Who Do We Serve?
Students at Mt. Pleasant Academy are typically boys 12-18 who are battling pornography addiction, digital addictions, and compulsive sexual behavior.
Mt. Pleasant Academy students are good boys, from good families, yet they are confused, compulsive, and are struggling with some extremely critical errors of thought and behaviors. They may have learned to cope with relationship difficulties by turning to pornography and sexual behavior to temporarily feel good.
The typical Mt Pleasant Academy student IS NOT a sexual offender with multiple stranger victims and no empathy or remorse, but a young man who simply needs to learn more about his self-worth and how to cope with trauma and relationship difficulties in healthy, fulfilling ways
Mt. Pleasant Academy takes a holistic approach combining evidence-based therapy, academic instruction, and emotional development through a comprehensive well-balanced therapeutic approach. It is known for transforming boys - taking a life of self-destruction, porn addiction, and chaos and turning it into a life of self-care, confidence and peace.
