A word from our Founder

Over 22 years ago I started River Stones out of my deep passion for helping kids and families live happier lives. I have distilled everything I have learned over the past 2 ½ decades of treating kids into this carefully crafted treatment program and I am extremely pleased with our outcomes. Nothing excites me more than parents getting the help they need for their sons and seeing their fractured relationship heal.

Russell Rice, LMFT, Founder/CEO

Size

From our inception in 2000, we have chosen to remain small and focus on innovation and sophisticated clinical approach. Our focus has always been on quality treatment, not profit. We are an independent, therapist owned and operated company and not a part of a large conglomerate.

River Stones was there for us at a time in our lives when our son truly needed it and we were unable to provide that extra help. We are immensely grateful to River Stones for the treatment our son has experienced. Because of the attentive and caring staff, our son has received love, care, guidance and healing at River Stones. River Stones has been instrumental in helping our son heal and navigate his way through life.
