We work closely with youth and their families treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, mood and personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use. Our teachers address academic issues so that students are able to resume studies after treatment while experiential approaches such as yoga, meditation, Soundbath, and equine work empower clients to transform their lives. There IS hope. Call 603-386-1282.
