About Orenda Counseling Center
We understand that the decision to seek therapy can be a vulnerable one, which is why we have created a peaceful and inviting atmosphere for you to feel comfortable, heard, and understood. From your first visit to your ongoing sessions, we aim to foster a therapeutic space where healing can begin—and flourish.
Our Approach
At Orenda Counseling Center, we know that each person’s journey is unique, which is why we take an individualized approach to therapy. During your initial session, we’ll take the time to get to know you—your story, your challenges, and your goals for therapy. From there, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs, using empirical and evidence-based therapies to support your emotional well-being.
We offer 60-minute therapy sessions, with longer sessions available based on your needs and progress. Each session is designed to give you the space you need to reflect, heal, and develop the tools necessary to lead a more fulfilling life.
Your First Visit
Your journey with us begins with a 90-minute initial session, during which we’ll get to know you better. This time allows us to understand your background, the challenges you’re facing, and what you’re hoping to achieve through therapy. We’ll work together to set a foundation for your treatment, and develop a plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
Please complete and submit all forms and outcome measures via the patient portal 24 hours before your first appointment. Our goal is to make you feel as comfortable and prepared as possible, so you can focus on the important work of healing.
