Galen Hope founders Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt and Dr. Amy Boyers share a philosophy of “leaving no stone unturned, helping clients with mental health conditions by creating an intimate and trusting bond with those they treat. Their unique program creatively blends their respective passions and expertise in eating disorder treatment, psychiatric care, and community integration.

As a result, Galen Hope does not easily fit in a box, which can be said of our clients as well. Instead, our center is ideal for those who are seeking a different experience to treat their mental health conditions, as we accept a wide range of diagnostic profiles and provide a holistic, attuned, and compassionate treatment experience where everyone is acknowledged as the unique individual they are.

we invite you here to heal in your own very special way

At Galen Hope, every client is immediately acknowledged as an individual whose story may not be represented by traditional diagnostic criteria. We seek to fully understand their life experience and to provide them with an affirming environment where they feel accepted and supported.

For someone struggling with an eating disorder or mental illness, finding a place in the world, forming connections, developing meaning and purpose in life, and having day-to-day support is vital to better outcomes, long-term health, and well-being. We create a sense of community inside our doors, where we facilitate a commitment to recovery. We find tremendous meaning in bringing someone into our circle and helping them recognize the importance they play in it. It is through these relationships that healing takes place and clients begin to develop the skills to live both independently and in relation to others.

“Coming to Galen Hope, I was unsure I would ever be able to recover, but my experience in this program has changed my life. My team was incredibly in depth and thorough in a way that helped me make a radical change in my life and build a life for myself I never thought was possible. It was definitely an adjustment at first, but sticking it out was the best decision I ever made. I’m so grateful for my experience at Galen, and I’ve made so much progress in recovery over my time here.” 

– Former Galen Hope client

“This treatment center, Galen Hope, is one of a kind! My daughter is treated as an individual. She is addressing her trauma and getting prepared for real life situations to address her ED. The family is included in the process which makes a huge difference! The clinicians and staff are excellent. There is a lot of support and monitoring with the Care Partners as well. Galen Hope gives me hope that my daughter’s recovery is possible.”

– Parent of a former Galen Hope client 

“Galen Hope from the very first meeting gave us faith that our daughter would recover and be able to begin finding the light at the end of the path. As an international family, we felt completely understood, respected, and always had whom to turn to in difficult moments. The whole staff was great and each member helped our daughter and us in a different way. We always found open doors when we felt we did not understand or agree, this was then discussed as a group in which we participated, making us feel always that as parents we were part of the team.”

– Parent of a former Galen Hope adolescent client

“Galen Hope saved my life. Because of the caring staff and amazing treatment environment, Galen Hope will always have a special place in my heart. The idea of having some independence while still being in treatment was what I needed all along. I felt incredibly respected and loved and would not trade my experience for the world.”
