About
Hi, my name is Walter Orion and I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Holistic Counseling. I have 16 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children and families, providing psychotherapy to individual, couples, family and group settings. I specialize in humanistic, transpersonal, and somatic-body centered approaches. I work primarily from a relational, compassionate, mindfulness, and nature-based framework. This holistic approach allows my clients to integrate and transform their negative/traumatic experiences by using empathy and mindfulness awareness skills, to improve their self acceptance, increase their present moment awareness and overall life functioning. I also utilize humor therapy and Non-Violent Communication techniques to increase my client’s ability to identify their feelings and needs and clearly communicate them in a more assertive and healthy manner. Additionally, I educate and encourage my clients to improve their daily self-care and healthy lifestyle habits in order to connect more with themselves, their community and the greater natural world.
