Parents worried that their troubled daughter isn’t getting the intervention she needs at home may have to look a little further afield for help. Residential treatment centers are full time solutions for at risk teens and while there are many throughout New Mexico and the country, not all of them are created equally. For instance, some parents may be tempted to turn to boot camps or military schools since they know that there is an emphasis on discipline and respect, two things that troubled teens struggle with. However, such programs are not the best choice for adolescents that need therapy and a regulated environment in order to heal and move forward. Therapeutic boarding schools focus on fixing the issues that lead to bad behavior, rather than simply trying to curb it.

Why Pick Havenwood Academy?
Parents in New Mexico may need services for their teen that the state cannot provide. While the idea of sending your teen away for treatment is intimidating, the quality of the experience you are sending them to is ultimately more important than the location. At Havenwood Academy, we offer a facility in scenic and private surroundings that are designed to help troubled girls explore their issues, identify the positive changes they need to make and get the support and therapy they need in a program individualized for them. We strive to provide a home away from home in order to give your daughter comfort and peace as well as you.
Among the therapy solutions we provide is our equine therapy program. Researchers have found that daily interaction with horses is an excellent way to learn respect, responsibility, confidence and nonverbal communication. We are fortunate to be in a location where we can bring the great outdoors into our therapy curriculum and allow it to benefit our students in the healthiest way possible.

Choose A More Effective Option For Your Daughter Than The Boot Camps And Military Schools in New Mexico
It is important for concerned parents to do their research when it comes to choosing a destination for their teen. Programs that promise to change your child’s behavior quickly should be avoided as the tactics used often involve intimidation and deprivation. A therapeutic boarding school or a residential treatment center may take a little longer, but their goal is to help your daughter do the work that will lead to long term changes in an environment where she feels safe and supported. At Havenwood Academy, our curriculum is centered around the concept of love, trust and accountability. We believe that these elements are the most important for teens learning how to turn their lives around and discover their potential. Among the other benefits we offer are:
- Licensed and experienced therapists that individualize each girl’s plan of care.
- Group therapy that emphasizes positive peer interaction and support.
- Educational programs that allow teens to continue working toward graduation.
- Staff trained in adolescent psychology.
- Multiple therapy options including recreational, art, music as well as regular talk therapy.
- Girls are encouraged to develop the skills that allow them to balance work and fun.
- Life skills training for each girl to help them become functional and gain the tools they need to become responsible adults.
- We are able to accept some insurance plans. Unlike most programs, we have the right accreditation to be able to bill insurance for some or all of your daughter’s stay with us. Getting her quality help doesn’t have to bankrupt you.

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.
