AIM House

What AIM House does

AIM House is a privately-held, for-profit young adult transitional living program founded in 1999 by Danny and Mae Conroy and headquartered at 888 13th Street in Boulder, Colorado. The company serves young adults (typically 18–25+) who are transitioning out of higher-acuity settings such as residential treatment centers, primary treatment programs, wilderness therapy, and therapeutic boarding schools, providing a structured, lower-friction stepping stone toward independent adulthood. Core offerings include individual therapy, academic mentoring, vocational coaching, wellness coaching, parent workshops, and ketamine-assisted therapy delivered under an AIM Health vertical, with a phased curriculum (Intentions Phase into a Merge Phase) anchored by two residential properties — The Castle (a 1928-built main residence) and Shannon's House — operating 30–40 hours per week of structured programming and colocated adjacent to the University of Colorado Boulder for academic access.

The business model is a private-pay, subscription-like residential tuition model: families pay recurring monthly fees for multi-month or multi-phase enrollment, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company extends a differentiated ecosystem through an embedded partnership with Madelife, a Boulder-based creative accelerator, providing residents access to creative and entrepreneurial development alongside clinical care. Marketing is conducted primarily through Instagram, and no public funding rounds, enterprise customers, or technology platform (app, API, or data product) are associated with the operation. The company employs 101–250 staff across clinical, coaching, and administrative functions, consistent with a small, founder-led services operation rather than a scaled multi-site platform.

Core offering

AIM House operates a structured residential transitional living program for young adults (approximately 18-25+) transitioning from residential treatment centers, primary treatment, wilderness programs, and therapeutic boarding schools. The program integrates therapeutic coaching (group, individual, and family therapy; integrative psychiatry; ketamine-assisted therapy), academic mentoring with University of Colorado access, vocational coaching and creative internships, executive functioning and life skills coaching, and wellness instruction across two residential facilities in Boulder, Colorado (The Castle and Shannon's House).

Product overview

AIM House is a single, unified transitional living program for young adults (ages approximately 18-24) who are transitioning from residential treatment centers, primary treatment, wilderness programs, and therapeutic boarding schools. The program is not a software platform but rather a residential service combining multiple integrated components: the core residential facilities (The Castle and Shannon's House), therapeutic services (group/individual/family therapy, integrative psychiatry, ketamine-assisted therapy), academic mentoring, vocational coaching with creative internships, executive functioning coaching, life skills development, health and wellness instruction, and family support services (parent workshop, family support group). Participants progress through structured phases (Intentions Phase through Merge Phase) toward independent living. The program partners with Madelife Creative Accelerator Program for creative education and career development.
