Orlando Dowdy
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist - DMin, MDiv
I believe every human being should have access to the quality health care they need. Unfortunately, this is not the case or the world we live in. I am glad to be part of Open Path Collective which makes health care for the soul, commonly known as mental health, accessible and affordable.I am a pastoral counselor who believes in the authenticity of each person’s struggles as they encounter them in their journey through life. I seek to help others in the curing of their souls through psychotherapy. I make every effort to provide a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, supportive, safe, nurturing and empathic. Making the decision to come to counseling can be difficult and overwhelming. It’s a privilege for me to be present with you in this process.Pastoral counseling is a unique form of counseling which uses spiritual resources as well as psychological understanding for healing and growth. Certified pastoral counselors are licensed mental health professionals who have in-depth theological education or training. As a clinician I respect the spiritual commitments and religious traditions of others.
