Welcome to the Bizaan Behavioral Health and Bizaan Security Team, Joel! Looking forward to seeing all the training and experience you can provide to our security officers and clients! You are an incredible asset to all!
We are thrilled to welcome Joel Stephen, MSW, MS, LMSW, to the Bizaan Behavioral Health Team as our newest Therapist. Joel brings a wealth of experience and a profound dedication to mental health, making him an invaluable addition to our team. Joel's journey into mental health advocacy began during his tenure at the FBI, here he utilized the support of the FBI Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Inspired by this transformative experience, Joel dedicated himself to helping others, serving as a peer and coordinator within the EAP framework. His commitment to mental health led him to earn a Master’s in Social Work, equipping him with the knowledge and tools to assist individuals navigating crises and trauma. At Bizaan Behavioral Health, Joel will be seeing patients both in person and virtually, providing vital support and guidance to those in need. His role will also involve training in behavioral health/crisis/de-escalation and similar classes, ensuring our team, the general public, first responder agencies and others are equipped with the best practices to deliver exceptional care. Joel's extensive background with law enforcement makes him particularly suited to work with our law enforcement contracts. He will be conducting debriefings, providing peer support, and responding to scenes as needed. His experience as an EAP Coordinator/Peer at the FBI, where he supported employees during critical events such as the Uvalde school shooting, demonstrates his capacity to handle high-pressure situations with empathy and professionalism. Joel is currently accepting Aetna and Cigna insurances, and private pay clients. We are confident that his unique blend of skills and experience will greatly benefit our clients and our community. Additionally, Joel will be contributing his expertise to our sister company, Bizaan Security, where he will conduct security-related trainings. His background with the FBI also suits him to be a subject matter expert on many training areas! Joel is truly a jack of all trades! Please join us in welcoming Joel Stephen to the Bizaan Behavioral Health Team. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly make on both companies! #Welcome #BizaanBehavioralHealth #MentalHealth #Therapist #LawEnforcement #BehavioralHealth #PeerSupport #SecurityTraining #Aetna #Cigna #PrivateSecurity #Counseling #SocialWork #SocialWorker #Psychology #FirstResponder #EMS #Fire #Dispatch #EmergencyCommunications
