Laurie Orlando, JD, MA, LPC, NCC
Licensed, nationally certified, professional counselor and attorney


Life isn’t easy; especially in today’s busy world. Having a safe place to regain focus, plan, problem solve, and get in touch with your true self helps. I try to provide that space for my clients as we walk together through the issues facing them. I use a client centered, creative approach to help people hear their own voice, and recognize their inner strengths. My wide range of experience enables me to guide my clients through their own decision making process in a way that affirms who they are, and insures that they are doing what’s right for them. As a Christian, I know that faith often plays a part in the healing process, and allow my clients the freedom to explore their own beliefs, should they desire. When life seems out of control, Treeside is the perfect place to calm your heart, mind and soul. No matter what the issue is, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey towards healing and peace.
