We are a clinically driven independent educational consultant practice. We provide a wealth of services to help families with children, adolescents, and young adults, and adults. We start by assessing your child's, adolescent, or young adult's adult needs, working with your entire family from start to completion in the placement process. We depend on your conversation with each family and meeting virtually or in-person to determine your needs. Placement decisions are based on everything from boarding and therapeutic placement to wilderness and recovery programs, to sober living or addiction and recovery programs to boutique placement. The links below introduce you to our team helping you understand our individualized approach. The videos below are just a few of our programs and schools to share with you about different placement options.
Support is key to helping your child and your family. We offer parent coaching and family counseling and support. We provide the resources you need for your entire family, walking you through parent coaching to individual counseling and therapy sessions when needed. Our support in school placement is critical to the mental health of pre-teens, adolescents, or young adults. Read our entire website carefully and watch our videos so you can learn about all of our services.
