We are so grateful to have found Adolescent Wellness Academy. The entire staff was incredibly helpful, professional, and welcoming from our first phone call. Anny got us in right away, Frank immediately connected with our daughter, and all of the therapists made her feel heard and understood. She was "keyed out" and has maintained the skills and strategies she learned there. While our daughter was able to get the help she so badly needed, Mike's parent groups were a lifeline for my husband and me during our family's crisis. We find ourselves referencing Mike's words of wisdom on a weekly basis. We will continue to recommend Adolescent Wellness Academy to parents of teens who are struggling.

I was very fortunate to find the Principles recovery Teen Wellness Center when I did. They took my daughter in and we went through the 10week program. With their help, she learned to take accountability for her actions. They helped me and my husband as the parents teacher our daughter how to cope with anxiety and mental stress. There so many things teens go through that are in the mental stress bag. From anxiety to self harm to drugs, etc. it was hard to go through it but we came out of it with new knowledge with a respectful child that wants a second chance and a family that can repair the relationship and heal together. I recommend the program and staff to all parents that have a child going through mental stress of any kind. Contact the program and they will guide you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts❤️

No tengo palabras para describir nuestra experiencia en este centro de rehabilitación, después de más de 2 años buscando ayuda por la adiccion a la marihuana para mi hijo adolescentes de 17 años encontramos este que si pudiera le diera más de 5 estrellas, no solo lo ayudaron a poder dejar la adiccion si no que hicieron que mi hijo sintiera amor propio y encontrarle sentido a la vida, mi hijo pudo graduarse y estamos muy contentos con esta institución la recomendaría 1000 veces, nos han ayudado mucho como familia, incluso después de graduarse siguen preocupados y le siguen dando seguimiento a sus pacientes, todos los empleados tienen muy buena actitud y siempre están dispuestos ayudar desde, el dueño, los terapistas en especial Mike y Ben y Anny la directora de admisión son especiales, sin duda el mejor Centro de Rehabiliacion muyyyyyy sastusfecha.

The staff here is excellent-very experienced in working with teens and very responsive to parents. I think it’s a productive approach to therapy in that it involves both the parents and the kids, and also allows the kids to share with their peers in a safe place. Also focuses on the roots of issues rather than just the symptoms.

My daughter was a trouble teenager, she suffered from depression, self harm, low self esteem. Looking thru places for her for help I’ve found this academy in which I love that it’s a everyday therapy not just for her but for parents too
Their staff are lovely, experienced and on point in every subject. They even offered referrals to continue therapy after their sessions.
I would recommend this place to anyone. The help is not just for the trouble person, their help is for the whole family

Can't thank them enough for what they have done with my son. The staff really cares and it shows by their dedication of helping each client with tools to get them in a better place mentally. My son went in for anxiety and depression and by the end of it he was confident and excited about his future. He was given tools and resources to continue to get better. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't find this place. Best decision I made for my son.

I don’t have enough words of how thankful my family is with the center for helping us with my son. We where struggling with my adolescent with anxiety, depression, gaming addiction, and trouble cooping at school. The team is so professional, they really understand this age, but mostly of all they provide the tools and follow up for a successful recovery. My son is back in track, and mostly of all he is happy. Thank you Ben, Frank, Mike, Alyssa, Annie, and the rest of the team. We are very grateful.

Principles Recovery Center/ Adolescent Wellness Academy
has been critical in the progress my loved one has made. He has graduated from the program after 5 months with the tools and confidence to continue a path of sobriety and mental health. From the intake interview with Frank, to the parent support meetings with Mike, and the communication and follow through from Sophie- I cannot say enough good things about this Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adolescents. Their ability to capture the interest of teenagers FIRST by building a community of their peers was instrumental in the progress of my family member and my family overall. My family member was held accountable by not only staff members but more importantly his peers. I have been a professional educator for decades and have now recommended this program to families who struggle with teenage substance abuse or mental health issues. Their clinical approach is research-based and consistent. But most significant is a personal touch and human connection that is genuine and authentic. They really care about these kids and it shows in the outcomes. Forever grateful I took the recommendation from staff member Rebecca ( a friend of my best friend) to enroll in the program. I remain optimistic that while there will always be bumps in the road when raising teenagers, we will all be better able to navigate and deal with what lies ahead.
