The Ruben Group coaches empower families in their journey to seek healthy changes in their loved ones and in themselves, while creating a safe space for a successful and harmonious future.
Our Approach
Our coaches have decades of experience with a unique approach in guiding clients via experiential, cognitive-behavioral, relational, and pragmatic techniques to meet your needs. We work with families to enhance respectful and open communication, create a structure of accountability, and utilize elements in nature to guide them through their day to day life. We promote a values-driven approach so that established boundaries are based on the beliefs of the family system. With expectations and boundaries clear, often through a family agreement, a space is opened for developing emotional safety.
About Us
We guide families in whatever step of their journey they are currently in. This can include the first steps of evaluating whether a treatment center or wilderness program is appropriate, and helping families agree on the best option. If residential treatment is not chosen as the optimal path, we can assist the family in building a core team of care and support for their loved one. Our involvement can continue during treatment and when loved ones return home. A tailored approach is taken based on the needs of each individual family. Our team is well versed in going with the flow and figuring out creative solutions with you as situations develop. We understand being fluid and flexible is what best serves our family partners.
Part of our time spent with families often includes creating a home agreement. Our engaged approach helps parents or loved ones set and hold boundaries, based on their own family value system, and to guide families in communicating in a more loving and transparent way. Our team brings together the assets gained from decades of diverse clinical experience.
Our coaches have experience in wilderness therapy, residential and outpatient treatment programs, health, wellness and private practice. Some areas of speciality are anxiety and depression, case management, substance abuse, mental wellness, L.G.B.T.Q.I.A., neuro-diverse clients, attachment issues, narcissistic abuse and leadership. As a team, we actively practice staying true to the core concepts we emphasize with families. More simply said, we walk the talk. Our coaches work hard every day with one another in the spirit of collaboration, understanding each other’s point of view, communicating honestly yet respectfully, and managing appropriate boundaries. Most importantly, we work together because each of us genuinely loves our work. In a way, we are our own family system, and we strive to keep our family strong, loving and authentic.
