ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Granato Group, a respected behavioral health company in Virginia, has announced a rebrand of its visual identity to unite with its parent company, LifeStance Health. Since August 2020, Granato Group has been part of the LifeStance Health family. Now, the practice will unify with other LifeStance Health clinics across the country under the LifeStance Health name.

Granato Group will officially change its name to LifeStance Health on March 1, 2021, though the transition will begin in early January. The rebrand solidifies the company's stance as an industry leader offering compassionate, convenient, and comprehensive mental health services. As the need for access to high-quality behavioral health services has grown over the years, Granato Group and LifeStance Health have risen to meet those needs. Now, they'll continue to do so under one name, improving access to quality care as they continue to grow across the country.

"As a new member of the LifeStance family, we have truly come in at the best time," said Laura Granato, Ph.D. LPC, LMFT, and executive director of Granato Group. "As we grow with the national brand, I'm confident our patients will only see positive changes. While they can see the same providers and use the same insurance, they'll also notice improvements to the patient experience and the services we offer."

"With the events of this year, the need for mental health care is more urgent than ever. Rebranding under LifeStance Health will prove to be important for our providers, patients and communities while we work to close the gap in access to affordable mental health services," said Michael Lester, CEO of LifeStance Health. "I'm proud of the work our team has put into this transition, and I look forward to seeing where we go next. While the name might be different on our clinics, our mission to improve access to compassionate, comprehensive, and convenient mental health services remains the same."
