From the Hearts of Families

"This hasn't just helped our teen boy, it's also helped us. The support goes beyond sessions. It's not just helpful - it feels like someone actually gets it, and gets us. Jen's not just helping one person, she's walking with the whole family."

– Barrhaven Mom

"I wasn't sure what to expect but as soon as we met we just clicked and I felt like I could share everything with you. You helped me see better options."

– Female Teen (Barrhaven, 17)

“You adapted quickly to our son's needs and gave us information that helped us ease his fears when they become an issue again.”

– Father (Ottawa, ON)

Why I Wrote-
Not Today, Frank!

Jen LeClair Avery, Founder of Healthy Routes
Life Skills Educator / Family Addiction Counselor (CCAC-50325)

Over the years, I kept hearing the same questions from teens, young adults, and parents: Why do I feel this way? Why is this so hard? Why didn't anyone ever teach me this? That's why I wrote Not Today, Frank!—to make emotions, confidence, anxiety, and everyday challenges easier to understand and even easier to navigate.

Written with the same practical, relatable approach I bring to every session, the book combines real-life stories, simple strategies, and meaningful insights you can put into practice right away. Whether you're a teen, a young adult, or a parent trying to better understand the journey, you'll find tools that help make sense of what's happening beneath the surface. My hope is that you'll walk away feeling more confident, more understood, and better equipped to navigate whatever comes next.

Let's connect.
