HOW & WHY

We are mission control for your loved one’s distressing situation. We’ll help you plot a course to their ideal therapeutic destination, and while they’re on their journey, we’ll be a discerning set of eyes and ears, reading the radar, and attentively communicating between all the involved parties. When it’s time to guide them back, we’ll work with you to coordinate an aftercare plan, providing them with a safe landing, and allowing them to bring their therapeutic discoveries home.

Hey, “Commander”, cool metaphor, but what does this typically look like?

Ages 0-12

Elementary-age children often face challenges such as school avoidance, learning differences, social struggles, and family conflicts that can disrupt the home environment. Early identification and intervention are critical during this developmental stage, as timely support can help redirect a child’s trajectory and prevent more significant challenges during adolescence. Given the sensitive nature of this age group, we prioritize identifying resources that can be effectively implemented both at home and in school settings. In cases where symptoms exceed the support that home-based interventions can provide, consideration of more intensive services, including out-of-home placements, may be necessary to ensure the child’s well-being.

Ages 13-17

Adolescence is a particularly complex developmental period, marked by significant neurological changes such as a reduction in mirror neuron activity. This, combined with the individuation process, can contribute to increased risk-taking behaviors, as well as mental health and academic challenges. During this time of profound change, the addition of mental health concerns can understandably place immense strain on the entire family system. We deeply respect and acknowledge the dedication and resilience of caregivers navigating these challenges. Our approach is to meet families where they are—if incorporating additional supports at home is the appropriate next step, we will work closely with families to implement those resources. However, if an adolescent’s behaviors indicate they are at imminent risk or “walking along the edge of a cliff,” we will act swiftly to guide families toward alternative, more intensive options beyond the home environment to ensure safety and well-being.

Ages 18-28

Becoming a young adult is often an exciting and transformative period, but for some, it can also feel overwhelming and fraught with challenges. Many young adults face difficulties such as “failure to launch,” struggles with college persistence, employment obstacles, and engagement in risky behaviors. These challenges can be deeply concerning for caregivers, and we want to acknowledge the patience, commitment, and care that families invest during this transitional time. Whether the next step involves exploring a gap year before college, pursuing more intensive supports, or enhancing resources at home, we take a collaborative and creative approach to developing individualized support plans. Central to this process is ensuring the young adult remains engaged and empowered to participate actively in decisions about their future. Our goal is to support both the young adult and their family in navigating this complex stage with compassion and practical solutions.

Ages 29+

For adults aged 29 and older, you are in the driver’s seat of your own care. It is essential that we listen carefully to what you are experiencing and work together to determine the most appropriate path forward. We offer a variety of options tailored to meet your unique needs, empowering you to choose the next steps that feel right for your individual journey. We also recognize and deeply value the important role that your family and support systems play in your well-being, understanding that their encouragement and involvement can be critical to your success. Additionally, we are mindful of challenges related to executive functioning, mental health, and addiction, and we strive to provide comprehensive resources and strategies that address these complexities holistically, helping you achieve greater stability and fulfillment.
