Therapeutic Boarding School Saved Our Son: A Parent Story

Our Son's Was a Teen in Crisis

We were introduced to Mary when our oldest son (my stepson) was in crisis! He needed help, and we were struggling with his biological mother as to what the best course of action would be. She wanted to let him ‘fix himself’ and we wanted to send him to a therapeutic boarding school where he could get help at a school specifically designed to meet his needs.

Finding Mary

Mary was truly an ANGEL sent to us. She was able to assess the needs of our teen in crisis, direct us to a wonderful therapeutic boarding school, and even provide mediation between us and the biological mother.

The Turning Point

The happy conclusion to our story is that our son finished high school a strong, happy, healthy successful young man. MANY times he has looked me in the eye and said:

“Sending me to that school was the BEST decision you ever made for me. Even though I hated you for it at the time, I love you for being strong enough to FIGHT for me. You saved me.”

Mary made it possible to win the fight to save our son! Mary has a gift for listening, connecting to people, speaking the truth in a firm but kind manner, and making everyone in the process feel comforted, and feel they are being heard; she listens to concerns and fears, and somehow she manages all the intense emotions that can be present when your teen is in crisis. I STRONGLY urge you to let Mary guide you! If your teen is in trouble, PLEASE don’t wait! Mary has years of experience, the knowledge, the compassion, the tenderness, the toughness, the strength and the wisdom to guide you to the best possible residential treatment for teens. You will NEVER regret letting Mary into your life ~ and you may very well regret it if you don’t! Debbie

The Power of Intervention: Mary Warren's Response to Debbie's Story

When families come to me in crisis, they often feel overwhelmed and alone. My goal is to provide parenting support, guidance, and a clear path forward.

Debbie and her family’s story is a powerful testament and speaks to the power and impact of therapeutic intervention.

Debbie’s story is a reminder that seeking help sooner rather than later can change the course of your child’s life and lead to a successful and often unexpected outcome.

I find that many parents struggle with this choice. It is hard to choose residential treatment for teens, but more often than not, these teens welcome the change of pace, the distance from those who influenced them, and the time to think through their needs.

Trust me, they want to feel better, they may not realize it or know how to verbalize it, but with respite and distance more often than not they make the extra effort.

If you are struggling with a teen in crisis or a teen who is dealing with academic pressures, anxiety, depression, self-harm, or risky behaviors, early intervention can change their path.

For parents who find themselves in the middle of stressful situations with their teenage child, parenting support can make a big difference. Please reach out today to explore therapeutic boarding school options that provide the support your family needs.

Early intervention is key. Please do not wait for the situation to escalate. Get in touch with us now and take the first step towards a brighter future for your teen.
