Therapy Program at AVW

Ashley Valley is a therapeutic growth program that provides the struggling adult with an opportunity for emotional and physical challenge. Our supportive and non-judgmental environment leads our students to view themselves and their abilities in a different perspective. Each student experiences daily success that challenges their negative belief system and opens the door to new and positive self perception.

At Ashley Valley our students are able to try and fail in a safe setting. We allow them to learn, not by telling them what to do, but through their own experience. Our intervention is designed to bring maladaptive behaviors into the open and to open the student up to the therapeutic process. This gives them the opportunity to experience success and the respect of the staff and their peers first-hand.

Our success with our students comes from helping them perceive how their actions today affect their success tomorrow.
