When you know that full time care is the next step for your troubled teen, but aren’t sure where to turn, sorting through the variety of teen help solutions can be daunting. Some parents default to boot camps and military schools. This is because they assume that a strict regimen and focus on respect will lead them to the right results. However, such programs are not the best option for struggling teens. They do nothing to address the underlying psychological issues that lead to bad behavior in the first place. Therapy is an important component for true healing. It can only be found in a therapeutic boarding school that caters to the needs of troubled teens. Havenwood Academy is an ideal program that is specifically designed to help troubled girls. We help them overcome their challenges and gain the skills they need to move confidently into a positive future.

What Makes Havenwood Academy Unique?
We have many years of experience helping troubled girls from Alaska and throughout the country. We know that there are no “bad girls”, only bad choices. Every teen is capable of change, regardless of their past. Our program model is based on love, trust and accountability. This environment, each of our students is able to progress. Through a therapeutic program, they can change their outlook on their lives and give them confidence. We are dedicated to giving troubled teen girls a new start in loving, structured and safe surroundings. Our primary goal is to see her become a happy, healthy and contributing young woman.
We know that reaching this point has involved a lot of stress and sleepless nights on your part. Even if you know that placing your daughter in the hands of experienced professionals is the right solution, it is still painful. We want to take some of the burden from your shoulders. Havenwood can help you gain the peace of mind that you need to do your own healing, while your daughter is under our care. Here at Havenwood, we believe that everyone deserves access to the best care possible. We are proud to have the right accreditation to accept insurance to help cover the cost of the program. This is uncommon in most facilities. Parents, with other facilities, might otherwise have to take out a loan or put a large dent into their savings. Call us to see if your plan applies.
Issues Teens From Alaska Face
For troubled teen girls from Alaska:
- 16.3% drink alcohol
- 11% use marijuana
- 1st in the nation for suicide
- 49.8% pregnancy rate
- In 2008, more than 2300 teens were arrested for violence, substance abuse, and vandalism

We work tirelessly to ensure that each student is given the opportunities that she needs to start over and take her life back. Through support and proven therapeutic methods, we offer a better approach to healing found in any other facility. At Havenwood Academy, we understand that each girl is unique. While some of her issues may coincide with her peers, the approach to them is personal and must be addressed individually. The environment we provide is loving and supportive, but is also consistent and requires accountability. We have found that this, combined with the break teens get from the triggers of their home and social lives, is the most effective way to help. We believe your daughter’s future is important and are confident that she can turn things around, regardless of her past. Let us give her the opportunity to change her life and move in a positive direction.

Chase was very fortunate to start in this industry as a struggling 17 year old kid looking for a mentor and something to be passionate about. Wilderness therapy was Chase’s first stop in this industry and was truly a transcendental experience for him. Chase has an enormous love for this line of work and the power that it has in creating change in everyone involved. Chase’s biggest belief is the power a mentor, strong, healthy relationships, and accountability can have on anyone, especially youth. Taking a very relational approach to his work, Chase has always been very relatable to the students he works with. Being able to understand and relate to a vast variety of the same struggles as a lot of the students he works with has been able to help him continue to grow, learn, and teach. Chase believes that with great rapport and trust, he can use his experience to continue to coach and train new staff, and has the ability to find those staff with the passion for this industry, and help them grow. His love and passion can be felt the moment you talk with Chase about this industry and he passes that on to others he works with. In his spare time you will find Chase cheering for the Eagles, Yankees, and Mavericks, hanging out with his brother, learning more about Eastern Psychology, and continuing to grow and learn.
