James Gordon Orrell

James Gordon Orrell, LCSW, is a compassionate and experienced clinical social worker who understands the struggle many face in remaining present amidst the turmoil of an unpredictable future and a painful past. He recognizes that when individuals are overwhelmed by these challenges, it often leads to a loss of trust and faith, causing them to operate from a place of fear, shame, and anger. At the core of James's therapeutic approach lies the belief that meaningful change begins when someone takes a 'leap of faith' and allows him to view their experiences through their eyes. With over 20 years of therapy and supervisory experience, James has adeptly guided a diverse range of individuals—including teens, adults, and elders—through issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. His expertise encompasses a multitude of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based interventions. James is dedicated to fostering an engaging and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard and understood. He values two-way conversation and ensures to provide essential feedback to empower his clients on their healing journey.
