Staff Spotlight: Meet Paulina Herrera, our new Lead Behavior Coach!
|
“Hi my name is Paulina Herrera Prado, I am the Lead Behavioral Coach. I graduated from Colorado State University in 2022 with a Bachelor of science in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Prevention and Intervention Sciences and a minor in Spanish. I completed my internship with Turning Point at the residential facilities which was an amazing learning experience. I fell in love with the work Turning Point does and joined the team as a behavior coach. I enjoy getting to know my clients and providing a safe space for them to be themselves and getting building strong relationships. I strive to be an advocate for minority groups that lack the proper resources and assistance in the mental health field. My goal is to further my education in counseling and continue to empower individuals to reach their goals. Outside of work I like to spend my time hanging out with my family and friends, playing with my dog and going shopping.”
