Telos
Residential Treatment Center
Introducing Drew Davis, LCSW. Clinical Director of the North Campus.
At Telos, we know one of the biggest questions parents have when their child is in residential treatment is: Who is taking care of my child?
Drew Davis is one of those people who makes that question easy to answer.
With a Master's in Social Work from BYU, EMDR certification, and years of experience across residential, outpatient, and school settings, Drew brings both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every student and family he works with.
One parent said it best: "His guidance has helped my son make incredible progress — and helped me grow into a better parent."
That's the Telos difference.

As a parent, you want to know your child is not just receiving clinical care — you want to know they're living.
Moving. Breathing fresh air. Finding moments of joy in the middle of hard work.
This spring, our students laced up their hiking boots and made their way to Bridal Veil Falls — and if you've ever seen those falls in the spring, you know there's something almost impossible not to feel when you're standing in front of them. The snowmelt rushing down. The canyon walls. The kind of beauty that quietly reminds you that the world is big and good and worth showing up for.
That's not an accident. That's intentional.
Our Recreational Therapy program is a meaningful and woven part of how we support your child's recovery at Telos. Through hiking, outdoor exploration, and time in nature, students build real confidence, reduce stress, and begin to reconnect — with the world around them, and with themselves.
These aren't just fun breaks in the day. They are therapeutic experiences, thoughtfully designed to help your child grow, heal, and thrive.
Because recovery isn't only what happens in the therapy room. Sometimes it happens on a trail, with the sound of a waterfall in the distance and your feet finally moving forward.
That's the Telos difference.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
In a world that constantly demands perfection, we're standing with our community in embracing something different. Imperfection.
True emotional well-being doesn't begin with fixing yourself — it begins with accepting yourself. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) reminds us that when we stop fighting who we are and start accepting ourselves and our experiences just as they are, real healing becomes possible.
That doesn't mean giving up on growth. It means meeting yourself with compassion first.
You are enough — exactly as you are, right now, in this moment.
If you or a loved one would like help with self-compassion, radical acceptance, or DBT therapy, please contact a therapist at www.telos.org

Mother's Day has come and gone — but one day was never enough anyway.
At Telos, we say it often, and we mean it: we are a family. That's not a tagline. It's the heartbeat of everything we do. Our mission is built on the belief that it's meaningful relationships that inspire real, lasting change — and nowhere is that more alive than in the women who show up for your sons every single day.
One of our ten pillars says it simply: Think Like a Mom.
It means leading with intuition. Noticing the small things. Advocating fiercely. Offering grace when it's hard and holding the line when it's needed. It means never forgetting that behind every student is a family — and a mother — who loves them deeply.
The women at Telos don't embody that spirit one day a year. They bring it every day. The ones who check in when something feels off. Who celebrate the small wins like they're big ones. Who remind our students that they are seen, valued, and worthy of good things.
To our Telos moms, staff, and parents alike — you deserve to be celebrated every day. Thank you for everything you give, all year long.

Telos U & Telos Academy Review – A Student’s Real Journey Through Telos RTC
These programs offer a level of safety and guidance that often exceeds what children might experience at home. Research since 2000 has shown that, while risk...
Your child deserves to be seen in the classroom — not just present in one.
Most of us know what it feels like to watch our kid get lost in a traditional school setting. Too many students, not enough attention, and a teacher doing their best but stretched impossibly thin. For struggling teens, that environment doesn't just slow progress — it can make things worse.
At Telos Academy, we do school differently.
Class sizes are intentionally kept small — just 6 to 9 students — allowing teachers to attend to each student individually. Most classes also include a teacher's aide, meaning your child isn't waiting to be noticed. They already are. With a true 1:4 staff-to-student ratio, students simply cannot fly under the radar. That's by design.
