Is your teen avoiding school?
We can help you get them back on track.
When it comes to school avoidance, we’ve seen and heard it all.
And we understand exactly how stressful it is for you as a parent:
You can’t for the life of you get your kid dressed and into the car, and every day it becomes a battle just to leave the house.
You’re facing a never-ending stream of absences, emails, and phone calls, and you feel unheard and unsupported by the school system.
You watch your teen suffer with the pressure and anxiety of making up for lost time, fearing that they’ve fallen hopelessly behind.
You carry the weight of your teen’s struggles with school avoidance, and that anxiety and overwhelming responsibility is paralyzing.
And at this point, you’re just trying to avoid truancy court!
“They just won’t get dressed and in the car!”
“The absences accruing, the constant emails and phone calls..”
“The school just doesn’t understand.”
“I’ve tried everything I can think of.”
“It all falls on my shoulders and it’s just too much!”

Here’s what sets us apart:
⇢ WE GET TEENS.
As a team specializing in adolescent mental health, we understand the unique complexities of teenage life. We treat teens like regular people and create a space where they don’t feel wrong, bad, weird, or different for their emotions or life circumstances.
⇢ WE GET BELOW THE SURFACE.
We don’t do quick fixes here. While other programs just look at symptoms or behaviors, we dive deep into the root causes and underlying issues of your teen’s challenges and give them the skills for profound, enduring change.
⇢ WE GET THE WHOLE SYSTEM INVOLVED.
Teens don’t make changes in a vacuum. That’s why we empower you as a parent with the knowledge and tools to be an active participant in your teen’s success. We also develop cohesive strategies to support your teen at home and at school.
With our unique approach, your teen can shift out of overwhelming chaos into manageable, peaceful routines, restoring balance to your family life.
