About Orion Block

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LISW) in the states of Nevada and Rhode Island. I have been working as a therapist for 8 years but have over 15 years of community organizing and educating with an intersectional lens on race, women’s, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

My therapy style is client focused, with the idea that YOU are the expert of your own life experience and I am here to assist you to become independent. I believe in treating all with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and honesty . I am a therapist that will utilize your strengths, beliefs and abilities to help guide the focus of therapy to reinforce self healing.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and issues that include PTSD/trauma, anxiety, borderline, disability, depression, abandonment, suicidality, self harm, hoarding and family issues. My specialty is gender and sexuality which encompasses transgender and gender non-conforming folx and those having challenges in their sexual identity or relationship issues that include asexuality, kink, poly etc.

I understand that you are seeking therapy for your individual reasons and am looking forward to working with you.
