Welcome from the Owner

Christine Garnett

We’re here to work with you to get your life back

Let us help you take the next step to recovering the life you want to live

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself is to seek support. Whatever support you are looking for, albeit challenging at times, can be a gift you give to yourself that continues to grow the more you provide to it. Even reading this website, you are beginning your journey in recovering a life that you were meant to live, one without overthinking, doubt, criticism, feeling unmotivated, depressed, nervous, or scared. We have short-term goals in this life and in order to meet them, we all face different challenges. It is important to note just how much of a unique individual that you are, someone who is rich with life experiences to help them, even if you do not believe so now, this is something we will work on together. Believe something is important and your confidence in achieving your goals is where you begin. Addressing challenges that impact those goals and confidence (persistent anxiety, panic, depression, history of trauma, family/relationship conflict, addiction) is where Orchid House Counseling begins. Together we meet these challenges head on and help build the life you want to live.

Who we are

Orchid House Counseling, LLC is a fully virtual practice that you can access from the comfort of your home or through the ease of your smart device (computer, smartphone, tablet). While each therapist has individual specialties, all therapists are trauma informed and experienced practitioners trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – an evidenced based treatment that works on reprogramming distressing memories and emotions from adverse life experiences in as little as 1-3 sessions. In addition to being trauma trained, our therapists are trained to treat issues ranging from anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, PTSD/CPTSD, social anxiety, men’s issues, life transitions, bereavement (grief and loss), depression, codependency, low self-esteem, body image, eating disorders, mother and father wounds, Type A/workaholics, ACOA (adult children of alcoholics), and addiction (both chemical and process)

We offer

free, 20-minute consultations to prospective clients to give you an opportunity to get a feel for what our personality is like, our style in therapy, and for you to ask any questions and share comments or concerns that we can address that would help you make a decision if you would like to continue with treatment.

What can counseling do for you?

Beginning therapy may feel like a nerve wracking process – sometimes it’s uncomfortable to start something new, to share things about yourself, and to not know what may happen next. My therapy style is warm, understanding, and validating with a touch of humor. It’s okay if you feel like you can’t work out what you want to say or if you only know how to share your thoughts sarcastically. My role is to guide you back to your own inner wisdom while empowering you in the process which may look like exploring how you really feel, what your beliefs actually are, and continuing to support you in your motivation to complete your goals.

About Us

About Christine

I am passionate about working with anxiety in all of its forms (social, panic, agoraphobia, PTSD) and helping clients resolve traumas that continue to disrupt their lives. You may have asked yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” or felt exhausted from feeling anxious without knowing why. I know this because I’ve personally experienced the throws of anxiety which only fueled my motivation to learn more about it and utilize treatment techniques to help my clients that are experiencing it. When we work together, you’ll learn the purpose for your anxiety, why you feel it as intensely as you do, and how to take your life back.

About me

About Andrea

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

About me

About TJ

Do you feel like life is happening “to” you or that you’re overwhelmed by your responsibilities and obligations? When you awaken in the morning, does it feel like a giant has its boot planted firmly against your chest? Maybe you even feel like you “have it all on paper” (a good job, quality relationships, etc.), yet struggle to find a sense of gratitude or contentment. A (im)perfect storm of constant technological intrusions, increased work-life imbalance, and social constraints due to the pandemic have left many feeling more disconnected than ever. So how can I help?
I provide respite for my clients from the chaos of modern life. That said, therapy doesn’t have to be a never-ending trudge through painful emotions and perpetual discomfort; it can also be empowering, humorous, and perhaps most importantly - fun! I do my best to balance the professionalism required of my role without being overly rigid or inauthentic.

About me

About Alyssa

I want to empower you to take control of your life, to quiet that inner dialogue that is often more negative and judgmental. My goal is to help you challenge that inner critic and climb out of that place where you automatically disconnect. We'll implement healthy coping skills along the way to empower you to better manage life’s everyday stressors.
Many times these internal thoughts have been built by painful experiences that get reinforced in patterns throughout our lives. Together we will break down your goals into smaller, more achievable steps. We will uncover the "why" behind these thoughts and get you into the life you deserve to live - the one that is the most fulfilling & satisfying to live.

I have hypothetical courage sitting on a shelf somewhere that Christine Garnett metaphorically gave me during our first session. Ever since that moment, I’ve had a good feeling about this process. 15.98/10 would recommend.
