Marshfield Clinic Plover Counseling Center

“Can't say enough great things about this center. Very friendly, empathetic, and has helped me through some very hard points in my life. I now feel empowered and have the skills to navigate life in a healthier manner.”

“Always supportive & eager to help me talk through various issues! I'm really happy to have started therapy here. Administrative staff is always super helpful and polite, too, so I hardly get phone anxiety about calling when that was one of my main struggles coming in.”

“I would definitely recommend Oswald Counseling. My therapist has been and continues to be very helpful and supportive in making me a better person by working through my issues in a positive, constructive manner. I can't say enough how appreciative I am to be a client.”

“I went through my employer's ERC to set up an appointment at Oswald Consulting about 6 months ago. They contacted Oswald to find someone for me to talk to about general anxiety and career advice. Oswald, in response, set me up an appointment with a counselor who specializes in faith counseling... I am not religious and religion had nothing to do with what I wanted counseling for, but I thought, ok, maybe she'll still be able to help me. During my first (and only) session, when I brought up that I was hoping for someone with career counseling experience, this counselor told me "we have someone who specializes in that, I'm sure I can ask her all the questions we have"... Helpful. I spent about 45 minutes talking to this counselor. After the first 30 minutes she, no lie, brought out the DSM-5 and tried to diagnose me right then and there. As if she knew enough about me and my problems in 30 minutes of talking to know exactly what to diagnose me with. She went down the list of questions for "general anxiety" and "social anxiety" and decided that's what I had. She THEN pulled a machine out of a drawer with honest-to-god electodes on it (like the kind they stick to your temples). I have no idea if the intent of these was to measure or what because she never explained that to me... just gave me a pamphlet about EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)... which is a questionable therapy method that she said would like to use on me. Yup, she decided how to treat me after 30 minutes of talking and quick glance through the DSM-5. I looked up EMDR online and saw nothing about machines and electrodes, so I still have no clue what the purpose of that was. Plus, EMDR therapy is primarily used to desensitize people who have PTSD or anxiety that stems from a traumatic event in their past... It's used to basically ease the response to traumatic triggers... which I don't have. My anxiety does not come from a traumatic moment, but I guess how would she know that after 30 minutes of chatting with me. Long story short, I noped out of there really quick. The receptionist was very nice, though.”
