Ponderosa Parent Consulting

Helping Parents Help Their Kids

Helping Parents Help Their Kids

We work with families of struggling adolescents and young adults to offer guidance, individualized therapy journey planning, and direct referrals to therapeutic programs and schools. You will be working with the founder who is a former client of programs, former staff for programs in many capacities, and a current Master’s level mental health therapist. Our goals are to provide psychoeducation around positive outcomes families can receive from treatment, and to reduce anxiety about the inevitable stress that comes with starting this journey.

We serve parents of troubled teens and young adults as the first gateway to the intensive treatment process.

Therapeutic Program Education

Learn about the therapeutic methods offered at adolescent and young adult treatment programs, common goals for clients, and what types of results you can expect to gain from treatment.

Individualized Therapy Journey Planning

As we get to know you and your child’s needs, we’ll develop an individualized plan to get you started on your journey.

Referrals

Based on our clinical expertise, we provide referrals to accredited programs that provide evidence-based treatment. We do not accept referral fees to ensure that referrals are purely with your best interest in mind.
