Read More “Compass Rose Academy“
Dr. John Towsend and Mike Haaere share with our audience Compass Rose Academy’s clinical growth model that goes beyond symptom reduction to address problems at their source by accurately diagnosing and treating issues in key areas of the internal character structure.
While symptom reduction is often temporary, our in-depth work builds healthy character needed to meet life’s challenges during the teen years, and into adulthood.
