“When our son got out of control, we had never even heard of an educational consultant. We went on the Internet and there were so many programs. We were totally overwhelmed. We are so grateful to you, Dr. Ashley and Dr. Paul, that you were there to help us calm down and find the right placement for our son. He’s doing so much better and it has been wonderful having your expertise and support.” -- A.D., Orange, CA

“My 17-year-old son was sliding downhill fast and I didn’t know how to stop him from completely ruining his life. He wouldn’t listen to me and was very disrespectful. He stopped going to school even though he is very smart. His As and Bs became Ds and Fs. Thank you Dr. Paul and Dr. Ashley for finding the perfect wilderness program for him. He learned so much about himself and turned things around. He’s been home for five months now and is back on track. I can’t thank you enough for helping me to help my son.” -- S.L., Laguna Niguel, CA
 
“I was shocked to find out how serious my daughter’s drug use was. When I gave her a drug test, she was positive for marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. She’s a beautiful 15-year-old girl and it took me awhile to accept the truth that she had a big problem. We put her in rehab but she needed more. Thanks for being there when my daughter and I needed you most.” -- S.F., Chino Hills, CA
 
“Dear Dr. Paul and Dr. Ashley: You were there when it felt like we had nowhere to turn. Thanks so much for all you do for families like ours that need help.” -- T.G., Aliso Viejo, CA
 
“Our daughter was depressed and cutting herself. We tried outpatient counseling and she was even in the hospital twice, but her depression and self-injury didn’t stop. She needed more help and we needed the comfort of knowing she was safe and getting the right treatment. It really helped knowing that you are psychologists who understand teens’ problems as well as educational consultants. She is in the right residential treatment center now, and is getting the help she needs and deserves. Thanks again, Dr. Paul and Dr. Ashley. You two are the best!” -- M.W., Corona, CA
 
“On behalf of my whole family, thanks from the bottom of our hearts for helping us regain a stable and loving home. We know our son will thank you someday too.” -- B.B., Las Vegas, NV
