The center has a peaceful vibe, caring practitioners, and a community that is accepting and enjoyable to be around. I especially love the book club and the thoughtful conversations that come from hearing everyone's different perspectives. It's a space where people feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing together.

A lot of amazing ways to support a better you. Good classes and practioners. Would recommendread more

First I'll start off with, I was legally kidnapped and spent 16 hours in a van driving to this…read morefacility. Where I was threatened to be handcuffed to the car seat if I did not cooperate. Second off, this facility does NOT check belongings. At least when I went they sure didn't. I had over 100 razor blades in my belongings. They simply opened my suitcase, looked, and said "you're good". I had cut my leg open once. Needing stitches. I was then refused medical attention, I even gave my 1:1 sitter the razor blade and she scoffed and laughed at the wound. I only received medical attention and stitches after I cut my leg open a second time, even deeper this time. You'd think after doing this they'd search the room, belongings, everything, well they did. And did extremely poorly at that. I was so desperate to escape this facility I had swallowed 4 razor blades that they did not confiscated in order to leave. Mind you, I was still on a 1:1 sitter, meaning a staff member watched me swallow a razor blade. He didn't report it either until I went to nursing and told them I had swallowed razors. And even then they scoffed and chuckled at the idea. It's funny how they claim to accommodate disabilities, yet forced me to write as a communication method. I have mutism. I cannot speak. I was PROMISED I'd be allowed a communication device (a device I can text to speak on). When I arrived they took my speaking device away, and gave me a white board, that they would take anytime I "spoke poorly". Aka quite literally taking away my ability to communicate. They illegally denied my task trained service dog to come with me. Yet allow staff to bring their untrained pet dogs to this facility, who on my first day there, got in a huge fight in the middle of the corridors. I came out of this facility more traumatized, more "broken" than when I went in. I fully realized no one gives a fuck, and these people do anything in their power to get money by preying on families desperate for help. You will destroy your child by sending them here. I literally would rather of died, a horrific painful death. Then of spent another minute at this facility. I am absolutely disgusted this place has remained open for so long. If you are knowingly sending your child here, I PRAY they never have contact with you again. This place is so ungodly abusive it's not even funny.

I went here about three years back and looking through my journey from boarding school to boarding…read moreschool, Aspen was one of my favorite places to be. Sure it's just a temporary home while they try to figure out where the best place to send you is, but the staff were all super kind and caring. I don't think there was one time when one of the staff wouldn't sit and join us in a game of Monopoly or try to help us out when we needed it. Don't get me wrong, they're not total push overs and the rules are enforced here but Aspen really worked with me and tried to make my stay seem less torturous compared to where I had been before. I remember my counselor, Lexi, she was amazing and I could not have felt anymore comfortable when talking to her, and I was able to send letters frequently between my parents and I. I'm not all for sending your child to boarding schools (it is traumatizing, but I also understand that sometimes it is necessary if the parent does not have the right tools to help their child anymore), but if you don't know what to do or what steps to take I would certainly recommend Aspen as a temporary placement. Your child will be confused and probably hurt but they will be talked through everything with the counselor, treated WELL by the staff, given privileges to play in the gym and outside, given opportunities to earn more games or playtime, and my main thing is that your child will just be treated well. It's hard for a kid to be sent away and Aspen makes them feel welcome. And I guess a huge point is that my counselor was able to find a terrific school to send me to that fit my parents budget. Ok! I think I've written enough, if you have any questions feel free to message me(:
