About Us: Highlands Ranch Adolescent and Teen Therapy
Our Journey began in 2015
Highlands Ranch Adolescent and Teen Therapy (HRATH) was founded in 2015 with a vision to provide a comprehensive online resource for parents, caregivers, and teens seeking guidance and support regarding mental health and well-being. We recognized a pressing need for unbiased, reliable information specifically tailored to the unique challenges faced by adolescents and teens in Highlands Ranch and beyond.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a modest online platform to become a trusted companion for families navigating the complexities of adolescent development. Our mission has remained steadfast: to empower parents and teens with knowledge, foster open dialogues, and ultimately improve access to quality mental health resources.
