Empowering Teens & Families
To Create A Brighter Future
Adolescence isn’t the same for everyone! For some kids, and their parents, it can be the most challenging and vulnerable phase of their lives. At Avery’s House, we’re passionate about helping teens, young adults, and their families to develop the skills needed to navigate the day-to-day struggles they face.
“Some teens react much better to certain treatment types than others. At Avery’s House, we design each treatment plan to address the needs of the individual. We carefully monitor the successes and failures of different treatment options and adjust our approach when needed.”

Michele Canale
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Michele, our inspirational CEO, describes her childhood as ‘confusing and traumatic’. She was raised by her very young single mother and never met her real father! As a child, she moved around to 10 different states, attending a different school from kindergarden up the end of high-school. She never had the opportunity to develop meaningful friendships or live a structured day-to-day life. To cope with her traumas, extreme anxiety, and loneliness, she turned to drugs and alcohol at the early age of 12. Left unaddressed, her childhood trauma and substance abuse continued into adulthood and affected many aspects of her life.
Michele believes that it is critical to address childhood trauma and behavioral health issues as early as possible. However, positively changing the trajectory of a child’s life, requires structure, support, and consistency. Together with a group of compassionate behavioral health professionals, she formed Avery’s House to help adolescents to begin their healing process and have a better opportunity at brighter future.
There’s Hope In Healing
Many of our staff members, from our CEO to our admissions coordinators, were once in a vulnerable situation like you and your child are currently in. We understand just how difficult, yet entirely possible it is to start the healing process and change the trajectory of our lives.
Josh Lemieux
Director of Admissions
Our evidence-based treatment methods have proven to empower both teens and parents to be more confident, emotionally stable, and motivated.
Evidence-Based Treatment Methods
I love to see the transformation clients make from when they first arrive at Avery's House to the time they leave. It’s amazing to receive calls and messages from them when they hit milestones in their recovery - It just shows how really grateful they are to be in the program.

A Strong Focus On Family Involvement
When young people are in crisis, support in the treatment and ongoing recovery is critical to success. With this in mind, the family needs to engage in the treatment process. In addition, family involvement creates a greater likelihood that both the adolescent and the family heal.
“In recovery, we learn about principles that help guide our decisions, which, in turn, helps to provide for a freeing and gratifying life.”
