Hi! I’m Jenny Orr, M.S., M.A., a Resident in Counseling here at The Calmed. I believe in the importance of building a meaningful connection with clients, and I prioritize empathy and support in those client-therapist relationships. I am passionate about helping people navigate perinatal concerns such as infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, birth trauma, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I also have experience with grief and loss, anxiety, and depression, and I am committed to providing affirming care to the LGBTQIA+ population.

I draw on my lived experience as well as my education and trainings in my work with clients. I worked in academia for over a decade before following my passion and obtaining my Master of Science degree in Counselor Education (with a focus on Clinical Mental Health Counseling) at Radford University in 2024. I grew up in Germany and immigrated to the US in my twenties; I enjoy working with people from all countries and value their unique culture and customs.

I use a variety of interventions and evidence-based practices, depending on my clients’ needs. I approach clinical work mainly from a person-centered and feminist background, and draw on somatic methods, Gestalt therapy, logotherapy, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative practices, and motivational interviewing in my practice.

I have completed advanced trainings with Postpartum Support International and will obtain my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) this fall. I have also been admitted into the RETAIN Parental Leave Coaching Certification Program for Fall ’24, which will enable me to guide parents (to-be) through the parental leave process. 

Jenny is currently accepting new perinatal clients.

Ellie first joined us as an intern for her final semester at VT where she recently graduated with dual degrees in Psychology & Human Development. She is currently enrolled in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Boston College with plans of becoming an LPC. We're very fortunate to have Ellie sticking with us to provide virtual support to our counselors & clients.

Her role is continually developing (because she's great at everything we've given her!).. you'll currently find Ellie managing our website, all sorts of behind the scenes details, and, perhaps most importantly, she is helping us increase follow-up time with new client inquiries. We know seeking counseling can be a vulnerable moment & it's hard to wait to hear back after you've reached out. Ellie is working closely with our clinical team to identify good options for interested clients (both within our practice & in the broader community) to ensure our responses are timely & helpful.
