Orion has always been supportive of my issues and has given me a lot of helpful advice. Their expertise in specialities that most would seem taboo has been able to provide me with help that I would have never been able to get elsewhere.

Orion makes me feel comfortable to be able to open up. I do not feel pressure nor any anxiety when talking to Orion. I feel like I'm talking to a person rather than a stereotypical experience with a therapist.
Written on Feb 08, 2024 after therapy with Orion for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and career difficulties
Can't recommend a better like-minded therapist with similar traits that we share and can discuss over therapy where I am able to truly understand I don't feel crazy,..these feelings are naturally occurring and normal. Her therapy and insight offer me guidance and great quotes to help destigmatize the perception of self-worth. Thank you!!

Orion feels like a friend who dishes out the tough-love questions and the “well, what do you think”’s that I need and does a good job wanting me to discover what’s best for ME without judgment or conviction.

Orion block is incredibly relatable and a great listener but also provides a ton of helpful resources and feedback. I look forward to our sessions every week because I know she will allow me to get things off my chest but also provides me with great questions and homework to fully move forward and keep making progress. I’m really glad I rejoined therapy and have her as my therapist.

My therapist is wonderful. Every time I have a session it feels like I’m talking with a friend. For me that conversational style is more beneficial and relatable and it makes me more comfortable. I feel like I am listened to and understood. I often feel misunderstood by most people so I don’t often feel comfortable with most healthcare providers. I am lucky to have found this therapist.

I love them honestly best therapist I’ve had. I’ve never had this many sessions with anyone. Super straight forward, easy to open up to, super chill person. I honestly commend BetterHelp’s pairing quiz cuts out the bullshit of the traditional intake appointment and calling around.

Orion is fantastic at guiding me in my healing - not pushy with anything I’m not ready to discuss but encourages me to explore my own thought patterns & to learn and grow! HIGHLY recommend!!
Written on Dec 28, 2021 after therapy with Orion for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues
Orion is extremely helpful and is easy to talk to and to open up to and that is a very rare experience. This notion is based solely on trust and I trust him completely. He listens and knows when to step in to help and when to step back and listen. Someone that is always trying to help is a great but someone that knows how to help and most importantly when to help is crucial to any recovery process. He finds your strengths and incorporates them into recovery and doesn’t give a “one fit all” approach. We go through life at our own speed and we need to be kind to ourselves, it sounds so simple and cliche but there is a different between hearing that and realizing that. I am lucky to have him on my side.

Orion is really great to talk to and knows how to ask the hard hitting questions that give you a better understanding of the situation you feel some type of way about. They create a space where you can speak freely, and in this environment, they're very attentive to what you're saying and how you're saying it. There have been a few times where I asked a question about my feelings, and they showed me that I knew the answer whether I wanted to acknowledge it or not - because I had just said it moments before. Orion is an excellent therapist, and Peter (their cat) makes therapy a little more special.

Orion has been awesome so far. They are kind and understanding but they also know when you need to be called out on something (in a good way). Would recommend.
