Hiring a therapeutic consultant will benefit you and your family in the long run. I am not affiliated with any program or college, so my support is objective. Mental health and addiction treatment, and higher education, are all equally expensive. Having someone who can help navigate that system is an investment in your loved one’s mental health, recovery, and education. I am flexible in the levels of support I can provide, based on the needs of each family.

Understand the Story + Create a Plan + Coordinate all Support

I research therapeutic and wellness resources, recommend treatment or therapeutic gap programs, and assist during adulthood transitions. Regardless of the level of support you are looking for, I hope I can help. It is that simple. Educate me on what’s going on. I can consult to ensure I’m providing your family with the most accurate and appropriate resources or program recommendations. When you want me there along side you, I follow along with your progress to ensure there are no significant concerns. I want your young adult to be stable, sober, and/or re-launching back into adult life!


We came to Lilley Consulting at a very difficult time. Our daughter was in crisis and we did not know where to turn. Her experience was nothing short of outstanding. The personal attention, open communication and clear demonstration of care for our family was shown will long be remembered. We are very happy to say that Lilley Consulting worked with our daughter to find the best options for HER. She is once again doing very well and we are tremendously grateful for it.
