportunities he has given me since interning at Turning Point. I 100% recommend him to anyone I know who might need any sort of counseling, including marital, individual, or family counseling. He puts his full heart into his clients and I have personally seen how he has helped countless individuals. He is extremely passionate about his work and because of that the has created a great business, and that really shows through his counseling. I sincerely advise anyone who is looking for help to consider Dr. Downing and Dr. Robbins at Turning Point, you will see how much of a difference they can make in your life!

I’ve seen Kevin periodically over the past 5 years. I have found him to be a great provider and I’d recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who asked my opinion.

First off I’d like to say that I have found Kevin to be a very kind, considerate, truthful and compassionate provider. Secondly the manifesto written by Dan K. below seems to be one of several he has written about his various experiences with other providers. It seems Dan is at the scene of many «crimes» so to speak but it couldn’t be him who is at fault. But enough about that rant, if you need an experienced marriage counselor give Kevin a shot. If you want an expert on quoting scripture give Dan a shout.
