Yes, it can. I have had the privilege in traveling the globe and seeing what is available in state of the art treatment for addiction. It doesn’t need to cost an “arm and a leg”. It can be a such positive experience as to transform a person from dependency on substances to an engaged, delightful person “to be around” once again. How long has it been since you’ve seen that family member in “a good place”, and sober? If you can think openly about recovery solutions, then we have one that’s affordable and effective. Plus, we can provide the name of an affordable interventionist to get the process to move forward quickly without any further hesitation. Isn’t it time to get the help before it’s simply too late? 877-571-2524. And welcome home to a new life!
Friday morning breakfast in Los Gatos!
It’s always a treat for me when I’m in town to attend our gathering of mental health and education professionals, the “movers and the shakers” of the Bay area therapeutic and recovery community. The old timers introducing the newcomers, and really getting a sense of each other’s practice and updating our lives. Collaborative support for us in the mental health and education community is really essential in “taking care of each other.” I count on this group to be welcoming and affirming of each other while looking at each as resources for our clients. It takes a village, and in this Los Gatos is a great hub of support for our professional group. When you consider working with a clinician, ask yourself how they are connected with others within the professional community of licensed practitioners, and others who work as paraprofessionals. Then you can make the right decision for yourself and your family.
Amsterdam Paleis op de Dam Office
We have found the Dutch to be very gracious and health oriented toward families and community. Dr Burdick’s services were presented to a group of therapists and psychologists in the Netherlands with positive response. After years of working “out of suitcase” so to speak in marketing these services, families can now find Dr Burdick working with other professional colleagues out his Amsterdam location. If you have a family who needs a boarding school in the US or abroad or an intervention for a troubled teen / young adult, do give us a call in London +442032397630 or 877-571-2524 in the US. We will have you meet with one of our associates and put Dr Burdick on a SKYPE call to you. Thank you for the trust you place in our services.
News: Cape Town ICP 2012: Presentation a success! Standing room only!
More than 5700 delegates later, the International Conference for Psychology held in Cape Town South Africa was a complete and undeniable success. I presented a talk entitled the “Wild West of Wilderness Therapy” complete with research, literature review, and clips of interviews of students and staff from Wingate. Shayne Gallagher provided a demonstration of primitive skills, as the interviews ran in the background. So many professional psychologists reached out afterwards to ask how they could gain more perspective to use wilderness programs. Of course, days before and during the conference networking helped to increase the comfort of contacts in sending youth over to the US. Already, one family has come forth and moving forward to get help for their daughter. Another is in need of a recovery program. Still another is coming from Australia in need of structure for a young man with ADHD. The wonderful part is that we are speaking the same language of health and wellness. International options is our forte.

Second Nature Cascades to Cascades Crescent Transitions to New Leaf Academy to Academy at Sisters and to finally Dragon Fly Transitions —- all in three days. It’s positive stuff, and for parents and family members to recognize that there are options out there is important. Perhaps the biggest news is that there are communities of healing out there, invested in the transformation of individuals and family. If the existence of “family” is an investment you can support, and if yours is a family worth saving, then, consider our services in making a healthy family possible.
