Healing through art, play, and words

All of our clinicians offer talk therapy, which can be a great fit for a multitude of concerns such as trauma, life’s transitions, chronic illness, depression, anxiety and more.

We offer LGBTQIA+ individual therapy for those who don’t neatly fit into the heteronormative-cisgender box. Whether you’re questioning your identity or learning how to live your truth, we’re here to support and empower you.

As an adult, it can be difficult to find a therapist with knowledge of adult autism, high-masking autism, or other types of neurodiversity. Whether you were formally diagnosed as a child or adult, self-diagnosed, or merely suspect you may be neurodiverse, we can offer support to help you embrace and work with the traits that make you unique.

Do you need supervision for your LPCA, LPC, or ATR. Dr. Penny provides supervision for all of these areas.

You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! In fact, no artistic skill is required. Art therapy is effective for people of all ages in treating a variety of conditions and improving wellbeing. Learn more – what is art therapy?

Play therapy helps children to address and resolve their own problems and builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them. Learn more – what is play therapy?

Play, Create, Repeat.

At Art, Play & Orr Counseling, we use the healing power of creativity, connection, and imagination to help our clients understand themselves better, love themselves more, and manage their feelings and behaviors. Our hope is that we can help you or your child be comfortable with the person that you are, instead of the person you think you should be.

We can help people of all ages and provide a variety of services, such as counseling for anxiety and therapy for teens. Our office is cozy and welcoming, and we also offer online therapy!
