Dr. Penny Orr, LPC, ATR, NCC, PhD
licensed Mental Health Counselor
Beaufort SC
Human beings are programed to move towards health. Thus, I like to get to know you, not your diagnosis. I want to know what you need, what is distressing you and then work with you to build a plan to help you feel good in your body, about who you are and where you want to go.
I am a queer, affirming therapist with almost 30 years of experience providing care through person-centered, compassionate support. I work with Identity formation, transfolx, LGBTQAI+ populations. I am also cancer survivor (two times now) and thus work with persons going through treatment, experiencing chronic health challenges, and thriving post medical trauma. I provide a variety of approaches for working through dysphoria, stress, anxiety, depression and trauma including EMDR, Art Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I use art making, narrative work, and discussion as processing tools to solidify insights and expansions gained through KAP experiences.
I provide individual online counseling and support as well as Ketamine assisted therapy in both individual and groups.
