"You have been a Godsend for my daughter & I’m forever grateful for Behavioral Wellness Group, the Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program, and finally to you, Erin, for being patient with us regarding CareSource, payments & for everything in between."
"Hi Erin, Once again I can't thank you and your practice enough for helping (my son) adopt a healthier outlook on life and the tools to help him maintain it. The great thing about learning all of that is that, in a way, you can't unlearn it. (My son) now has all these other more helpful thoughts pop up after he gets upset about something, keeping him far away from his "edge". I'm seeing it happen regularly, and as a mom, it's a wonderful thing to see."
"(Erin Pawlak, Adolescent IOP) They really cared about me getting better and helped me know that its possible for me to feel good about myself again."
(Erin Pawlak, Adolescent IOP) “I definitely feel that it was very fit for people like me. I very much appreciated the way I could talk super freely and receive the kind of support and advice I needed. Erin, and even a few members of our group, always were very supportive and never judge-y. We all had our differences, but Erin helped us all feel safe and connected with each other. I just know that I really improved from this.”
"Thank you Erin and Sarah for giving me life back. I will be forever grateful! Because of you two, I am happy again.

Now, I am happier than ever. "
