In the 1980s, Dr. Gregory Jantz, renowned psychologist and mental health author, discovered a disconnect between disorders and available mental health treatment that offered long-term solutions. This is what led him to building a team who focused on whole-person care, ultimately creating A Place of Hope.
Based in Edmonds, Washington, this 50+ bed program focuses on lifestyle, nutrition, faith, therapy, exercise, sleep and environment throughout the four-week minimum treatment. After 40 years, it has become the leading center for depression treatment, attracting high-profile clients and even higher success rates. A significant percentage of patients choose to extend their time or even return out of their own election once the sustainable impact on their mental health, their lives, and relationships is realized.
Dr. Jantz is a best-selling author of over 45 books, and appeared on regular media interviews as an advisor on mental health crises, always aiming to remove the stigma surrounding the topic.
His energy is contagious, with a spirit that never ceases to provide encouragement and a sense of hope for those who are facing some of their darkest days.
The work included acting as The Center's fully outsourced marketing agency. We traveled to Edmonds, conferences, and media events to be involved in every element of his personal brand, and to increase traffic and inquiries for the treatment program.
The challenge was to pull all of this together into cohesive brand language, while providing distinctions between The Center and his personal brand as an author and keynote speaker.
We produced photoshoots of the books he released each year, captured his lectures, designed marketing materials, curated social content, edited thousands of client testimonial videos, created public and private newsletters, and managed all elements of the website.
Experiencing his impact in real time, through conversations and stories in the countless of lives he saved was an extraordinary thing to witness.
In July of 2025, Dr. Jantz tragically passed away in an auto incident. The 600+ people in attendance at his Celebration of Life was a testament to the effect he had on others through his career, leadership, and the path he paved for life-changing mental health treatment.
