Family Therapy
At Turn The Page, LLC we believe all families have the ability to grow and overcome challenges. We recognize each family's individual strengths and work with them as a unit, to achieve their goals. Family therapy helps families overcome stressors they may be facing together, talk through difficult topics, and work together to achieve positive outcomes in their relationships with each other.
Individual Therapy
Each new client is paired with the specific clinician who suits their individual needs. At Turn The Page LLC, clients find the help to explore their concerns and treatment goals in a confidential, supportive environment. Clients develop effective means to manage anxiety, stress, anger and pain; to heal emotional wounds; to resolve issues from the past that are impacting their current life; to learn more constructive ways to communicate with others and get their needs met; to regain a sense of hope for self and life; to improve parenting or other intimate/social relationship skills; and to enhance self-esteem and confidence.
Couples Counseling
The goal of couples counseling is to understand the relationship dynamic of the couple, and to explore their perception of the relationship, their expectations of each other, and the situations which may be causing them to feel alienated, frustrated, or stressed in the relationship. Couples Counseling can also help those in intimate relationships improve their communication with each other and process issues that may arise during more difficult discussions. The counselor acts as a mediator and facilitator to keep discussions on track and to guide the conversation to specific points.
In-home Counseling
Periodically, the need for an alternative approach to treatment arises. Through group therapy, individuals are helped by a professional therapist as well as by peers facing similar issues. It is a way of helping others and getting help from others who are facing the same struggles. Groups have been highly effective for children, adolescents, and adults. Some topics of therapy groups have included parenting, anger management, socialization, women’s support, divorce, substance support, and others. If you are interested in this type of treatment, please contact our office for details.
Trauma Response
Turn The Page LLC is trained and prepared to respond to your organization or community in times of crisis. We offer onsite Trauma Response services at your facility in cases of death or critical injury of a coworker, student, or family member. This service is often utilized following acts of violence, tragic or catastrophic events, completed suicides, or after natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, or floods.
Expert Witness
There are times when parents, judges, attorneys or others struggle to determine what is in the best interest of a child. During these times, Turn The Page LLC can help. In cases of custody disputes or alleged abuse or neglect, our trained, licensed clinicians will help determine best next step in a child’s life.
Mentoring
Turn The Page LLC provides adult mentors for children and youth in need of positive role models. Our mentors spend recreational time with the child or youth, sharing their life experience while teaching and supporting the child or youth through theirs.
In-home Counseling
At Turn The Page LLC, we recognize that traditional therapy is not always possible for some families. In- home treatment is provided to children and adolescents who are at risk for out-of-home placement, and for those families for whom traditional outpatient treatment has not met their needs. Please contact our office for details in arranging this type of treatment.

Communicating With Adolescents
When parents and helping professionals try to start a conversation with adolescents, they often get one-word answers or no answer at all. Many families and helping professionals struggle to understand how adolescents think and feel and how to get adolescents to talk. Participants will learn strategies and techniques to engage adolescents and to help families learn how to talk to their adolescents about difficult topics and get the adolescents to talk back.
Mental Health of Youth
Eighty percent of youth in the foster care system have serious problems with mental health, compared to 18-22% in the general population. It is imperative that child welfare workers be able to identify the risks and symptoms through effective interviewing of families, schools, treatment providers, and youth. Participants will hone their interview skills of youth of all ages, and will become more attune to recognizing unspoken risks and symptoms associated with mental health issues. Participants will have a working knowledge of various childhood mental illnesses that are pervasive in youth, in the child welfare system.
Teen Substance Use And Abuse
Forty percent of those who started drinking at age 13 or younger developed alcohol dependence later in life. Ten percent of teens who began drinking after the age of 17 developed dependence. As a result, the youth’s safety, stability, well-being, and permanency are often compromised. This training is geared toward helping adult professionals and caretakers identify early warning signs of child and teen substance use and abuse; understand the differences between experimenting vs. problem behavior; and help develop plans that match the level of need of the child, youth, and family.
Aspergers, Autism, and OCD
Given the overlapping symptoms of these three disorders, many helping professionals and parents are often left feeling confused about their distinctions and how to help children and adults who carry these diagnoses. This focuses on understanding the distinctions between the three disorders, understanding them and helping to plan for those who struggle with the symptoms of Aspergers, Autism, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
