Teen Rescue Academy™
Your teen isn’t always rejecting you. They may be trying to figure out who they are.
An identity is being formed under pressure. Explore the beliefs beneath anger, withdrawal, and conflict. Practice choices rooted in self-worth, responsibility, and family connection.
As Seen On:
Meet Doctor Purpose
Identity Transformation Coach. Founder of Teen Rescue Academy™. Host of The Know Thyself Podcast.
Doctor Purpose (Donald T. Murphy Jr.) is a father and identity transformation coach. Through the Identity Mirror and Doctor Purpose Method™, he helps teens and parents examine learned beliefs, protective roles, and the choices shaping their relationships.
Teen Rescue Academy™ begins with a question: Who is your teen becoming under the pressure to be accepted, avoid rejection, or protect themselves from hurt? Teens explore self-worth and belonging. Parents examine their own reactions. Together, they practice listening, boundaries, and responsibility.
After narrowly escaping a 20-year prison sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, Donald’s awakening became his assignment. From that turning point, he’s spent over 24 years immersed in personal development, trauma healing, and spiritual embodiment—culminating in transformational systems like The Doctor Purpose Method™, Teen Rescue Academy™, Rescue Academy for Parents™, and Know Thyself Healing HeART™.
He’s not here to fix families—he’s here to reintroduce them to who they really are.When identity is restored, connection follows.

Testimonials
"Project Purpose played a major role in the success of our 2018 Summer Bridge Program at Community College of Denver. Their ability to engage and motivate students especially during the tough summer transition was unmatched.
Led by Doctor Purpose, their team delivered a powerful, real-time curriculum that truly connected with our student population. We saw a 10% increase in student retention thanks to their impact.
I highly recommend Project Purpose for any youth or college-based initiative focused on transformation and long-term success."
— Andrew P. Garcia, Director of Admissions, Community College of Denver
"At Denver Street School, we believe that once a student understands their purpose, everything changes—relationships, schoolwork, and life itself gain meaning.
Project Purpose has been instrumental in guiding our students to that understanding. Doctor Purpose and his team don’t just teach—they care, they show up, and they connect deeply.
One quote from their workshop stuck with our students: 'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.' Watching them reflect on that was priceless.
We've seen real growth through their workshops and entrepreneur boot camps. I fully support Doctor Purpose’s mission to transform lives through purpose."
— Christopher J. Fuller, Superintendent, Denver Street School
"Before taking the Know Thyself course, I knew I was holding on to pain that was stopping me from fully pursuing my dreams. Dr. Purpose helped me uncover the beliefs and behaviors I inherited—and more importantly, how to break free from them.
Through shadow work, ego mastery, and soul contract decoding, I gained clarity, peace, and purpose. This experience helped me release destructive patterns, forgive myself, and align with who I truly am.
If you’re ready to understand why you’re here and reclaim control over your life—this course is it."

Understand the identity beneath the conflict.
Here’s The Plan:
Start with a private conversation.
SEE THE PATTERN: Explore one real situation and the meaning each person gives it.
MEET THE PERSON: Look beyond labels and protective roles to values, strengths, and needs.
PRACTICE A NEW RESPONSE: Build a pause, a clearer conversation, and one responsible next step.
CREATE FORWARD: Leave with a personal practice and a plan to review what changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we begin before the 90-day course is ready?
Start with a discovery conversation about private coaching. The 90-day curriculum is still being developed. A private session can focus on one current challenge and a practical next step; it does not include the unfinished course.
