I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all interested in engaging in behavioral health therapy. My name is Christian Orlando LMHC, MS and I am passionate about helping people make progress in their recovery from mental health illness and/or addiction. In the past as well as currently, I work with a vast array of ages from young adult to geriatrics . I like to utilize different therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy for each individual client. Each person in the world is unique, with different strengths and and capabilities, therefore, effective therapy should also be unique to each client to achieve the best outcomes desired. I love to continuoulsy increase my understanding of new approaches to treatment as well as new and existing services offered to help individuals and families impacted by mental health and/or addiction diagnoses. Everyone is entitled to be given a chance to reach their fullest potential and live a satisfying life, so I believe that staying current on therapeutic practices and increasing my knowledge of community resources is a requirement for me to effectively assist a person motivated to feel better, become healthier, and to cope with the obstacles that life sometimes throws into the mix. When I am given the opportunity to work with a new client, I believe forming a healthy therapeutic relationship, earning client trust, and gaining comprehensive knowledge of client specific approaches and resources is my responsibility as the therapist guiding a client to feeling better and achieving personal goals. I like to focus on the positive aspects of life, and utilize such to increase motivation of clients and to help the client regain the confidence in themselves and in their individual capabilities needed to achieve personal success. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about my thoughts, I look forward to listening and helping all who reach out to me. Christian Orlando LMHC, MS
