Therapeutic Educational Consulting

We start with a phone call and a conversation. I would like to know more about your child/loved one and the struggles you are experiencing. I will assess if I can be of service in this conversation. I will explain what I can offer and why. If I can be of help, we’ll talk about the process going forward. Every family, child, case and recommendations are different. If I have any doubt that I would be helpful, I’ll offer some level of direction or other referral.

Nothing! Our first call is at no cost, and with no time limit. It is only fair to give us both time to determine if I can be a good service for you, and for you to determine if I’m the proper fit for your situation.

Every child, every family and every need is different, so the scope of work and costs are as well. I will give a full costs to work together on our first phone call. 

It depends. Sometime it can be for one placement and sometimes I can weave in and out, on an as-needed basis. I do much more than just recommend options; I become part of your child’s life as an advocate. I stay with you; from start to success.

Are you or your loved one struggling with anything mental health related and/or substance use? Is he or she doing high-risk behaviors? Has regular therapy not helped much? Is your home disruptive because of your child’s behavior? These are just a few reason you may need a therapeutic consultant. 

A “one size fits all” method of treatment does not work. Therapeutic consultants know the inside workings and the differentiators of programs and schools. We spend the time traveling and getting to know programs and schools to create a discerning and curated network. 

The best fit is crucial to the success of your loved one. In addition, websites and admission reps do not always depict the real thing. The wrong program could be a big setback to your loved one and financially.

Yes and we find that treatment is especially helpful for this population. Courts and attorneys will almost always agree that treatment is a healthier and more rehabilitative option than jail.

This is why therapeutic consultants exist. Getting your child to the qualified and appropriate treatment and in a time of crisis, is especially critical. The wrong decision could be damaging. We travel, interview and spend time at programs all over the country, and consistently. I meet and work with owners, executive directors and clinical teams in order to curate into a high-quality list. In addition, all of us therapeutic consultants help and share with each other. I am a member of associations that help to keep me connected and informed.

Because media and people in general prefer negative press over positive, the facts are; there are far more ethical, transparent, caring and quality care programs, than not.

Almost 30 years ago Paris Hilton attended a wilderness program. Over the last few years, she has decided to create press around the neglect and abuse she experienced. Because of her celebrity status, her news has traveled fast.

Throughout the beginning of adolescent treatment and wilderness, there have been some unethical programs; and still are. They are rare and the press has not been accurate. It is our job as consultants to know who the “good” and “bad” are.

Absolutely! We help them, and at the same time representing you. We become part of the team and very often when something gets missed or “falls between the cracks” we catch it.

We work together for the common goal of healing a child or young adult. My favorites are chosen by their quality of work and success with clients, in addition to a best fit environment for your loved one. I never accept referral fees or any level of financial benefit from any program, school, owner/director, etc.
