Services
The William A. Presti Center for Families and Youth opened in 2012. Our services have grown to include counseling and groups for Adults, Couples, Families, Teens, and Children. Our intent is to offer affordable, quality, mental health services for people in the Livingston County communities. Our dynamic group of committed therapists and staff will help you heal from depression, anxiety, trauma, and more.
ADD is a neurological disorder with psychological and social consequences. Children, teens, and adults need to understand that it is not their fault, they didn't cause it and there is hope. Our therapists understand ADD and can help both children and adults understand how to manage the symptoms affectively.
It is a normal part of life to experience occasional anxiety. But, many people experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming. When anxiety interferes with everyday life, it can be debilitating. If you experience persistent anxiety that is interfering with daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
We understand that children can experience anxiety, depression, and anger. These overwhelming feelings can cause a child to act out or withdraw. This can be a scary experience for children and parents. Our therapists are trained to work with children experiencing anxiety, depression, and anger due to divorce, loss, trauma, or school stress.

I would give this place an even higher rating if I could. As a parent of a struggling teen we wanted to find the best place and fit! I can not express how blessed we are to have found this center. I left a message after hours and got a call the next morning from the owner. She spoke to me for a half hour on the phone and said she had the right therapist for my daughter. I was so impressed. Then we met Amy. Oh my gosh, Amy is the best. We have been to a few different places and seen different therapists and nothing compares to how she handles teenagers. She truly has a gift. I feel like god has

I've been going here for years to see Jo and my son has been a patient of Brandon. I can't say enough amazing things about this place! Jo and Brandon have worked miracles for my son and myself! They have always been so professional, welcoming, and always make you feel comfortable! I have friends and family that now go here due to the amazing experience and results! As long as you are willing to do your part to help with the healing process, willing to take responsibility of your own actions, and take charge of your life, this place has your building blocks!

Highly recommended! I can not express how much Jo has helped me deal with several different traumatic experiences I have had to face. I have seen her on and off as needed for a few years now. She opened my eyes, gave me a different point of view, pulled me out of some dark places and gave me tools to manage my stress, anxiety and toxic people. All at a price I could actually afford! I am in a much better place because of her.

My Children and I have all received Counseling from the William A. Presti Center with excellent out-come. Their Marriage counselors are excellent. And were able to assist me in moving on from an unhealthy Marriage. I have been working with various counselors from this center for over the past 8 years. Nine years ago, after a sudden and ugly divorce, my children were suffering and unable to cope with life in a healthy way. After therapy and the grace of God all three of my children are doing wonderful. My daughter has learned how to engage in healthy relationships and cope with stress and has recently

Joshua Routhier is a wonderful counselor. I began sessions with him Spring of last year and I've been seeing tremendous positive change in myself and in my life ever since.
I'm afraid of therapy from past experience and I've never previously trusted or connected with a counselor. I have high walls and run away from deeper connections. I feel that I have been greatly challenged to see the flaws in my own reasoning and to continue pushing myself to be the best version of myself. He encourages me to continue growing and doesn't judge me for being myself or where I am at at the moment. I finally feel

I have seen Jo off and on for many years. She has helped me individually and through couples therapy. She is the only therapist I have ever felt safe with and always gives honest and constructive feedback. She is not afraid to tell you the things you may not want to hear. I don't know where I would be without her help through some very difficult times.

My family has used the William A. Presti center for years helping my children and the whole family with anxiety and depression issues. Joshua and Jo are very good at what they do and have made it possible for my children to be able to strike out on their own. I highly recommended the whole center. They are professional and very caring.

My husband and I are guardians for my teenage niece with mental problems, contributed from her parents life style, addictions on both sides and mental illiness.
When I first contacted William A Presti Center, I was at my wits end, no one would help either too booked or she wasn't hurting herself. Finally emailed in a Friday night, they responded on Saturday and Sunday, WOW!
They chose Joshua as her therapist best decision we made. He has done wonders for her and she likes him!
If, issues come up we can discuss at next session.
Thank you.

My wife and I were a little skeptical about using a counseling service for our kids but we decided to try the Presti Center. It turned out to be just what we needed, a safe friendly atmosphere where our kids could open up to someone besides Dad and Mom.
Josh did an excellent job of communicating with us and our kids, and he was more than flexible in finding alternative times to meet when things came up. Our kids stated that they would definitely return for more counseling if ever needed.
We would highly recommend the center and Josh.
