We Help You Find the Best Therapeutic Boarding School for Your Struggling Teen
You're Not Alone - There's Hope for Your Struggling Teenager
Is your teenager battling depression, anxiety, or behavioral issues that have you feeling helpless? Are you lying awake at night wondering if you’re failing as a parent? I get it – I’ve been where you are, and I’ve walked alongside over 1,000 families who felt exactly the same way.
Here’s what I know after 17+ years in this field: your child isn’t broken, and neither are you. Sometimes brilliant, sensitive kids just need a different kind of help – the kind that therapeutic boarding schools are designed to provide.
"We tried everything but it came to the point where we had to get our 16-year-old daughter the help she needed. Mary was spot on! She gave us several options that fit our daughter's needs and then helped us narrow those down."

Mary is a kind and knowledgeable advocate who helped us navigate the very tough decision of placing our son in a wilderness therapy program. She supported us through the entire process – from connecting us to wonderful options, being there as a support during his time there, and then to help us coordinate after care / wrap around support for when he returned home. +Mary was available to us to just listen or to give insight and advice about how to handle many situations. We appreciated the fact that she has been through this experience herself and can truly empathize with all the emotions that come to families in this situation. Thank you Mary!
