Our Students
Student Portrait
Fulshear works with young women ages 18-24 who are eager, but not quite ready for independence. Our students are smart, curious, and capable, but have struggled with complex emotional issues that have kept them from reaching their potential. Many have experienced trauma, chemical dependency, or mental illness, but have benefitted from prior treatment and are ready to move toward self-sufficiency. Despite having issues that require healing and management, these young women possess the internal resources for success and independence.
Our clinical team has the sophistication to work with difficult therapeutic cases along with the compassion and vision to focus on potential over pathology. As a result, our program is strengths based, focusing on each young woman's unique, but often buried, constellation of gifts, talents, and passions. By helping our students discover and trust their internal resources, we equip them for sustainable lives of self-management, personal growth, and independence.
