Being a teenager is tougher than ever before. Today�s teens and their parents struggle with a balance between independence and reliance upon families. In the past, children endured certain "rites of passage" as they grew into young adults. Aspen Achievement Academy�s innovative outdoor therapy program is proven to allow nature and skilled staff to nurture self-reliance and self-respect, opening up a "rite of passage" to responsible young adulthood.
The program at Aspen Achievement Academy offers each student a series of powerful metaphors that symbolize stages of growth, help develop self-reliance and generate a sense responsibility. Aspen Achievement Academy�s clinical focus is on insight-oriented therapy, rather than behavior modification, which helps students gain awareness of their emotions and behaviors and how they affect those around them.
Aspen Achievement Academy, which is a licensed treatment program, is set apart from other programs by combining the best in therapeutic care, experiential activities, counseling, education, and group therapy. As therapists and field counselors join the students in the field along their path of discovery, they provide support and encouragement to help students deal with conflicts and learn to solve problems on their own.
Aspen Achievement Academy�s treatment program utilizes an accredited academic component, a sophisticated therapeutic model, and an experiential education curriculum in a healing wilderness environment to assist adolescents in making the transition from troubled teen to responsible young adult. Aspen Achievement Academy�s nurturing approach allows students to address individual issues, work towards personal success, and bring families back together.
