TESTIMONIALS

Read the experience of my past clients

“The workshop was a great take-home experience”

“Having someone guide, encourage, and coach us through our daughter's wilderness and boarding school process was invaluable. Someone who has been there and can give first-hand experience.”

“...background information was really helpful...really prepared”

“Dr Fred really helped us with awareness without overdoing it or trying to scare us!”

“I am reflecting on the past year while writing a few words to say at (my daughter's) upcoming graduation ceremony. My command of the English
language is insufficient to convey the depth of my gratitude to each of you
for the help you have given us. Thank you”

“She said to me yesterday that she felt every teenager should have the kind of wilderness therapy experience she had at Opensky. I agree.”

“The workshop was a great take-home experience.”

“I really can't express in words how grateful I am to you and everyone else at Opensky who helped our family get to where we are today. We are all still working hard at out therapy but we are working at it together with open hearts and minds.”

“He was so 'tuned in' - knew subject matter so well”

“...his interaction with the audience was great!”

“We really took what you showed us to heart and used it with our family. Thanks Dr. Fred!”

“I just wanted to say thank you again for speaking at our twins group a couple of weeks ago. You had some great advice that I have already put into use (and saw some positive changes). I know that everyone felt the same way.”
