About the Lou Masterman Center (LMC)

The Lou Masterman Center is a seven-bed Intensive Residential Treatment Service (IRTS) program serving adults with chronic mental health diagnoses such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and personality disorders. Many clients experience severe behavioral/emotional challenges and require structure, stability, and long-term support.

Guide clients in routines like hygiene, cleaning, meal setups, and medication organization-small steps that build confidence.

Teaching & Coaching

Support clients in learning coping skills, emotional regulation, anger management, communication strategies, and stress reduction.

Collaborating with the Clinical Team

Work closely with therapists, nurses, and fellow BHTs to ensure treatment plans stay on track.

Maintaining Safety

Perform room checks, monitor the facility, and stay alert for safety or behavioral concerns.

Providing Transportation
