"We are extremely pleased that Dr. Phil has continued to recommend and utilize Aspen's therapeutic programs for teens in need of life-changing interventions and believe it is a testament not only to the quality of Aspen's programs but to the diversity of our services," said Mark Hobbins, senior vice president of customer service of Aspen Education Group.

"Our daughter had been increasingly out of control for many months; but when she disappeared for four months, we knew that she was desperate and needed an immediate intervention," said Linda Bien, a parent from New Hampshire. "We are grateful to Dr. Phil for assisting us with that intervention and recommending a special boarding school like Copper Canyon Academy. Not only do they offer an individualized academic program, but they provide group and individual counseling in a safe and secure environment where young girls can find self-confidence and emotional nurturing."
