Testimonials

(Maddie McDowell Rabah, College Mental Wellness IOP) “The whole program was wonderful! You felt included, seen, and supported during check-ins.”

(Dr. Glovan, Health and Wellness IOP) “Providing a safe, non-judgmental environment to open up about issues and struggles. I find IOP so incredibly helpful and am so grateful to be a part of it.”

(Genna Weinberg, In-Person DBT IOP) “The IOP program was great at balancing skill development with group therapy. Everyone felt safe and heard within group. Genna is a great facilitator. She makes sure everyone has a voice and is heard. She adequately challenges out assumptions and helps us feel safe to share our stories in group."

(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “It was overall a good experience. I am a changed person from when I started. Between this program and NA (which I never would have to without IOP). I feel like I have the ability to have a good life off of drugs. I never would have considered this possible a few months ago.”

(Erin Pawlak - Adolescent IOP) "Erin Pawlak is a skilled, compassionate counselor and a wonderful person! I highly recommend her as a counselor and her IOP program for teens. It has been so very supportive for my family and life changing experience for my 17-year-old son! She is very responsive to teens and their families and teaches them skills for emotional and mental wellness that become lifelong assets in their personal life as well as school or career. I am so thankful for Erin and her program!"

(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Adult Mental Health IOP) “Stephanie is awesome! She listens, cares, is very positive and kind. She helps you see perspectives and she can see your perspectives also. Stephanie is the best. She helped me get through the program.”

(Dr. Glovan, Health and Wellness IOP) “Dr. Glovan listens to me and respects me. (He) encouraged me in my progress. The program has made
a difference in my and my family’s life.”

(Dr. Glovan, Health and Wellness IOP) “Today is my 1st day returning to work...I just want to say The Health and Wellness IOP has been great. I already miss it, but I already feel like I have some skills that I am using. The best part of my day is relating to others, which feels so good. IOP is such a positive experience. All I can say is, it's been a wonderful experience for me. And thank you!!”

(Genna Weinberg, In-Person DBT IOP) “I would love a typed-out version of every word that comes out of the instructor’s mouth explaining the skills. I know that can’t happen, but the instructor is truly amazing. The feel of safety and relaxation with all the people who come and go is amazing. Watching and listening to others and their issues is an amazing experience, and all the love and support from others is amazing. I will truly miss this when it’s time to leave.”

(The Behavioral Wellness Group Staff) “Most experienced, intelligent, and kindest staff I know. I would recommend them to everyone!”

(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “I felt that no matter the topic or issue, there was always an answer and explanation. My feelings were always validated, and I felt understood. On days where I wasn’t acting myself, I was brought out of it and Michael knew right away. I felt very comfortable sharing my history and receiving feedback. If a subject was touchy, he would make sure to verbalize it was okay to shut it down and made me feel very safe in this environment.”

(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “This IOP program has been life changing. Michael truly cares about his patients. I never felt judged or unable to speak my mind during the sessions. He also made sure that the group environment was one where we all felt safe, respected, and comfortable to have these difficult discussions about our addictions. I never imagined being able to talk about alcohol issues with anyone, but I felt so comfortable in our group that I was completely open and honest about everything. I also felt supported by Michael and the group members throughout this entire process. I never felt “alone”. I love that this program focuses on addiction but ALSO the underlying causes behind it such as depression, anxiety etc.... It helped me to understand why I have the relationship with alcohol that I did and how to handle emotions/situations without it. All of the skills we were taught were instantly applicable to real life. I honestly cannot think of anything that needs improvement. This has been one of the most important and best experiences of my life.

Michael has saved my life. I know that might sound “dramatic”, but he truly has. I was headed down a bad path with alcohol and got my first legal problem with it. Alcohol was truly ruining the bright future I had worked so hard for, and I was terrified to quit and terrified not to quit as well. Completing the IOP has given that light back to me in regard to my future. I know it will continue to be hard work BUT I now have the skills and
confidence to be successful at sobriety. I cannot thank Michael and my fellow group members enough. I will always be thankful for this experience.”

(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Adult Mental Health IOP) “Stephanie supports and empowers folks struggling with mental illness. When I met with Stephanie C., for my intake, I had some things come up that made me emotional. Stephanie teared up as well, and she also did once in class when a member brought up some heavy things. Stephanie truly cares about others and it shows. Stephanie also gives great advice to help navigate members using any of the various coping strategies from the course.”

(Genna Weinberg, In Person IOP) “Comfortable atmosphere with well rounded group of ages to share personal information. Genna specifically always made me feel comfortable and gave us options to share or not share.  Genna, thank you so much for showing so much care for everyone in the group. I truly felt your empathy and really appreciate how you go above and beyond for everyone to feel comfortable. You always offer extra resources and personal suggestions. You are a gem, and BWG is lucky to have you.”

(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Adult Mental Health IOP) “Listen to everyone and provide feedback. I feel the group is a very good
program and I felt it helped me a lot with my issues and taught me skills to use for my issues.”

(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “I thought Mike did an excellent job running the program. It really helped me. I really miss all the people I met in the IOP, and I wish everyone the best.”

(Dr. Glovan, Health and Wellness IOP) “Unconditional support, honest yet compassionate feedback, keeping track of details in our lives and the evolution seen in each other clear explanation of skills with good examples and real-world application. The program was life-changing for me. I experienced the rewards of connection and support that come from vulnerably sharing my experiences in group. I gained more self-awareness and knowledge about how to maintain my mental health, and I walked away with more confidence to cope with life’s challenges. Thank you for ushering me through a difficult time in my life with such care.”

"(Genna Weinberg, In-Person IOP) Foster a caring, nonjudgemental & insightful learning environment for everyone. Genna truly cares & it shows. She has helped me improve my self-esteem profoundly.”

(Genna Weinberg, In Person IOP) “I just wanted to reach out and express some gratitude for you and the program. I am doing so SO much better and I would not be where I am without the time I spent in the IOP.  The work you do is truly life changing and I hope you know that! You go above and beyond to help people during their worst times. Your positive attitude and encouragement is amazing. I can’t wait to be a therapist and help people like me, and your example will always be in my mind.”

(Maddie McDowell-Rabah, College Mental Wellness IOP) “Maddie does a great job keeping everyone attentive and involved in the session. She is also great at really listening and getting to know each individual in the group.”

(Stephanie Cerula, Evening Adult Mental Health IOP) “Stephanie is caring and supportive. She explains the lessons well and takes a vested interest in our lives and the progress we make. I would highly recommend her IOP to anyone struggling with their mental health.”

(Michael Pollak, Dual Diagnosis IOP) “You are caring and approachable.  All clients are heard from, and time is set aside (for bigger issues to be discussed).  I entered the program to deal with my anxiety and depression and learned so many new life skills that I can now apply to my daily life.”

“This program is amazing... the best therapy I have ever received. I feel well equipped to carry on both in my sober life and with how I respond to people and my interpersonal skills. I also am way more cognizant of taking care of myself and treating myself way better... Thank you for making it easy to care for myself. I am so grateful for the program and for Michael."

"The strength and support that I have received from this group (The Health and Wellness Intensive Outpatient Program) is unbelievable. Dr. Glovan is an amazing therapist and human being. He truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable. This group has given me all the tools that I will need to use and apply within my life."

(Austin Oberfeld, Psy.D.) “I just wanted to say thanks for all that
you do for everyone through BWG. Dr. Oberfeld has been
incredibly helpful to me. I’ve had a great experience with him so
far, and he does a great job.”
