Hello friends, my name is Orin and I am so grateful to be doing the work that I love. I am from Central California, born and raised, so I know the In-n-Out menu by heart, flip-flops are a wardrobe essential, and eating outdoors was the norm way before the pandemic. I am known for wearing colorful tie-dye shirts, because I love the symbolism of peace, love, and understanding. Those are the ideals that I try to embody.
I am driven by a desire to help others meet themselves with love and understanding, wherever they are in life. This is what gives me fulfillment. I accomplish this objective by collaboratively working with clients to establish a mindfulness lifestyle, focused on kindness, acceptance, respect for others, positive-states-of-mind, inner-peace, and love. In a world filled with constant distractions, demands, and stresses, it becomes clear that mindfulness provides needed focus, clarity, and (ultimately) fulfillment and happiness. Mental health services should be laser-focused on helping a client foster a way of life that can lead to greater peace, wisdom, and joy.
Life is full of so many challenges – everyone goes through some sort of difficulty over the course of their time on earth. There are important skills and concepts, which we can consistently apply to our everyday life, for improved personal insight and habits/behaviors. I teach my clients skills and concepts based on empirically proven forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). I have had special training in all these evidence-based modes of therapy.
Scientific studies have confirmed that practicing mindfulness regularly allows you to begin to change the way that you experience life. As a direct result your brain is less stressed, focuses better, is less prone to automatic responses, becomes more resilient to future challenges, and becomes more efficient in regulating emotions. Your body also becomes less tense and improved at fighting disease. These factors help to improve relationships and to become more engaged in work/school. You may very well experience greater levels of happiness and peace in your life by living with mindfulness.
My education has consistently been geared toward my goal of humbly understanding the human experience. My undergraduate (BA) degree in psychology was completed at California State University, Fresno. I gained my master's degree in Counseling Psychology at National University, Fresno Campus. I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist, since 2011. My credentials and granted by the state of California.
I have worked, as a clinician, in addiction/recovery settings, in community-based family mental health programs, in foster-care services, in group-home clinical services, as a child therapist, and as a crisis co-responder/clinician going out with police to address crisis situations. Prior to licensure I held over 20+ years of human-service work experience. In all these capacities, I have been dedicated to creating and maintaining an atmosphere of respect and acceptance.
I am looking forward to working with you.

I've really appreciated having Orin as my therapist. He has offered very practical guidance and tools to manage my anxiety. In the relatively short time I've worked with him, I have made significant improvements in how I tolerate stressful situations and how I respond to my (unhelpful) inner voice. Orin has been very responsive when I needed extra support, which I greatly appreciated. Strongly recommend!

Orin Conant has been working with me for a little over a year. He has provided valuable insights and help to me in working to resolve concerns I have had for many years.
Several of Orin's qualities stand out as having been particularly helpful to me:
Orin displays an ability to listing to my concerns and I have found him especially responsive to my needs. Some of my concerns are greater; sometimes my concerns are lesser. In all cases Orin responds with caring and concern for me.
Orin has provided me with good coping skills and he has provided effective advice and direction.
Orein has provided the means to self-love and self-compassion, and he has worked with me on my journey towards the goal of self-love and self-compassion.

Written on Nov 08, 2022 after therapy with Orin for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and anger management
I’ve been with Orin for almost two years and he really was a special send to help save my life. Before Orin I was lost in bad relationships one after another, he helped me navigate through my past trauma to help find more meaningful relationships. I was riddled with anxiety and had been muted so long I didn’t know how to have healthy communication and boundaries. Life still brings challenges but with his help I am able to navigate and live a more fulfilling life where my needs are a priority. I even applied for my dream job and am loving every day of it! I recommend BetterHelp to everyone I meet and refer Orin to people all the time.
I’m in such gratitude.
