For parents deciding what comes next
Outcomes we’re not afraid to show you.
Here is what happened across 56 Not Therapy coaching engagements from January 2024 through June 2026. Families we work with have often heard plenty of promises but seen very little proof, so here are the real numbers.
The numbers that matter to you
89.1%
avoided escalating to a higher level of care
85.7%
were employed, in school, or both by the end of the coaching engagement
71.4%
families had decreased conflict
60.7%
parent-child relationships improved
Where the model is strongest
For teens and young adults coming out of a treatment program
96.6%
avoided going back up to a higher level of care. If your teen or young adult is coming home from a program right now, this is the moment that matters most and where the work is just beginning. Keeping their momentum going at home, instead of losing it in the gap afterwards, is exactly what we were originally built for.
How we work with your teen or young adult
It starts with a home visit
Their coach comes to meet them in person, in the real-world environment your teen or young adult has felt stuck in before. That is where the real work begins.

Unlimited daily access
Daily coaching touchpoints by text, call, and FaceTime. This isn’t just one session a week. This is an everyday relationship your teen or young adult can actually lean on.

The whole family, supported
Weekly parent updates, weekly parent coaching groups, and a dedicated parent coach plus a family manager you can reach any day something comes up. It truly takes a village, and we have you covered.

Three to eighteen months
Four coaching chapters that start off with the most support and get lighter over time, as you and your teen or young adult build real confidence in them running their own life.

Their agency, their choice
We match your teen or young adult with one of our coaches, and we only start working together once they’ve met their coach and confirmed that they think Not Therapy would be helpful. Once they’re in, we’re all in.
We work with your teen or young adult’s whole team. Therapist, educational consultant, personal trainer, whoever is in their corner, we coordinate with all of them. And if they are missing someone they need, we help them find the right fit themselves instead of handing you one more thing to manage.
How we’re different
Our co-founders Colin MacDonald and Hayley Caddes both went through psych wards, rehab, wilderness, and therapeutic boarding schools. They built Not Therapy on what could have helped them before all that and what they actually needed afterward, which was peer-to-peer mentorship. We built it for the younger versions of ourselves, and it is intentionally non-clinical. Every coach on our team has lived their own version of it too, which is why a stuck young adult will actually let us in.

What our clients say
“The biggest change in working with my coach has been with my social life, how comfortable I am with myself, and how that projects onto meeting other people.”
Addie, client, age 18, New York City

“Since we started with Not Therapy, even my blood pressure has come down. As a parent, you are often completely aware of the potential in your kid, but when they don’t know it, it is devastating, and watching their coach help him finally see it changed everything.”
Wynee, parent, Chicago

What changes for you
They do not have to leave home
No sending your teen or young adult away to a program in another state or hoping that once-a-week therapy is going to eventually get them moving. The work happens in their real life, on a daily basis, which is the only place the change actually has to stick.

You get out of the daily loop
Someone else builds their momentum every single day, so you can stop being the structure, get back to being their parent, and start living life for yourself again. You see the progress without having to manage it.

An investment in their independence
85.7% of our clients were employed, in school, or both by the end of coaching. That is what this money is actually for. Not another year of holding steady, but a young adult who is building a life they can run, and eventually fund, themselves.
About these numbers
Based on 56 coaching engagements from January 2024 through June 2026. These are Not Therapy’s own structured post engagement assessments, not validated clinical instruments, and there is no comparison group. Some clients were still active when we ran the numbers. We are coaching, not treatment, so we do not diagnose or provide medical care, and we do not promise outcomes. We would rather just show you the real data, transparently.

Tell us what is going on and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
