Bodin is not simply a placement agency and we do not provide therapy. Rather, we are advocates, coaching families in creating and maintaining the best plan for their children’s success.



About Bodin

Our Consultants

Our team consists of Masters and Ph.D. level professionals whose cumulative experience totals decades. Through ongoing training and continuing education, we strive to hone our skills and knowledge in such fields as chemical dependency, specialized counseling, education and testing. This knowledge base equips us to understand not only complex diagnoses, but the feelings of failure, stress and grief parents often endure in trying to help their children.

Our specific expertise is further enhanced by our ongoing travel to therapeutic schools and programs locally and across the country. There are literally hundreds of schools, ranging from behavioral programs to wilderness therapy to schools that combine academics and therapy. Our consultants visit and evaluate them, knowing that major differences, as well as subtle nuances, can separate an inappropriate placement from a successful outcome. Maintaining constant contact with these programs ensures that we are up to date on staff changes, environmental shifts, and other dynamic elements in this constantly changing field. We also work extensively with therapists at schools and treatment centers, as well as those in private practice, to assure our families that their students are receiving the best care possible.
