Westport, CT – Lift Wellness, a leader in comprehensive mental health and eating disorder treatment, will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for its opening of Mental Health and Eating Disorder Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Treatment for Teens and Adults, at their 8 Myrtle Ave, Westport, CT campus, on Friday, May 17, 2024, from 11:00AM to 1:00PM EST. Town and state leadership will be in attendance.
Psychotherapist Mary Dobson, LMFT, CEDS, Founder and CEO of Lift Wellness, says: “We are incredibly proud to showcase our program expansions to the community, particularly during May, mental health awareness month. Lift has long been known for best-in-class patient care, and this same standard of excellence is now accessible through concentrated, structured day treatment programs that work with insurance. Our mission is rooted in providing integrative and comprehensive behavioral health care, and we‘ve fought hard to achieve status as a state-approved facility where children, adolescents and adults alike can receive individualized psychological, psychiatric and dietary care under one roof, avoiding the devastation and trauma of inpatient visits and residential treatment programs. Our expert-only team and personalized treatment model will be life-saving for so many in this community. We have finally created a program that we as practitioners would feel comfortable sending our own loved ones for care.”
In November, Ms. Dobson, a tenured program founder and lifelong CT resident, announced her company‘s hard-won certificate of need to provide higher levels of care that would keep area residents from having to enter into residential or inpatient treatment services for mental health diagnoses and eating disorders. Dobson is the first female healthcare provider under 50 to launch such services in the state.
