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.
