What We Do

Therapeutic and Educational Placements

  • Our mission and passion are to help your family find and engage with the best level of care and treatment options available to meet the unique needs of your young person.

  • We know that determining the most appropriate boarding school, wilderness program, treatment center, or young adult transition is a complex task and oftentimes seems overwhelming to a parent or client.

  • We will partner with you throughout the process through assessment, selection and transition to help you make thoughtful, well-informed decisions.

  • We use principles of developmental psychology to understand the growth of young people intellectually, socially, psychosexually, and physically. It is critical especially when working with young people to assess their developmental maturity in determining appropriate educational and therapeutic options.

  • We are progressive, yet very careful and methodical  about every one of our placement recommendations always using up-to-date research and looking for schools and programs that maintain integrity and quality of service.

  • We have visited hundreds of schools and programs throughout the country and abroad and have developed relationships with educators, therapists and other professionals.
