A Little Bit About Us: 

We are a team of professionals who imagine a world where students are equipped with the skills and knowledge to help themselves; where each student is given the professional support to overcome their unique challenges and realize their academic and personal potential. We have created a team-based approach beyond the traditional client/therapist treatment setting where we provide more than what families and their children were receiving in weekly therapy sessions. We hope to continue to make strides for individuals and their families struggling with substance abuse, mental health issues, and academic challenges. Join us and let’s work together to help our youth thrive.
