Clinical services gets new director<br />
Lisa M. Beitz started with Hanover County as intern working on master’s<br />
Lisa M. Beitz came to Hanover County<br />
Community Services as a graduate school<br />
intern in 1993 and liked it so much that she<br />
has spent most of her professional career<br />
here.<br />
The feeling is mutual: climbing the ladder<br />
steadily, she has now been named<br />
director of clinical services.<br />
“I am glad to be in Hanover,” Beitz said.<br />
“I love the sense of community, both in the<br />
CSB and in the county. Community members<br />
often grow up here, go to school here,<br />
they may go off to college but often they<br />
came back here and raise a family. There<br />
is such a great respect here for people and<br />
tradition and our community.”<br />
A Virginia Beach native, she first<br />
stepped foot into Hanover when she was<br />
earning her master’s in social work from<br />
Virginia Commonwealth University.<br />
She spent her internship here working<br />
as part of the children’s team providing<br />
mental health and substance abuse outpa-<br />
tient services to young people.<br />
Beitz returned in 1997 as a clinician<br />
before being promoted to Comprehensive<br />
Services Act (CSA) coordinator.<br />
She left for another professional opportunity<br />
in 2001 but<br />
returned in 2003 as<br />
a clinical supervisor<br />
for children’s outpatient<br />
services.<br />
She has stayed here<br />
since, moving up to<br />
coordinator for children’s<br />
services before<br />
her most recent pro-<br />
BEITZ motion, which took<br />
effect on Nov. 1.<br />
As director of clinical services, Beitz is<br />
responsible for the divisions of children’s<br />
services, adult services, crisis services and<br />
prevention services.<br />
She replaces Margaret Sellers, whose<br />
last day was earlier this month.<br />

“The beautiful thing about moving into<br />
this position is that the coordinators of<br />
these services are experts in their areas,”<br />
Beitz said. “They know what is best for<br />
their clients and how to deliver the services<br />
most efficiently and effectively. They are<br />
very good at what they do, which has made<br />
the transition very smooth.”<br />
“It’s very exciting to have grown up<br />
with Hanover Community Services,” she<br />
said. “People have been really supportive<br />
and encouraging, it’s been incredible. I love<br />
Hanover.”<br />
“Lisa is a great addition to our management<br />
team,” Community Services executive<br />
director Thomas M. Slaven said. “She is a<br />
respected colleague and will do a great job<br />
moving services into the future.”<br />
Beitz and her husband Bill have two<br />
sons, Sammy and Jake.<br />
