Aspen Ranch and SUWS of the Carolinas Get “Thumbs Up” From
Dr. Phil
May 6, 2005
CERRITOS, CA — Aspen Education Group’s Aspen Ranch, a Utah-based
residential treatment center for teens, and SUWS of the Carolinas,
a North Carolina-based outdoor behavioral healthcare program,
were featured on a May 5, 2005, segment of the nationally
syndicated “Dr. Phil” show. Aspen Education Group is the nation’s
leading provider of education programs that improve the quality
of life for underachieving children, young adults and their
families.
The segment followed up on the progress of a student that
Dr. Phil referred to Aspen’s SUWS of the Carolinas program
in December 2004. After a successful experience there, the
student chose to continue his learning and growth experience
at Aspen Ranch. Dr. Phil featured video clips from both facilities
as well as an interview with the student’s mother, Jennifer
Sinclair of Ontario, Canada.
”For many, many months I saw my son spiraling downward and
felt he needed some kind of intervention,” said Sinclair.
“With the help of Dr. Phil, that intervention happened; and
we admitted my son first to a wilderness therapy program called
SUWS of the Carolinas, where he was removed from all the bad
influences and distractions in his life and participated in
individual and group therapy. After 91 days he was sober,
reflective and ready to go on to Aspen Ranch for more growth
opportunities. SUWS of the Carolinas saved my child’s life,
and Aspen Ranch is now nurturing his self-confidence as a
young man and a leader.”
“Dr. Phil has been a tremendous influence on parents and
youths and has been particularly instrumental in helping families
discover new hope through the life-changing experiences offered
by the therapeutic education industry and programs such as
Aspen’s,” said Elliot Sainer, chief executive officer of Aspen
Education Group. “We’re very pleased that Dr. Phil has featured
several Aspen programs over the past year, and believe this
is a testament not only to the kind of quality programs Aspen
offers, but to the important role our industry plays in saving
families and changing lives. The ability to share these kinds
of stories on a program that reaches millions of people allows
us to bring hope into the lives of many families needing assistance.”
Aspen Ranch is a licensed residential treatment center for
troubled teens between the ages of 13 and 17 who need an opportunity

of low self-esteem and anger due to academic underachievement,
substance abuse or family conflict. Aspen Ranch is noted for
its unique equine therapy program that allows students to
learn empathy, improve communication and enhance self-confidence
and self-worth through their experience with the animal.

therapy to help positively change the lives of young people
