DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Sept. 8, 2023 - Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt celebrates her 20th year of creating innovative and compassionate mental health programs with the opening of Galen Hope in Delray Beach, a sister center to her first location in Coral Gables. The new office held its grand opening on September 5th, 2023, welcoming an experienced staff dedicated to providing developmentally appropriate care for adolescents ages 8 to 18 with mental health, eating disorder, or co-occurring conditions.
Galen Hope is a collaborative formation between Wendy and Dr. Amy Boyers, both renowned leaders in psychiatry and psychology focused on healing the whole person through comprehensive treatment. Their pioneering PHP and IOP programs weave behavioral health care, actionable step-downs, and community reintegration so clients develop the skills necessary to return to their lives and live independently. With the expansion into Delray Beach and surrounding areas, Galen Hope addresses a vital need for adolescent mental health care with a heavy emphasis on family programming, life skills, and academic reintegration.
