About us
About Turning Point
A locally owned outpatient practice in downtown Fairbanks, providing high-quality treatment for mental illness and addiction since 2000.
Our mission
The mission of Turning Point Counseling Services is to provide high-quality treatment to those suffering from mental illness and/or addiction.
Turning Point Counseling Services provides a community resource that helps to facilitate quality of life improvements for community members and families. Using an individualized approach that honors each person’s strengths and spirit, we provide a range of therapy and education experiences that move our clients toward wellness.
What we believe
A person is more than their problems
We believe that a person is not the sum of his or her problems, and we build treatment around each client’s strengths and spirit.
Recovery is possible for everyone
With the right support and an individualized plan, healing and lasting change are within reach for every person who walks through our doors.
Healing reaches the whole family
Mental illness and addiction impact the whole family. A person’s recovery improves life for their family and everyone they interact with socially and at work.
Locally owned, community focused
Turning Point was founded by Gunnar Ebbesson and Joseph Nowell, two clinicians who have spent their careers helping Alaskans heal from mental health and substance use disorders. Today our team includes licensed counselors, social workers, and support staff who take their work to heart.
Because we are locally owned and operated, our programs are designed so that clients can maintain employment and family life while they seek recovery in their own community.
