OAC was recommended to me by my pastor. Over several years, starting during COVID, my OAC Therapist helped me navigate the tumultuous seas of my husband’s and brother’s death in the same month, the selling of my house and relocation to a totally new area, and the death of my older sister – along with the resultant upheaval in my remaining family. These were terrible times in my life and I was left totally distressed, depressed, and despondent. Inch by inch, Stephanie helped me regain myconfidence, sense of self, sense of purpose, and desire to go on living in a very uncertain world – but onein which (she assured me) I could still find meaning and joy. With her guidance, I came back to the landof the living. I will always be grateful to my therapist for her kindness, empathy, stern words (when needed!), pep talks, and total support. She helped me change my life for the so-much better!

My [OAC] Therapist saved my life! My husband has dementia and I’ve been suffering from chronic fatigue and other health issues. My Therapist has been supportive, fun and on the mark on suggestions about how to deal with my husband and my health by providing me with tools and resources to cope with my day to day struggles. She’s experienced, responsive, and always ready to step in to help. I was able to tap into other resources at OAC and find a Therapist for my husband and another Therapist for a family member who lives in Maryland. Each Therapist has been a blessing to myself and my family. Thank you OAC!

[OAC Therapist] came into my life about 6 months ago when everything was screwed up. You gave me hope that I could put things in my life back in order with a little help. Even though I didn’t quite believe you at the time – because of my addiction – everything you told me is true. I can never thank you enough for not giving up on me even when I gave up on myself.

Dear [OAC Therapist]
It has now been almost seven years since my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and shortly thereafter he died and almost six years since I first consulted you. In the beginning I was not sure counseling would work for me. But, looking back over where I was then and where I am now, I recognize I am in a far healthier place with much better coping skills. I also realize I could not have made this journey without your professional, empathetic guidance. You were indeed my rock, for which I am thankful.
