Meet the Team

Our Method

In order to present the best set of treatment options for each family, our team regularly travels around the country visiting programs, getting to know clinical staff, administrators, residential staff and teachers. Our team also frequently attends conferences where they learn about the latest developments in residential treatment and meets and builds relationships with professionals from around the country. In the context of this vast body of continually evolving knowledge Crossman Educational Consulting carefully evaluates all available information on each client, consults with all professionals who have worked with the child and family, and analyzes all of the choices. Then based on various considerations of the family, and in consultation with program staff and clinicians, we come up with a small selection of options for the family.

Stephanie decided to commit her efforts entirely to helping struggling adolescents and young adults to find their personal path out of trouble and back to success.

As the parent of a child who struggled during high school and then went on to successfully graduate from boarding school and college, Stephanie knows first hand how complicated it can be to find just the right match for a child and knows how many factors contribute to making a decision like this and how overwhelming they are. She will help you consider all of them, balance them, and arrive at a productive solution. When visiting therapeutic programs, Stephanie asks herself, “Could I see my child here?” or “Would I feel comfortable sending my child here?” Only if the answer is “Yes”, will she ever recommend a program to a family.
