About Us

          As Managing Director of the firm, Scott actively supervises all cases. With over 30 years helping families, Scott has unmatched knowledge and experience in helping families navigate treatment. 

Scott travels extensively and is a tireless researcher. He has visited hundreds of therapeutic programs, boarding schools and treatment centers in an effort to have the knowledge and relationships to help guide parents through a crisis.

In 1987, Scott began his career working with struggling teens as a direct care staff at a therapeutic boarding school. Scott ran groups, provided individual counseling, taught classes and facilitated adventure trips at a boarding school in California. 

In 1995, Scott moved to Georgia to manage the admissions at a college preparatory, therapeutic school. He then joined a treatment group in Huntington Beach CA, managing the admissions for both an outdoor adventure program and a residential treatment center. After helping with a successful startup, Scott was recruited to a boutique treatment company. 

As Director of Special Projects, he was materially involved in starting treatment programs in NY, NC and TX. He also supported the acquisition and integration of treatment programs in MT, NC, OR and UT, later being promoted to National Director, for a division of treatment programs. 

In 2009, Scott joined a private consulting firm and established their office in Dallas, TX, where he began working directly with families as a private case manager. During his tenure as the firm's Managing Director, Scott  supervised a team of therapeutic and college consultants in Atlanta, Austin and Dallas. Combining his experience in admissions and consulting Scott has successfully guided thousands of families through treatment. 

Scott's expertise is unmatched. His understanding of the inner workings of how special needs schools and treatment programs work is why psychiatrists, psychologists and program professionals refer their clients to him again and again. 

Lastly, as a husband and father, Scott is passionately committed to making sure that his students are treated the same, as if it was his daughter being cared for. 

 In 2024, after over 40 years helping families, Dr. Solochek PhD has decided to step back and will no longer be taking an active role in managing therapeutic cases. Her ongoing friendship and support will continue to be valued beyond measure. Her sage advice and counsel will likely be called upon often.
