A one of a kind organization,  Wildflower Mountain Ranch(WMR) provides teenage girls and assigned female at birth with an approach to healing that has been specifically developed to fit their needs. Whether it’s our individualized therapeutic programming, our animal therapists, or our beautiful location, WMR is highly qualified to address the complex needs of adolescent girls to change their relationships and their future.

As adoptive parents, we also hold a special place for post-adoptive families and the unique challenges they face. As a non-profit, we work with Adoption Assistance Programs in funding treatment. 

At WMR, our therapeutic approach is all about connection: the identity you have with yourself and the connections you have with others. We believe that when a girl can feel safe to be vulnerable, tremendous growth can happen. As a residential treatment program for girls, we help cultivate a positive peer culture among our students by encouraging teens to share their experiences and lift each other up as women. By working with this specific population, our clinical programming specializes in behaviors and mental health struggles that are common among young women, including anxiety, low self-esteem, self harm, and trauma.

Studies show that high schoolers are more motivated to participate in group discussions in single-gender settings, where they generally experience less social pressure and feel more comfortable sharing sensitive information, such as in group therapy.  We take the focus off the initial pressures of independent adolescence and instead focus on building healthy relationships, boundaries, and mutual respect.

Our homes heal and protect our most vulnerable. We believe these homes will help raise the next generation of women and change our world in the process.

Wildflower Mountain Ranch was founded in 2021 when founders Bridget and Jeff Kilgrow decided that the services available for children with mental illness and behavior challenges were not delivering the level of services they wanted; not only for their own adopted children but for the many adoptive and otherwise struggling youth. In their commitment by applying their experience and wisdom to make better programs available, they believe that people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. They gathered a board of directors with personal understanding and beliefs in changing the community of residential treatment for girls.
