My therapy style is client focused, with the idea that YOU are the expert of your own life experience and I am here to assist you to become independent.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Orion Block. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We have had two session with Orion and we are very appreciative of the safe space that is provided. Each of us feels as we are being heard and supported individually and as a couple. This is the very beginning of our healing journey and we look forward to Orion’s guidance as we continue forward.
Very great listener but very hard to get a schedule that fits us. I would like to get back to my therapist but for now I need this week
Orion is a phenomenal therapist whose insight truly helped to reopen channels of communication in our relationship. He is kind, professional, and extremely supportive of LGBTQ+ issues, and we couldn't recommend him enough.
Orion is easy to talk to and extremely helpful in EVERY session!
She is personable, smart, and a great listener with effective exercises. Highly recommended.
Orion is great at listening and adapting to our individual situation instead of trying to fit us into something "textbook". Conversations are genuine and sincere. The discussions are such that, after a session ends, my husband and I will continue after we sign off because the lines of good communication are open. Orion balances letting us direct the conversations by what we want to discuss and leading us to meaningful dialogue and enhanced perspective. I always leave the sessions feeling like I can work through very difficult situations and that my feelings are always valid. I highly recommend Orion, especially if you or your partner has difficulty voicing what's in their head or heart. Orion creates an environment that helps make it easier. My husband and I had a previous marriage therapist that we loved and they could not get my husband to speak much, but he has been sharing so much in our sessions with Orion.
Very patient and friendly. He understands what we need to work on and has the willingness to work with us on our issues
Orion is great. He actively listens and provides us with useful tools to actively communicate and listen to each other
Orion has been great ! He has definitely helped out a lot in resolving issues with my partner. He check in with you and gives you work so you can actively work on your issues throughout the week.
Orion is the best. He is sensitive to queer and disability issues and is knowledgeable about them. He truly understands and respects each individual. My husband and I could not have asked for a better counselor.
Orion is thoughtful and considerate and very respectful of queer people, approaching issues with patience and understanding.
Orion is an incredibly thoughtful, patient, and considerate counselor with an excellent background in LGBTQIA+ issues and more than has the ability to address them.
