How, Who, Why Kinetic

We are mission control for your loved one’s distressing situation.
Our role is to help you navigate to a proven, therapeutic destination and stay connected throughout the journey. Acting as a discerning set of eyes and ears, we carefully monitor the situation, communicating between all parties involved. When it’s time for them to return, we’ll help coordinate an aftercare plan, ensuring a safe landing where they can integrate their therapeutic discoveries into their everyday life.

So, what does this typically look like?

1. Initial Assessment
   We start by listening attentively as you describe your loved one’s unique challenges.
2. Vetting Treatment Options
   We curate a shortlist of vetted treatment programs, tailored to your loved one’s needs. This list includes both local and national options.
3. Guiding the Selection Process
   We offer a balanced, insider perspective on each program, facilitate phone calls with staff, and help arrange tours of the programs that best fit.
4. Monitoring the Treatment Journey
   While your loved one is in treatment, we remain in close communication with you, the program’s therapists, and your loved one. Using our clinical expertise, we help forecast and manage any emotional turbulence that may arise.
5. Aftercare Planning
   We assist in selecting the next step after treatment, ensuring that an aftercare plan with the appropriate support is in place to maintain progress.
6. Ongoing Support
   Even after treatment, we maintain a connection with your family to ensure things continue on a healthy trajectory.

We guide caregivers through the process of finding the right therapeutic environment or school for their preadolescent, adolescent, or young adult. We also guide adults on their journey to wellness.
Our focus is on matching individuals of all ages with programs that meet their unique needs. Whether it’s a therapeutic placement, a specialized school, or a specialized outpatient program we ensure that the environment is tailored to their specific challenges.

There’s an old adage: “Human beings have a tendency to compare their insides to other people’s outsides.” This feels especially true in today’s hyper-connected, social media-driven world. When our lives get messy, it’s hard to feel “#blessed” while being bombarded with everyone else’s best, posed moments. In a world that often seems full of tan, smiling, barefoot families in color-coordinated outfits strolling on a beach at sunset, we want to share the truth about us.

Yes, we are professionals, and we present well. We have education, training, experience, and credentials. We have (we think) a beautiful website. We show up to work—composed and clear-eyed—with our clothes ironed and our hair and teeth brushed. Heck, in certain light, we’re even photogenic. But, like you, we have struggled, and we continue to face challenges.

In our personal lives, we’ve gone through major upheavals: trauma, anxiety, depression, learning differences, bullying, failure, disappointment, heartbreak, divorce, surgeries, health scares, addiction, grief, and more. We’ve watched our lives unravel, and when they did, we sought out compassionate professionals to help us piece them back together. So when we have the privilege of hearing about and helping with your family’s struggles, we do so from a place of deep understanding and zero judgment.

We love helping families heal. Our life experiences, education, and careers have prepared us to do just that. We do this work because we’re good at it, it brings us fulfillment, and—just like you—we’ve been helped along the way.
