Services

Envision your adolescent or young adult child—strong and happy, engaged and independent, taking ownership of their future and having fun!

This scenario may be hard to imagine just now, but believing your child can achieve it is critical to their well-being and future prospects. Also important is providing your child with sophisticated clinical and psychiatric care, and the structure, mentors and tools they need to energize their innate strengths, self-efficacy and motivation, empower their decision-making abilities, and free them to become the whole, resilient individual they were born to be.
Helping your child reach these goals is the best investment you’ll ever make. Maureen believes a healthy family system is the key to long-term success for your child and family as a whole.

PLACEMENT SERVICES

Short-term placements 
Is your child in crisis? Maureen can provide you with a placement recommendation within hours:
  • Short-term experiential treatment programs are geared for immediate intervention and assessment.
  • This type of program provides safe, sophisticated therapy, and gives your child an experience that helps prepare them for ongoing tools and strategies to achieve their goals.
  • While your child is in treatment, there’s a parallel experience for your family to help you better understand your child’s situation and rally as a supportive family team.

Residential placements 
Is longer term care necessary? Collaborating with you, and the clinical and academic professionals familiar with your child, Maureen helps you pinpoint the right program and therapists to meet your family’s needs, which:
  • Dovetail with your child’s diagnoses, personality and interests to maximize his or her opportunities for success.
  • Provide the right amount of clinical and psychiatric care to meet your child’s needs.
  • Emphasize academics and recreational activities that excite your child and nurture lifelong healthy habits.
  • Offer an environment that enhances your child’s self-esteem and self-efficacy.
  • Connect your child to other kids with similar issues and diagnoses so they feel understood and included.

Traditional boarding schools
Are your child’s behaviors directly related to school performance and unsupported learning differences? With the right academic tools and support services, concerning behaviors often diminish as academic success heightens.
  • Traditional boarding schools that specialize in your child’s learning profile—such as high verbal skills and low processing speed, functional deficits, organizational challenges or attention deficit disorder—can help your child regain confidence and make solid academic achievement.

Young adult services 
Has your young adult child failed to launch successfully into college, career or life? Learning to balance the myriad responsibilities of adulthood can be a difficult process, but with the right expertise, your child can blossom into capable independence.
  • Specialized young adult programs can help your child reengage in the college experience; overcome struggles with alcohol or drug use, abuse or addiction; achieve focus, direction and commitment while exploring career options; and much more.

Transition to home 
Is your child ready to return home? Maureen and the team of professionals who have been working with you and your child help determine when the time is right, keeping your child’s progress, clinical recommendations and best interests at heart. When coming home is the appropriate next step, her network of wrap-around parent coaching, peer mentoring and other therapeutic and academic supports will help prepare you for reunification and:
  • Help your child and family avoid pitfalls and all-too-common occasions to lose ground.
  • Fortify your family’s interactive dynamic to support and sustain your child’s precious, newfound growth and achievement.
