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 Teen Counseling might be different.
Thank you for your time and communication!
Dr. Block's really takes time to understand what im trying to say since i have i hard time explaining stuff
Orion is very easy to open up to and seems like a very caring and open person. I feel heard and supported, and get very proactive suggestions from them.
Orion is truly the best! Listens to and supports me in the greatest way during some of the most difficult stuff I have ever gone through! I'm very thankful for all of the guidance!!
Orion has been a great support to me helping me through one of the most difficult times of my life. He has been a lifesaver.
Orion is really great! I'm lucky to have found a good therapist in the first try. Orion made me feel comfortable and I was able to open up a bit more throughout our appointments. I highly recommend Orion! So thankful!
Orion is easy to talk to and extremely helpful in EVERY session!
They have help me a great deal.
She is personable, smart, and a great listener with effective exercises. Highly recommended.
Feel very comfortable with Orion
Orion is the best therapy experience I have had! They always listen and make me feel comfortable. There is zero judgement from Orion. I am thankful f for the work that I am doing with their guidance .
Orion is easy to talk to and provides good insight to the issues I am trying to address. I appreciate her candor regarding my situation. She doesn’t sugar coat my situation.
I love them honestly best therapist I’ve had. I’ve never had this many sessions with anyone. Super straight forward, easy to open up to, super chill person. I honestly commend teencounseling.com’s pairing quiz cuts out the bullshit of the traditional intake appointment and calling around.
great all-around
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.
Orion is fantastic at guiding me in my healing - not pushy with anything I’m not ready to discuss but encourages me to explore my own thought patterns & to learn and grow! HIGHLY recommend!!
Orion is extremely helpful and is easy to talk to and to open up to and that is a very rare experience. This notion is based solely on trust and I trust him completely. He listens and knows when to step in to help and when to step back and listen. Someone that is always trying to help is a great but someone that knows how to help and most importantly when to help is crucial to any recovery process. He finds your strengths and incorporates them into recovery and doesn’t give a “one fit all” approach. We go through life at our own speed and we need to be kind to ourselves, it sounds so simple and cliche but there is a different between hearing that and realizing that. I am lucky to have him on my side.
I feel safe and very comfortable with Orion Block. I am very pleased with our sessions.
Orion is always there for me and talks me through my anxiety. I’ve been able to gain a new perspective on how I look at situations and the people in my life. It’s been a relief to have someone that’s been so supportive to share with and I feel like I’ve been able to grow a lot in such a short period of time. Thank you, Orion!
Orion is great and I love everything about working with them. Listens very well and I receive feedback that is positive, meaningful, and impactful in my life.
Extremely easy to talk to. I feel like he understands what I’m going through and dealing with and he is helping me work through my problems.
Orion has the ability to be compassionate, caring and still very straightforward in his advice. I appreciate his ability to listen and offer very practical solutions. Orion is always super responsive. Thank you!
Orion is an amazing therapist. I always feel listened to and appreciated with my thoughts and my feelings. I feel safe expressing even things that I think are silly but in reality they aren’t and I am made to feel very comfortable about my feelings.
Orion is a very responsive and caring counselor. They are always flexible and accommodating to my very hectic and busy lifestyle. I was comfortable with our sessions very quickly and it was easy to start opening up.
Orion is extremely professional and helpful, but is also very “real”. Orion tells it like it is without sugar coating things and I truly respect and appreciate that!
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 well rounded and did a great job at making me feel comfortable. Easy to talk to and had great advice I never thought of.
It’s a pleasure leaving a review and it’s been a positive change I’ve seen in my relationship ever since Orion stepped in to help. If services are needed in the future I know who to contact, we highly recommend her. She is upfront, honest and not bias one bit.
SO far every conversation has made me feel heard. and I think Orion is a great asset to the lgbtq+ community
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 great! I got through a lot in my life with the help of Orion's most honest, gentle and supportive counseling. You can depend on Orion to listen deeply and give honest feedback with all of the good vibe and energy behind it. I highly recommend!
Orion is really great to talk to and knows how to ask the hard hitting questions that give you a better understanding of the situation you feel some type of way about. They create a space where you can speak freely, and in this environment, they're very attentive to what you're saying and how you're saying it. There have been a few times where I asked a question about my feelings, and they showed me that I knew the answer whether I wanted to acknowledge it or not - because I had just said it moments before. Orion is an excellent therapist, and Peter (their cat) makes therapy a little more special.
Easy to talk too and seems very compassionate and understanding
Orion has been awesome so far. They are kind and understanding but they also know when you need to be called out on something (in a good way). Would recommend.
I really love my sessions with Orion. I was really skeptical about starting teencounseling.com but it’s been super beneficial. My stress has gone down a lot. I also like how open Orion’s schedule is.
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.
