Meet the Founders

Lilac Grove was founded by two clinicians who believe lasting recovery comes from treating the whole person - not just the symptoms

Together, Sandra & Ken developed Lilac Grove’s integrated approach by combining psychiatric care, behavioral addiction treatment, and recovery-focused innovation.
