Timber Ridge Preparatory School for Girls is very pleased to welcome Christopher Franklin, M.S. to our staff.

Christopher went on to receive a Master of Science degree at Seattle Pacific University, one of only two schools in Washington accredited by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.

Christopher Franklin is a family therapist who believes in helping teenagers and their families as a whole system. His philosophy mirrors the philosophy of Timber Ridge Prep - wellness and success is 360 degrees of care. Christopher has experience working in both community mental health and private practice settings for at-risk children and especially youth. He has worked to facilitate anger-management groups for children and to collaborate with other professionals and government officials in providing treatment for his clients. He will also soon be licensed as a professional counselor in the State of Idaho.

Christopher and his wife are the parents of two children, ages 4 and 8 months. He spends much of his spare time cultivating bonsai trees, hiking, camping, traveling with his family, and creating board games.
