Galen Hope opened in 2021 in Florida and is an eating disorder treatment center that combines residential, partial hospitalization, and community-based treatment to differing levels depending on the client’s individual needs. They say they specialize in treating people who have additional diagnoses outside of the eating disorder that significantly impact their lives, especially emerging adults who also have ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, personality disorders, depression or psychosis that needs to be addressed simultaneously to their ED.
They also claim to tailor their programs for those who do not “fit in” with the traditional services provided by the majority of institutions and programs that currently treat eating disorders, or whose life circumstances require a more individualized approach than can be managed under their standardized protocols. These individuals include those with:
- ARFID
- Binge Eating Disorder
- Primary OCD that impacts eating behavior
- Children under 14 with AN, BN, or BED
- A history of treatment for eating disorders at the residential or outpatient level of care and have plateaued
- A desire to experience treatment with individuals who have diagnoses other than eating disorders exclusively
- A desire to integrate their treatment with work or school
Galen Hope / Galen Mental Health was started by the Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt who over the past 25 years also founded Center for Hope of the Sierras, Oliver-Pyatt Centers, and Clementine, and who currently also helps run the Within virtual treatment program.
