🏆 WE ARE SO PROUD 🏆

Within ONE year we were able to become Anderson's BEST Psychiatrist Clinic based on pure Google reviews!

Which means....

We were awarded BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE! 🥳

Words do not capture the gratitude that we have for being able to come in everyday and give the service we give at the standard we are able to. To be able to achieve this in 2025 means the world to us. It gives us a step to propel us forward in 2026 and we hope to achieve an even greater impact on our community this year.

Thank you to our Anderson clients for believing in us so much that you were willing to share your experiences with everyone.

On to 2026 and all of the great things coming your way!

🚨 Meet our Operations Manager, Claudia! 🚨

Claudia has over 31 years of experience in the mental health field, encompassing both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Her extensive expertise lies in administrative leadership, where she has played a pivotal role in streamlining operations and promoting excellence. While her role includes meaningful patient interactions, it focuses on administrative support rather than direct clinical treatment.

Claudia has been an integral part of UWC since its inception, bringing her dedication and vision to the organization.

Originally from Belton, she has called Anderson home since 1993. Beyond her professional life, Claudia is an active member of her church, where she finds joy in singing with the choir. She loves exploring the Caribbean Islands on cruises and cherishes her family: two beloved sons, affectionately dubbed her "Twin Towers" (despite not being twins!), seven "Grand" grandchildren, and eight "Great" great-grandchildren.

What Claudia values most about her work is witnessing the transformative power of mental health care. Recognizing the ongoing shift in societal attitudes toward mental health, she remains committed to advocating for mental health awareness and breaking down stigmas. Inspired by the incredible progress she sees in UWC's patients, she passionately champions the integration of dedicated therapeutic teams to improve lives.

🚨 Meet our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Abigail Shipman! 🚨

Abigail works out of our Greenville location and boy, does Greenville love it!

Just shy of completing her second year with us, Abigail has amassed much love from her patients. The usual adjectives 'kind" and "nice" simply don't do Abigail justice according to her patients. She goes above and beyond to give her absolute best effort to help patients get the services they need and they notice.

Ever the modest and humble Abigail that we love, she describes herself like this:

"I'm a 2023 graduate of Anderson University with a Master's of Science in Nursing. I love being a nurse practitioner because I love helping patients improve their mental health to reach a better quality of life. I'm happy at Upstate Wellness Center because it's a supportive and encouraging environment with a dedicated staff. I grew up in Travelers Rest, SC to a family of 6 siblings and so one of my favorite things to do is spending time with my family!"

If you're in need for a nurse practitioner, come ask about Abigail! She'll treat you like family. 🫂

🚨 Meet our Licensed Independent Social Worker, June Glenn! 🚨

June shares her healing talents between our Greenville and Anderson offices each week - and are we lucky!

June brings experience in counseling, behavioral and personality disorders, and an empathetic nature that makes you feel nothing but comfortable, understood, and secure.

A juggernaut in counseling, June has been able to help with anything and everything a patient has brought her due to her extensive experience in the field.

As June would describe herself:

"I am a clinical therapist, providing individual mental health therapy for clients. My education began in 2000 when I obtained an AS in Sociology, my Bachelor's in Experimental Psychology in 2004, and finally, I graduated from USC Columbia in 2007 with a Masters in Social Work. Additionally, I have a certificate from the Behavioral Institute in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I use numerous therapies: CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-focused CBT, exposure therapy, behavior therapy, psychoanalytic, solution-focused therapy, client-centered therapy. In my spare time, I love to contra dance and dance in different states and roller skating with grandchildren. I enjoy working at Upstate Wellness Center due to the friendly staff and ability to work independently and collaboratively with other clinical staff members."

June, we love the collaborative energy and hope to keep dancing with you through the years! 💃

🚨 Meet our Clinical Psychologist, Dr. George Jones! 🚨

We're lucky enough that Dr. Jones goes back and forth from our Anderson location and Greenville location so even more of the upstate can experience his expertise! 🥸

Dr. Jones is a crowd favorite for his well balanced humor, approachable, and personable character that's mixed with the respectable and nuanced manner that his accolades demand.

Patients refer to Dr. Jones as "Simply the best!", "So sweet and good at what he does.", and our personal favorite compliment, "He has helped me and so many others." Helping our patients with everything from general therapy, grief, marriage counseling, psych testing, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and so much more, each and every patient says the same thing.

As for Dr. Jones, he has this to say about himself:

"I graduated from University of Central Arkansas with Bachelor's in Psychology and Master's of Psychology in 1979 and 1982, respectively. I therein attended Florida Institute of Technology and obtained my Doctorate of Clinical Psychology in 1986. I've spent the last 40 years with extensive experience in testing, teaching, and administering psychological therapy to students and patients, alike. I began in psychology and liked it too much to want to do anything else. I've been with UWC for about 5 years and I enjoy it because I love the job and the diversity of the environment. In my spare time, I like being outside and playing tennis, golf, and basketball. Sometimes, I'll even get to hike!"

A man of diversity and inclusion in his work and hobbies and a lover of the occasional hike (but we hope he knows we'll never tell him to go take one! 🥾⛰️) Dr. Jones, we are truly lucky to have you!

🚨 Meet Our Owner, Dr. Heather Ford! 🚨

Heather is in our Anderson office not only taking care of business but taking care of patients every day!

Her passion for helping those that set foot in her office knows no bounds. Patients say that when they come in they feel right at home as Heather takes the time to listen, comfort, and understand the plights of her patients. However, being in your corner means telling you what you need to hear and Heather's caring energy conveys this in a manner that puts her patients at ease.

Heather says it best herself:

"I'm a 2019 Graduate of Anderson University with a Doctorate Nurse Practitioner degree specializing in psychiatric mental health across the lifespan. I have vast nursing experience in labor and delivery, Oncology, Cardiology and psychiatry. My psychiatry experience is in long term psychiatric behavioral health, inpatient behavioral health, outpatient behavioral health, nursing homes and veterans health. My goal is to provide patient centered care that respects each individual needs and goals of treatment as well as a non judgment space that you as the patient feel welcome to be yourself. I welcome diversity so together, we will design a plan that is tailored to your needs and goals for your mental health. I enjoy spending time with my family and working outdoors."

Collaborative. Respectful. Peaceful. That's just Dr. Ford's vibe. 😎
