My daughter was nearing the end of her Wilderness Therapy treatment, but she was not ready to come home yet. She needed another residential treatment program. Her father and I were overwhelmed with all the programs out there and didn't know where to start. Enter Jennifer. She spoke to us about our daughter's needs and struggles, along with our thoughts on what kind of program might be a good fit. Then she coordinated with the Wilderness program to speak to our daughter directly, asking similar questions, to really get a feel for where she's at and what she could handle after. Jennifer asked a lot of thoughtful questions to get a complete picture of our daughter and her challenges. Jennifer then hit the ground running and used the info collected and researched what programs could potentially work. She presented three options, all different and each with their own strengths. She set up calls with each of the programs so we (including our daughter) could talk to them and get a feel for what they could offer. The program we decided on (where my daughter is currently) has been wonderful. Just a few weeks ago my daughter said, "Mom! I haven't felt this good in years! I'm excited and hopeful about my future. I'm proud of all the work I've done. I'm ready to do the adulting things, even though they still scare me." I cried joyful tears. Jennifer was instrumental in helping us navigate the seemingly impossible and daunting sea of mental and behavioral health programs. Thanks to her, we are on a great course. I highly recommend Jennifer and her services. read more

Jennifer has been there for us when we truly needed it most. We were told by our child's therapist that they were at risk and needed an intervention. We met with Jennifer on a Friday and on Sunday, were still mulling over options, it was determined that our child needed immediate help. We texted Jennifer and she leapt into action. Within a few hours she had options for us and guided us every step of the way. She has continued to be there for us through two subsequent placements, and always keeps the kids she's charged with helping at the center of her focus. She has been on weekly calls with us at for the first few months of our child's treatment and continually assesses the programs they're in for fit. She is extremely knowledgeable about and well-connected with programs all over the country and has been a tremendous resource for us. We absolutely could not have figured out this complicated process on our own. Having Jennifer by our side has been truly lifesaving for our child. We cannot thank her enough or recommend her more highly. read more

Jennifer helped our family through a huge crisis. My son was in behavioral hospital and we needed to find the right place for him quickly as we knew coming back home was not an option, and places our insurance covered denied his admission as not a good fit. Jennifer was very patient and understanding. She listened and asked the right questions to fully understand our son's situation. She walked with us every step of the way. She also visited our son with us in the hospital. Jennifer presented to us two wilderness programs which already pre-approved our son. The program we decided on was a perfect fit for him. After the wilderness, Jennifer's referred us to few Residential Treatment Centers that also pre-approved our son. We are very happy with our choice.

Jennifer came highly recommended by a therapist I truly respect almost 7 months ago. I simply can't say enough about this amazing woman. She has been a live-saver in a sea of turbulence as I've tried to navigate how best to help my child. She's compassionate, knowledgeable, intelligent, supportive, and incredibly professional. I've had the added stress of dealing with legal issues and Jennifer has provided me with letters for both courts and trustees on three different occasions. Attorneys have told me her letters are "golden" and should I need to "buttress my spirits" with whether or not I'm doing the right thing, just go back and re-read her letters summarizing "concerns, goals, and what it's going to take to get there." Jennifer has met with medical professionals, participated in therapy sessions, sat in on psychological evaluation meetings, and even gone out to meet my child at a wilderness residential program. I 100% would trust her recommendations for how to best support the needs of my child, and at this point attorneys and "no judge would go against her" based on how thorough her assessment has been during this process. If you are looking for someone who will care and invest in your child like they are her own, this is your person. read more
