Expanded Facilities for Mental Health Coming to Chicago This Fall

CHICAGO, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 1st Insight Psychological Centers will begin occupying the entire 19th floor of the 333 North Michigan Avenue building. This bigger and better location offers private waiting areas, expanded treatment space and beautiful metropolitan views. A state-of-the-art kitchen will be catered by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, nourishing Insight's eating disorders, weight loss and mental health clients. The new location is only a short walking distance from the current 205 North Michigan Ave. location, placing it within a couple blocks of Millennium Place, the first transitional housing program in Chicago developed specifically for women with anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorders.

Visible along the Magnificent Mile, 333 North Michigan is an art deco styled skyscraper located in the easy-to-get-to Michigan–Wacker Historic District area of downtown Chicago. The building was designed by Holabird & Root and was completed in 1928 as a competitive entry for the Tribune Tower contest. It was also one of the first four completed skyscrapers in Chicago's Michigan–Wacker Historic District, giving Insight's patients a place to enjoy part of Chicago's history and rich architecture. Furthermore, with the recent triumph of the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup victory, the 333 North Michigan building has become an even bigger part of Chicago's history. 333 North Michigan is owned by the Wirtz Corporation's building management company, Wirtz Realty, and the Wirtz Corporation also owns the illustrious Chicago Blackhawks.

"Wirtz Realty is delighted to have a business such as Insight Psychological Centers here at 333 North Michigan. We are proud to associate with a company that reaches out to the community to address and treat medical and mental health issues like eating and obesity disorders that are all too  often overlooked," said property manager, Tony Rizzuto.

333 North Michigan will have more than double the area of Insight Psychological Centers' current Chicago office. "Our new site will allow the flexibility and creativity to expand services and continue to provide outstanding outpatient mental health treatment to the Chicagoland community," says co-founder Dr. Susan McClanahan.

Regarding the new office's benefits, co-founder Dr. Jenny Conviser says, "The additional space will expand what Insight already offers in terms of our intensive treatment programs and multidisciplinary approach to challenging mental health issues. Part of this positive change will be the large kitchen we will use to educate groups and individuals on proper nutrition." The 333 North Michigan location will also include a relaxing water-wall feature in its open space, many close parking options and easy public transportation access.
