I am forever grateful for this service, and especially to Brittany Rizzo!!!Before the pandemic I knew I had some things in my mind/heart that I wasn't ready to, nor could have found the bottom of...After loosing work, as a waitress, life was not getting any easier...She kindly and patiently helped me dig into what I thought as a Tornado of problems!!!One session at a time I was given validation...Validation for my feelings, emotions, and reactions to the situations in my life...If you think you're going down a dark or troubled road, it's ok to ask for help!!!And it's even more important to invest in your self growth!!!We're all just human, and we all deserve a nonjudgmental approach to our harsh feelings about our lives and our thoughts...She taught me how to practice self kindness, how to practice breaking through my metaphorical Brick walls I created for years, and of course encouragement to feel strong enough to be me again...She changed my life and I might not have been able to share this story with you all if it wasn't for her... She is also just a human, but she's made me a better person than I thought I could be...For this, I am never going to forget her & what she had done for me!!! I hope that anyone who might be considering getting help to take at least this one step, for YOU!!!read more

Orange County Is Where Our Heart Is
Back in the 2020 pandemic, we expanded from our Orange County roots, opened new offices, and rebranded as SoCal Counseling. We wanted to be there for as many people as possible during a time of uncertainty and change.
But here’s what we discovered: when you try to be everywhere, you risk being deeply nowhere. Our clients needed us grounded and fully present. So we chose to come home. Not because we failed, but because we grew.
We’ve come full circle, proudly returning to our original name: OC Relationship Center. And with this renewed focus, we’re more committed than ever to serving our community and doing what we do best: helping people thrive.
