Educational Consulting: Helping You Choose the Right Therapeutic School for Your Child

Wilderness Therapy • Therapeutic Boarding Schools • RTCs

Is your family in crisis? We can help if your troubled teen, adolescent, or young adult exhibits any of these behaviors:

• Substance (drug or alcohol) abuse
• Oppositional/defiant behavior
• Depression or anxiety
• Anger or aggression
• Erratic mood
• Poor choice of friends
• Inappropriate decision-making
• Self-destructive behaviors
• Spoiled, materialistic, unappreciative
• Low self-esteem
• Lack of motivation or refusal to attend school
• Underachieving or failing in school
• Suspension or expulsion from school
• Trouble with the law
• Acting-out, out-of-control behavior
• Sexual identity and promiscuity issues
• Runaway patterns
• Eating disorder
• Adoption or abandonment issues
• Maladaptive behaviors resulting from trauma or abuse
• Negative behaviors associated with NLD (Non-Verbal Learning Disability)
• Not moving forward in life
• Learning disability or ADD/ADHD in combination with any of the above

With so many wilderness programs, therapeutic boarding schools, and residential treatment centers available, selecting the right one can be a daunting task, especially for parents in crisis. Overwhelmed by a barrage of emotions – confusion, desperation, frustration – parents may not be able to determine on their own which therapeutic school or program best meets their situation and the needs of their child. Relying on Internet marketing or a friend’s recommendation, parents can make the wrong choice, putting their child’s life in further jeopardy. In fact, many therapeutic schools and programs prefer to work with educational consultants because we can paint a more accurate, objective picture of a student and help insure the integrity of the therapeutic school’s population and milieu.

That’s where the specialty services of our owners, Judi and Jason Robinovitz, along with therapeutic educational consultant Marcy Dorfman, LCSW, play a pivotal role.
