Most versions of the Doctor have a moral code that would prevent that. Violation of someone's ability to choose isn't what the Doctor is about.
I could see him taking the kids on an journey but they've both been through so much stuff with Rick already, I don't think it would have any real transformative effect.
And, lest we forget, the Doctor has messed up people badly as well through his own actions so isn't exactly a safe bet.
Emotional baggage and psychological problems aren't things that can just be solved by "knocking sense into" a person.
