Dr. Beth Orrison, PhD, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia and received by PhD from Old Dominion University in 2023. I have worked in both in-patient crisis stabilization and outpatient private practice settings. My background also includes teaching both undergraduate and graduate level human services and counseling classes. My counseling style is derived from strengths-based, CBT, psychodynamic, and solutions-focused approaches. I am available for in-person appointments, as well as telehealth. I believe that every individual has the ability to improve their lives and make positive changes.  I very much look forward to meeting and working with you. I am excited to start this journey towards wellness together.
