As a 45-year-old teacher of nearly 20 years, I decided to return to graduate school to pursue my Marriage and Family Therapy degree later in life. I was absolutely blessed to have found Turning Point Centers for Families, in Costa Mesa California as my Practicum Site for my graduate school; The University of Massachusetts Global.
“From the director, administration, supervisors, program coordinators, office administration and fellow colleagues, I continue to have an incredible experience working with individuals in need and with the best possible support a Trainee or Associate could have. Backed with a team of consummate professionals that hold the integrity of our profession of the highest esteem, I could not recommend Turning Point Centers for Families as a training and learning site for future therapists more, as well as a community-based therapeutic practice that is nothing short of transformative for the clients we serve.
