It's not mental. Your face is wide open on the way down. You have to learn to start turning the face closed and being aware of where the toe is when you swing. You're swinging the heel and the shaft, like baseball. Think more hockey, the sweet spot is not aligned with the shaft. They explain this here: ▶ this video

It’s hard to tell for sure with the camera angle, but I would suspect that your club face is quite open in the downswing and part of the reason that you early extend and stand up is to help square the face. Try adjusting your wrists or your grip so it’s not open, and you might start turning better. ▶ this video

I mean I guess you can’t expect anything beyond LPGA numbers with all your swing faults. It’s more than understandable. So watch this video so you can start hitting it more solid and score better with a more consistent swing. ▶ this video
