Testimonials/Reviews

"The program (Maddie McDowell, College Mental Wellness IOP) was a great group facilitator. I always felt safe and welcome in group. I am thankful for the experience I had in IOP. It taught me a lot and made me feel safe and accepted."

"The program (Maddie McDowell, College Mental Wellness IOP) was a great balance of individual input and professional help. The program made me feel comfortable and like my problems/concerns were valid."

"(Maddie McDowell, College Mental Wellness IOP)By far the easiest and smoothest IOP I’ve ever attended. I feel that going in depth with the skills we learned over a 7-week period really taught me all the skills I could learn to manage my mental and physical health, and that there is a lot of hope out there for me."

"(Maddie McDowell, College Mental Wellness IOP) Excellent communication from Maddie and the Behavioral Wellness Group. IOP has been such a caring community that has helped me out so much. The skills I have learned, I will be able to use for the rest of my life."

"(Maddie McDowell, Adolescent IOP Aftercare). I think the thing that was the best about this program was the wide range of skills we learned and how they were very applicable to what us as college students were going through at this point in our lives. I enjoyed this group so much more than I could’ve imagined and it truly has changed my life and improved my mental health so much. I genuinely felt cared for by Maddie and the rest of the group and looked forward to every time know I had them for support and that I had the ability to support them back. For one of the times, I realized I wasn’t alone in what I go through and am so thankful for this group. The skills we learned, and the structure of the group were both so good. I would recommend this group to anyone."
