(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."
