Experience and Professionalism

Our team brings over a decade of experience working with DCFS, the Victims of Crime Program, and providing individual, family, and marriage counseling. We collaborate closely with Children’s Social Workers to help families meet court-mandated goals and move toward restoration and stability.

At Turning Point Resource Center, you are more than a case number — you are a person with a story that matters. We understand the deep value of family and the vital role mental health plays in healing and reunification.

We also believe that every relationship deserves a chance — a chance to heal, to grow, and to rediscover hope. This belief is at the heart of our founder, Ana Siguenza, and reflected in her book, Atrapa las Zorras en tu Viña, which explores how the small, often unspoken issues — the ones we ignore or process in silence — can quietly damage and distance relationships. Through counseling, we help individuals and couples identify and address those hidden areas, bringing healing, understanding, and restoration.

With years of experience walking alongside families through difficult circumstances, we understand the courage it takes to rebuild and the importance of compassionate guidance. At Turning Point, we know that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and find their light. Change begins with a single decision — the choice to take the first step toward emotional wellness, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Together with our dedicated team, we guide and empower you to cultivate healthy relationships, resilient marriages, and strengthened self-esteem and confidence. Our mission is to help you rebuild yourself, so you can in turn rebuild your family. Your journey toward healing starts today, and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
