My name is Orlando Lizardi. I am a therapist and I joined Wings of the Future in 2024. I have a B.A in Theology, a Masters of Social Work and my LMSW license. My therapeutic areas of specialty are anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, and religious abuse.
Throughout my life, I was positioned to empathically listen to the stories of others and helped them to feel safe. When I worked as a pastor, I sought to bring spiritual healing to people. Now, as a therapist, I seek to bring emotional healing to my clients. Seeing my clients experience emotional healing and achieving their goals motivates me in my work as a therapist.
I use a variety of modalities to help my clients to heal and achieve their goals. These modalities include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
What sets my approach to therapy apart from others is that my perspective of therapy is holistic. The interventions that I recommend take into consideration the mind, body, and spirit because we are holistic beings. A person’s environment and context influences the issues they face and how they perceive those issues. I have worked to be culturally competent in order to better understand the issues my clients face.
Thinking about starting therapy can be intimidating. As your therapist, I will create a safe and warm environment to facilitate your healing journey and to assist you in reaching your goals. If you’re ready to heal and achieve your goals, let’s connect.
