(Stephanie Jacobs, In-Person Adult IOP)“I joined the Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program and it was life changing. I was going through an extremely rough patch in my life; I wasn't eating, leaving the house, or living my life. When I joined the group, I was very very nervous. I don't do well in groups or going out of my comfort zone, but little did I know, that was exactly what I need. Stephanie made sure we knew the confidentiality rules and that group was a safe place. It was really special to see I wasn't alone and that so many other people of all ages were going through or have gone through the same things I was and have gone through in the past. The 8 weeks I spent going through ways to help me cope with the anxieties of every day life were truly life changing. I would highly recommend taking the jump and stepping out of your comfort zone to do this program. The difference I have seen in my life 6 months after finishing the program and even during is crazy. I've learned to not let the anxiety win and how to cope using DBT skills that we learned. Please don't hesitate to join group, I promise you won't regret it. I'm so thankful for Stephanie for creating this group and giving me a safe place to "feel my feels".”
(Erin Pawlak, Stephanie Jacobs, Intake Staff, Billing Staff and Website Manager) “From the billing and administrative staff to the counselors, The Behavioral Wellness Group is a well-organized, clinically experienced and compassionate group! I highly recommend licensed professional counselors, Erin Pawlak and Stephanie Jacobs! They are kind, compassionate, attentive and skilled. The IOP programs are amazing options for adolescents and adults and one the only or few of their kind in the Bluffton, SC area. Another positive to the group is that they are in network with many different insurance companies and their billing practices are transparent and seamless unlike so many other groups in the area, they also offer other billing options such as Care Credit or billing installment plans if necessary. Phone calls and emails are answered promptly, and you will never feel alone and lost here! Their website is also well maintained and informative with detailed descriptions of programs offered and clinician photos and bio."
