The Dorm’s CEO/Founder John McGeehan, LCSW Announces Expanded Facility in Washington, D.C. Offering State-of-the-Art Treatment for Young Adults

Leading treatment community announces expansion of its Washington, D.C. location with new amenities

WASHINGTON, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dorm, a young adult mental health treatment community that has been supporting the needs of youth in the DMV region since 2018, has announced the expansion of its Washington, D.C. location at Dupont Circle, which will open in April 2022. Housed in the heart of the city, the new space will provide D.C.'s population of young adults with a fresh and lively treatment experience with state-of-the-art clinical amenities. This move comes in response to an increased strain on local resources and growing demand for local mental health treatment. 

"There is an urgent need for young adult mental health resources not only at home here in D.C., but also across America," shares John McGeehan, LCSW, The Dorm’s Founder and CEO. "Research shows that young adults in treatment benefit from a model of care that offers holistic, evidence-based services but also fosters community support. And that is exactly what we are doing at The Dorm.”

The larger, newly renovated space integrates telehealth technology into the building's design, offering clients and families the ability to experience enhanced virtual and hybrid treatment in an increasingly remote world. Its three dedicated floors of therapeutic facilities also include 14 clinical offices and two spacious communal areas to encourage community-building and socialization. Clients and families will have access to a modern chef's kitchen for cooking groups and nutritional programming, a bright movement studio for wellness and mindfulness modalities, and multiple learning labs and group rooms for studying, creative arts, cognitive remediation, and more.

“We’re excited to offer our clients the same exceptional care in an inspiring and lively clinical space that will allow us to serve our community for years to come!” says Sarah Harte, LICSW, The Director of The Dorm, D.C. site. “The team is thrilled to offer such a forward-thinking and comprehensive range of treatment options through this new location," adds Robert L. Johnson, MC, MCAP, CMHP, CST, Assistant Site Director. "We look forward to leaving a bigger clinical footprint in the community and expanding our mission of promoting diversity, openness, and safety for all clients seeking care."

The Dorm provides a full continuum of care with comprehensive day and evening services, supported living opportunities, and individualized life skills training for young adults looking to further their independence.
