WELCOME TO LA EUROPA ACADEMY

"This place saved my life. It was terribly difficult in the beginning but after a few months I developed skills that helped me process the addiction and self destructive behaviors I was doing. They specialize in DBT therapy. It works. I’m glad I was there and I’m glad I got two years of high school credit and I’m glad I found the meds that worked for me and I’m glad I have my life back and my family back. All thanks to the work I did at La Europa."

"I highly recommend La Europa Academy.  Our family had such a good experience.  We never thought we’d be in a place of having to send our child to residential treatment.  Handing the daily needs, care, and emotional support over to individuals we didn’t know, during a scary, uncertain time of life, was the hardest thing we’ve had to do.  I can tell you that for each member of the staff, from the therapists, to the teachers, to the staff charged with supporting the students 24/7, it is evident in their words, actions, coordination, and teamwork, how much they truly care for these kids.

Through the challenges and the ups and downs, they skillfully guided us as parents, educated us as a family, and individualized their support for our child.  I was continually impressed with the level of coordination amongst the therapeutic team.  Individual, group, and experiential therapists worked together to ensure they all knew what our child was struggling with and when to push and challenge, and when to support and comfort.  Every three months families are encouraged to come for two days of in-person workshops and therapeutic groups with their child.  These sessions are not easy but so necessary for growth.  I am so grateful for them.  Each week there is an opportunity to virtually attend a parent support group or a parent education session to learn the skills the students are learning as well as parenting strategies and self awareness. 

Our child is home now and the difference is striking.  We are forever grateful for the wise, skillful care our child received from Kaylee, his primary therapist, and the whole team at La Europa.  I will truly miss all of these compassionate individuals who helped us get our kid back."

"Our experience at La Europa Academy has been excellent. I credit the staff and the program with saving my child's life. My child learned valuable skills. The staff is warm and caring. As a therapist myself, I felt like I knew what to look for when searching for the right program for my child and definitely found what I was looking for at LEA."

"My son (assigned female at birth) attended La Europa for 17 months to support healing from violent trauma. It saved his life. We resisted any residential treatment for a while and spent months and months exploring programs and options. He attended two other residential programs over the course of two years; one was shorter term and awesome, and the other was not inclusive and loving like LEA, nor did it offer the type of support we needed.  His therapist (especially thank you to her), the administrators, and the staff clearly work in this industry because they want to save kids lives. Thank you for taking care of my kid and getting him back on his feet again!"

"My family had an excellent experience with La Europa Academy. The therapy was incredibly helpful for our daughter and for the adults in her life. We are so grateful for Dave, the clinical Director. He has been a real gift to our daughter and family. Also the teachers were kind and caring toward our daughter. We are so glad we found La Europa after touring a number of similar programs. Amanda was always so reassuring that the process is good and that we were on the right path. I can't thank all the caring staff at La Europa enough."

"Thank Goodness for La Europa. The therapeutic staff is incredibly dedicated, skilled and patient. The academic staff are too. You can tell the therapists love their work and their students. The TLC and supportive community environment (staff) is palpable. I see the students progress each visit. The art and expressive programs are a terrific outlet for the students, which the parents get to enjoy at a student show each parent workshop. The parent ed program is excellent."
