Galen Hope

Comprehensive treatment for primary mental health conditions, primary eating disorders, and/or complex dual diagnoses for adults and adolescents.

The Galen Hope experience is unique in that the treatment milieu is comprised of other clients, the staff, and the community at large. It is the synergy of these three components that creates the backdrop for the sound clinical services and strong behavioral supports and expectations that lead to an unlocking of the mental illness and the unfolding of the healing process. Our treatment integrates the best concepts of residential programs, partial hospitalization programs, and community psychology in order to provide an experience that not only feels uniquely meaningful to the client, but also breaks the cycle of repeated hospitalizations, over-institutionalization, and isolation from community and family.

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, & more unashamed conversation.” — Glenn Close

At Galen Hope, we believe healing starts with honesty, connection, and the courage to talk about what’s hard. If you or someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to do it alone.

Now Open! Adolescent Residential Treatment for Mental Health & Eating Disorders

We’re excited to share that Galen Hope has officially opened an Adolescent Residential Treatment Program in South Florida, designed to treat both primary mental health conditions and primary eating disorders in one residential setting for teens ages 13–17.

Developed by Dr. Wendy Oliver-Pyatt and Dr. Amy Eisenberg Boyers, this program reflects the clinical reality many of us see every day: teens rarely present with a single diagnosis, and families shouldn’t have to choose between “mental health only” or “eating disorder only” care.

We treat:
✨ Primary Mental Health (OCD, Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, Psychosis, Autism/ADHD, and more)
✨ Primary Eating Disorders (Anorexia, ARFID, Binge Eating, OSFED, Rumination, UFED)

At Galen Hope, teens receive:
🔹 A warm, supportive residential environment, because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all
🔹 A multidisciplinary team: psychiatry, medicine, nursing, therapy, Care Partners, and nutrition
🔹 Individualized care tailored to both primary eating disorders and primary mental health needs
🔹 A robust family program (weekly therapy, coaching, Family Days, and education)

Healing is possible. Hope is here. 💙

Healing isn’t about becoming who you were before.
It’s about embracing who you’re becoming. One step, one choice, one day at a time.

At Galen Hope, we provide physician-led eating disorder and mental health treatment with a multidisciplinary team and strong family involvement, supporting both adolescents and adults on their path to recovery.

If you or a loved one needs support, we’re here.

Identifying as LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness.

LGBTQ+ identities are normal variations of human experience. What harms mental health is stigma, discrimination, and lack of support. Not someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

At Galen Hope, we are committed to providing an inclusive, affirming environment where every person is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Everyone deserves affirming mental health care, safety, and belonging.

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

When life feels heavy, hope can begin with one small step. A meal. A message. A moment of rest. Asking for support.

Today we’re carrying Dr. King’s message forward with kindness, connection, and hope.

🎧 New Podcast Featuring Dr. Amy Boyers, Galen Hope Co-Founder

Dr. Amy Boyers joined F.E.A.S.T.'s podcast The Other Side of the Plate for an honest, compassionate conversation about Family-Based Treatment (FBT), what it is, what it isn’t, and how families can find the right path forward.

In this episode, Dr. Boyers discusses:
🔹 What “true” FBT looks like in practice
🔹 Why caregiver empowerment matters so much in recovery
🔹 When FBT may not be the best fit—and what other options exist
🔹 How galen hope brings the spirit of FBT into higher levels of care through our Family Integration Model

One takeaway we love: “It’s only the gold standard if it works for you.”

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or provider supporting someone with an eating disorder, this episode is full of insight and hope.

Recovery doesn’t have to happen all at once.

It’s perfectly okay to take it one day at a time. One meal, one moment, one choice toward healing.

Abandonment anxiety in teens (also called fear of abandonment) can show up as “neediness,” jealousy, or pushing people away, but underneath, it’s often a deep fear of losing connection.

Common signs may include:
🔹 Constant reassurance seeking (“Are you mad at me?” “Do you still like me?”)
🔹 Strong reactions to perceived separation (a delayed reply, canceled plans, friends spending time with others)
🔹 Clingy communication (multiple texts or needing constant interaction to feel secure)
🔹 Avoiding deep relationships. Keeping people at arm’s length to prevent getting hurt
🔹 Fear of being replaced (anxiety or jealousy when someone gets close to others)

At galen hope, we provide physician-led, individualized mental health treatment for adolescents and adults of all genders, helping clients build emotional safety, coping skills, and healthier relationship patterns.

Mental wellness belongs in your New Year intentions.

🔹 Protect your sleep
🔹 Take breaks without guilt
🔹 Move your body in ways that feel good
