About me
All of us need support at different times through our lives. The ability to see this and ask for help is a powerful statement of owns health. My intention is to create safe and compassionate space for each individual to examine their life experiences and support them as they embark on a journey toward self discovery and wellness. As a therapist and a mom of two grownup children, I know the challenges and growing-pains that young people have to face on their journey toward autonomy and self reliance.
For the last 18 years I have worked closely with children, youth, and families from diverse backgrounds in Butte County, San Fransisco, and Napa. The last ten years at Napa Valley College Student Health Center I had the privilege to support and learn from students representing various cultural, ethnic, and racial communities. This experience provided me with a great appreciation and understanding of young people who have to balance personal, academic and in many cases work demands.
Issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, life transitions, relationship conflict are the most common problems that my young clients struggle with. My approach is holistic and I utilize variety of therapeutic modalities (CBT, ACT, Client centered, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness) to help access personal strengths, trust in you own personal inner guidance to lead you through difficult times.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Magdalena Orr. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Love her
Magdalena has been so wonderful! She is such an experienced therapist. She is awesome at validating my feelings and really hears me out. I feel so safe talking with her. She listens and understands me well. She also so compassionate and caring and kind. I've appreciated her so much and would highly recommend her. She's very helpful and clinically sound. =)
Magdalena has given me the kind of support and comfortable atmosphere I have been looking for in a therapist for years. She listens so well, provides me with honest opinions and help, and is always cheering me on and making me feel capable of achieving my goals. She is so professional and so easy to communicate with and fast to get in contact with. 10/10 !!
From our very first session Magdalena made me feel seen and heard. She listened to everything that I had to share and offered practical and supportive steps to help me in areas I needed some support. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
She is a wonderful therapist.
