Who are we?
Courageous Healers Foundation is a collaborative of
resources helping men, women and their families heal the scars of sexual abuse.
Our founder Randy Boyd is a survivor of emotional, physical, spiritual, and sexual abuse. Growing up he had no one he could talk about the abuse and truly believed he was the only one it was happening to and it was just part of his growing up. This led him into the dark world of addiction for a period of thirty-eight years, all the while building a successful business and family life with his wife and three children. When he entered into the world of recovery in 2006, it became quite evident that he was not the only one that suffered abuse at the hands of a family member or friend. Randy also realized at this time that there are no safe places for men to get help with issues related to their sexual abuse. After seven years of intense therapy and training, and with the support of his therapist, Randy founded the Courageous Healers Foundation. In 2010 Randy retired from a forty-year career in construction and dove head first into helping men, women, and their families heal the scars of sexual abuse.

Our Philosophy
The Courageous Healers Foundation primary goal is to help our clients achieve long term recovery of all that they have lost, primarily the happy love filled life they deserve to have. Recovery is a marathon not a sprint, thus we offer no quick fixes. We believe there is no one size fits all treatment plan for all clients. Courageous Healers Foundation philosophy is to tailor a treatment plan to each individual client’s particular needs. Our goal is to help our clients recover it all; health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. We believe that in order for our clients to fully recover and reach their full potential, therapy by itself is not enough. During Phase 1 we incorporate individual therapy to help root out and heal the inner wounds of our clients, along with group therapy and family counseling. In Phase 2 we begin Life Coaching sessions to help our clients learn how to integrate back into the flow of life and live life on life’s terms. During Phase 2 we also incorporate Health and Wellness Coaching to help our clients learn how to live a healthier life.
We utilize several different treatment modalities to promote deeper healing and growth. These modalities include but are not limited to EMDR, DBT, CBT and other experiential approaches. Whether our clients our dealing with addiction or not, we also utilize the 12 Step System of recovery. Our belief is that everyone can greatly benefit by working completing the 12 Step system.
