Counseling
My orientation as a psychologist marries the best of humanistic and transpersonal psychology with that of natural medicine. We recognize our physiological and psychological interconnectedness, well documented by psychoneuroimmunology.
The modes of healing that I use are primordial, relying on supporting the bodies own natural healing responses, and finding answers which lay within the self.
I teach cognitive and spiritual intrapersonal and interpersonal skills which result in increased positive coping, internal resiliency and life satisfaction. I facilitate the processing and integration of non-ordinary experiences from altered states.

“I am very happy to endorse Carolyn Williams Orlando, Ph.D., a former student of mine at Saybrook University.
