Solstice West RTC, a residential treatment center for females and assigned females at birth ages 14-18, is excited to announce the promotion of Kim Peterson to Admissions Director. Kim will also be managing all admissions for Journey Home Young Adult and Journey Home West. 

Journey Home Young Adult is designed as a 6-12 month step-down transition program. The home-like setting offers therapeutic support and the opportunity for greater freedoms, responsibilities, and practice as an independent young adult. Journey Home West is a small residential transitional living program for young women stepping down from another residential or wilderness setting. As a sister program to Solstice RTC in Utah, Journey Home is specifically designed for girls ages 16-21 years old who have successfully completed a therapeutic program, and for one reason or another, returning to the home is not the best option for them.

Kim has been employed at Solstice West RTC since February 2011. Most recently Kim was the Admissions Counselor and worked closely with the former Admissions Director. In her leadership new role, Kim will continue to be an excellent resource to families and Educational Consultants. Kim has a bachelor of science degree in Political Science & Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Corrections from Weber State University. 

“We are pleased to promote Kim to Admissions Director,” says Charlie Falatea, Executive Director, “Kim’s extensive experience in the mental health field, personality, and unique skill set makes it easy for families in crisis to feel connected with her.” 

Outside of work, Kim has traveled extensively around the world and has enjoyed calling various destinations home. This has given her the ability to empathize with the teens who may be at times homesick for home and family. Her hobbies include reading, writing, and socializing with friends and family. 

Kim can be reached at kimp@solsticertc.com or via phone at 813-924-4347.
