About Marit Lee:

As Admissions Director, Marit Lee understands that luxury amenities serve multiple purposes in the treatment process beyond simple comfort. Her academic background in psychology and decade-plus experience at Seasons has shown her how environmental factors significantly impact healing outcomes. Her Master’s research on parental bonding and substance use revealed how early attachment experiences often involve feelings of safety and nurturing – elements that luxury amenities can help recreate for adults in recovery.

Marit has learned through countless admissions conversations that many potential clients, particularly executives and high-achieving professionals, initially focus on amenities as a way to gauge quality and justify the investment in treatment. However, her role involves helping them understand that while the luxury features enhance comfort, the clinical programming is what drives lasting change. She’s skilled at positioning amenities as therapeutic tools rather than indulgences.

Having worked in admissions for over a decade, Marit has observed how the tranquil, spa-like environment helps clients transition from high-stress professional lives into a healing mindset. Many executives arrive depleted and overwhelmed, and the beautiful setting helps them begin to relax and open up to the therapeutic process. She’s seen how the combination of luxury amenities with serious clinical work creates an environment where clients feel worthy of care while still engaging in intensive healing work.

Marit strategically positions amenities as meeting expectations rather than being the primary attraction, acknowledging that “the treatment itself is why people are really drawn to our program.” This framing helps potential clients understand priorities while still highlighting valuable features.

Her description of a “very tranquil experience and very spa-like” suggests that these amenities serve therapeutic purposes by creating an environment conducive to healing and self-reflection. The spa comparison implies rejuvenation and self-care, which are essential elements of recovery.

The range of amenities from pools and ocean views to equine therapy and private gym demonstrates attention to different preferences and therapeutic modalities, ensuring that various types of clients can find ways to relax and engage that resonate with them.
