Today’s CWC practice meeting definitely kept us laughing! 😂

Our team pulled off the “Anything But a Cup” prank, where everyone had to drink out of literally anything except an actual cup. We saw everything from a dog bowl, to a boot, to even a diaper being used as a “drink container.” The challenge was to see how long they could go without leadership noticing… and somehow it took us over 15 minutes to realize what was happening! 🤦‍♂️🤣

Moments like this remind us how grateful we are for the culture we’ve built at CWC. Yes, we work hard and stay focused on serving our clients and community, but we also know the importance of laughter, connection, and enjoying the people we work alongside every day.

A strong team is built on more than just professionalism. It’s built on trust, positivity, and shared moments that bring people together. Today was one of those moments we won’t forget anytime soon.

Love our CWC family and the energy everyone brings to the table each day. Thanks for keeping us laughing and making work a place people genuinely enjoy being.

🌹 A Tradition Worth Carrying On 🌹

For years, on Administrative Professionals Day, Rick Stanley made it a point to show appreciation in a simple but meaningful way—by giving each staff member a rose. It was never about the flower itself, but about what it represented: gratitude, respect, and recognition for the hard work that often happens behind the scenes.

Now that Rick has retired, we didn’t want that tradition to fade—we wanted it to grow.

Today, we proudly continue what he started. Each rose is a reminder of the culture he helped create—one that values people, celebrates contributions, and never takes dedication for granted.

Rick, thank you for the legacy you’ve left behind. Your kindness and leadership continue to bloom in the way we support and appreciate one another every day.

Here’s to honoring the past and carrying it forward—one rose at a time. 🌹

Day 2 of Administrative Professionals Week and we are spotlighting two amazing women who are the first face our patients see every single day! 🌟 Meet Shannon, our Ohio receptionist in Belpre, and Emily, our West Virginia Medical Receptionist in Parkersburg! These ladies bring warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion to every single interaction. They answer every call, greet every guest, and make sure every patient feels welcome and valued from the moment they walk through the doors. At CWC, clients are guests-not customers- and that experience starts with Shannon and Emily. Thank you both for being the heart of our front desk and for loving our patients so well!💚

Hi, I am Dakota Goldsberry, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Play Therapist. I work at Counseling and Wellness Center in Parkersburg, WV and volunteer through our nonprofit, GiveMore Connections.

I am excited to share a project that is very close to my heart and central to the work I do as a clinical mental health clinician.

Some of the clients I serve are nonverbal, minimally communicative, or experience selective mutism. This could be a result of anxiety, trauma, ADHD, Autism, or other presenting concerns which can impact communication. AAC or Augmentative and Alternative Communication is speech. For some individuals it is their primary language. For others it is how communication remains accessible during anxiety, trauma, or nervous system shutdown. Either way, it is a valid and necessary form of communication. As a Play Therapist, my goal is to ensure that all clients are given equal access to care - whether that’s through play, accommodations, or assistive devices.

I am raising funds to bring dedicated AAC speech access into our therapy office so clients can communicate needs, emotions, boundaries, and experiences in the ways that work best for them. This includes an iPad and AssistiveWare AAC apps that support both symbol based and text based communication. These tools will be shared clinical resources used ethically to improve accessibility, safety, and full participation in therapy. I will be training multiple providers on utilizing these resources so accessible care is maximized.

This work is part of GiveMore Connections and reflects my ongoing commitment to neurodivergent affirming and accessible mental health care. Communication should never be a barrier to receiving support. I need your help. We need to raise $2,000 to get this program running. Your gift is 100% tax deductible.

If you are able and would like to support this effort, you can donate here:

If you are not able to donate, sharing this post also helps more than you know. Thank you for supporting access, inclusion, and honoring every voice.
