Victoria’s journey with us began in 2017, and her growth within our organization — combined with her clinical experience in hospital-based psychiatric settings — makes her uniquely positioned to guide families and referral partners from first call through successful transition. Her deep understanding of our residents and our model ensures a seamless, clinically grounded admissions and disposition process.

We’re grateful to have her leadership in this role, and thankful that Katie Lentz continues to support our work through Insurance Utilization Review.

When parents entrust us with their child’s care, it’s a responsibility we never take lightly.

Hearing that a family feels “very, very lucky” to have found ClearView Communities means everything to our team. Our mission is to provide the structure, clinical integration, and genuine care young adults need to stabilize and confidently move toward independent living.

We are honored to walk alongside families during some of their most vulnerable seasons. 💙

Our team participated in an impactful in-person staff training led by Travis Walter, LCSW-C, who shared an immersive perspective on what it is like to live with auditory hallucinations.

Experiential learning like this deepens empathy, strengthens clinical understanding, and helps us show up more effectively for the residents we serve each day. We are grateful for opportunities that continue to grow our team’s compassion and skill in supporting complex mental health needs.

A heartfelt thank you to the Mental Health Association of Frederick County Mobile Crisis Services for the vital work you do in our community and for helping make meaningful trainings like this possible.

Watching our residents discover and share their passions is one of the most meaningful parts of our community. 💚🌱

One of our residents recently completed a special creative project—beautiful handmade succulent planters, each thoughtfully arranged with three succulents, moss, and decorative stones. Succulents are easy to care for and thrive in office settings with minimal watering, making them a perfect gift to brighten a workspace.

As part of his weekly volunteering, this resident cares for the succulent and cacti section of our greenhouse and truly enjoys curating arrangements. From that passion, this project naturally grew.

These planters are now being shared with our staff for their offices, and he personally selected and delivered each one. We love seeing residents supported by staff while celebrating their creativity, skills, and interests.
