RaChelle,
I needed to take time to thank you and your staff for the guidance you have provided to not only me, but my ex-wife
and my son.  There is so much to tell you.  My son is doing so well and seems to be adapting to my being gone.
My ex-wife also has benefited.  She appears more calm and able to deal with my son.  As for me:  Well I continue to
use the things I learned with both you, Liv, and Bobbi.  Words cannot describe how much better I feel.  I am more
relaxed and understanding.  There is so much more...:)  Being in Iraq has been a life changing experience.  I have
grown so much spiritually!!
Thank You again.

OCC,
I have been coming to the Oshkosh Counseling Wellness Center for years now, due to family problems.  Had the
staff not been able to teach me the skills I have now, I don't know where I or my family would be due to some
unfortunate events that happened this past year.  Thank you all for your time and everything that you do.

Jeff is the most wonderful Yoga instructor.  I have tried other Yoga teachers & they just aren't as good-especially
if you are doing it as a  therapuetic exercise for injury related reasons.

I have used the OCWC for just over a year for the Quantum Biofeedback services and more recently the EMDR
services.  At the point in time where I learned of the Quantum Biofeedback from the clinic I had been to a handful
of doctors trying to determine why I was having the symptoms I had.  The staff and the Biofeedback results have given me so much information and helped me make positive choices that have altered my quality of life for the better!  Furthermore, I have gained new perspective on life experiences that perhaps I'd let define who I think I am to a detriment, and the EMDR services have helped me create a more balanced picture of myself, what my strengths and needs are, and most importantly helps me be better parent to my kids!  I can't imagine not having this opportunity or this team of people to work with me!  I would suggest to anyone who is interested in being healthy; and perhaps even finding out answers about their bodies they seem to never be able to answer, to com to the OCWC.  They will NOT be disappointed!  Thanks everyone at OCWC!

Q: What would encourage you to come back to OCWC?  A:  To check in and make sure I continue on this great path.

I have been coming to OCWC due to years of sexual/physical abuse from childhood-adult.  I began art therapy with Cathy at a time when I needed an additional outlet to talk therapy.  Art allows me to express feelings/memories that are too difficult for me to talk about.  Thank you Cathy for your continued show of support, patience, and calming words. OCWC has also given me the opportunity to do Biofeedback with RaChelle.  Biofeedback is helping me with issues of mood instability, relaxation, and sleep. Biofeedback allows me to take a look at my mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self.  Thank you RaChelle for helping me not feel so alone, your kind words, constant show of support, and the feeling of safety while at OCWC.  Thank you Robyn, Tammie, Dawn, and Sam for taking the time to help in answering my questions, concerns, and scheduling. I will continue to be on a path of healing with everyone's support at OCWC.  Thank You!

I was referred by my daughters' social worker.  He heard of it but wasn't sure of how the services would be.  I was impressed the first phone call I made.  I talked to Robyn and she took the notes down and told Cherie that I was in crisis care along with my two daughters.  The same day I got a call and they opened up time for me to come in right away with my daughters.  I love the fact that the staff gets to know your name fast and they greet you when you enter the lobby.  The staff and counselors really care, you are not a number to them.  They personalize their services to meet your needs. Their office is beautiful with a calm atmosphere.  It doesn't seem like you are in a doctor's office.  My counselor and art therapist and I have developed such a strong bond that I will tell them anything because I am not scared anymore, I trust them with my whole being.  Thank you to all the staff at the Oshkosh Counseling Wellness Center for all your love, compassion and patience.  I owe my entire new life to you.  My healing process has been hard but they never gave up on me.

Q:Why did you choose OCWC for services? OCWC was recommended by my chiropractor.
Q:What has working with OCWC been like? A: It is a very positive and nurturing environment.
Q:Has OCWC met your expectations? A:OCWC has exceeded my expectations.
Q:What 3 words would you use to describe OCWC to friends? A: Positive Life Change
Q:What would encourage you to come back to OCWC? I would return anytime I need help in any of the areas of expertise offered by the staff.
Comments: At first I was very nervous as I never had to reach out for help like this before.  I am a very private person and have always felt that I was strong enough and smart enough to deal with my problems.  However, I got to the point where I needed help managing "life" expectations.  From the moment I walked in the door I felt like I had made the right choice.  Robyn was the first person I spoke with at OCWC, her sweet and calm voice made it easy to setup my initial appointment ( and all that followed).  RaChelle and Liv have proven to me that it is possible to feel better about my life and myself.  They are so knowledgeable in their fields and know just how to make you feel comfortable and open up.  Biofeedback is an option that I had never heard of until I started working with OCWC.  I highly recommend this non-invasive type of service as part of other OCWC services or on its own.  I am better able to handle stress and have an overall feeling of peace and happiness.  What an amazing and caring group.  Thank you OCWC for all that you do.
