Does HelpYourTeenNow Recommend Sorenson’s Ranch?

100%! Sorenson’s Ranch has figured out how to run a coed program successfully, almost
unheard of in the industry. By integrating a “ranch” aspect to therapy, clients not only gain self-
confidence, but they also learn how to problem solve and not quit when situations get hard.
Sorenson’s is top notch with students with trauma, anxiety, depression, and those that struggle
with adoptions issues. The equine therapy piece is able to change the lives of young men and
young women who have failed in prior treatment modalities … it just works. You won’t find a
program that is more well-rounded that Sorenson’s.
