More about Orin
- 26 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I work with individuals, couples, and families, primarily using CBT along with other culturally responsive approaches. I believe every client system holds the internal strength to move forward, and that therapists can be valuable partners in helping clients navigate toward their goals. My focus is on building intrapersonal strengths as a foundation for growth, and I draw from a range of techniques to support each client’s unique journey.
