Academic Answers OC - Laguna Niguel, California

I’m writing this review to help parents with struggling teens. Finding appropriate treatment options is hard enough, and the thought of sending your child away is one of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make.

Our family was in crisis over a year ago, and I’m grateful to share that, thanks to Debbie Hopper at Academic Answers, our family is now back on track. We started working with Debbie Hopper in December 2022. She connected us with one of the best wilderness programs, and transport to get our son to the program. Fast forward to just over a year and we are now reunited as a family. Most important, our son is thriving.

Making decisions when your family is in crisis is tough. Debbie provided us with the support we needed when we needed it. She is direct when she needs to be, and worked with our family when we decided to take the lead on our son’s recovery. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and connected to the top practitioners in this field.

I highly recommend Debbie Hopper with Academic Answers. I first contacted Debbie for help in placing my daughter in a therapeutic residential program. I had exhausted all avenues within my ability and was scared for my child's future. From the first time I spoke with Debbie, I had an overwhelming sense of relief that I had finally found help that would move us in the right direction. Debbie is very thorough, listens very well and has a caring heart to help her clients. Her follow through is amazing and her communication excellent. She genuinely cares that her clients' needs are being met and is always willing to answer questions and provide insight. I am forever grateful that I found Debbie and Academic Answers and would strongly recommend both the company and Debbie.

Debbie Hopper was our Education Consultant (EC) for the past year. She was instrumental in helping us connect with the right programs for our son who was in crisis. From Wilderness Program, to aftercare, and now transitioning back into a traditional education setting, Debbie has provided us with everything needed to bring success and healing for our child and family. There are so many options out there and having an expert who combs through all of the details and history to find the right match is KEY! Hiring an EC was a smart investment for us as timing and early intervention are critical. We recommend Debbie without hesitation.

I highly recommend Academic Answers OC and Debbie Hopper. Finding treatment for a troubled teen can be very daunting. Debbie helped show us the way. She is committed, extremely organized, knowledgeable, supportive, has great communication and very dependable. She has helped us better understand and navigate the therapeutic process and figure out what was the best treatment for our child. I am extremely grateful.

We were referred to Debbie at Academic Answers when our teen son was having severe anxiety and school phobia. At first, we were hesitant- thinking we could find facilities and professionals on our own. From the first interview, she was professional and thorough. She considered all the variables for our son's mental/emotional/academic needs, as well as geography/costs/insurance, and IEP too. All our doubts were quickly cleared when she found the best solution for our child. She was an invaluable resource over the full 12 month relationship as our son transitioned from one program through the next appropriate step down program. He's now comfortable and re-enrolled in school. She's caring, genuine, accountable, and very knowledgeable in this field. Highly recommend.

The help and support of our Educational Consultant cannot be overstated. We are the parents of a troubled child who needed residential treatment. At first, we tried to find the right place on our own, and we made some very costly mistakes. Thankfully, we found Debbie at Academic Answers, who found the right place for our son.
