Hi, I'm Sarah Orlando, the founder of Pelorus Point (peloruspoint.com). I'm a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience in Florida, dedicated to helping individuals navigate their journeys towards a more fulfilling life. My master's degree in counseling psychology laid the foundation for my career, and I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Gender and Sexual Fluidity to expand my understanding and expertise. My approach to coaching is eclectic, drawing on a variety of therapeutic techniques to create personalized strategies for each client.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults across a variety of settings. My goal, with each client, is to provide an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere where you can expect quality care tailored to individual needs. Interventions are practical, wellness-focused, and evidence-based. I have over 10 years of experience providing therapy and assessments in womens health, chronic illness and pain, adjustment to medical illness, pre-surgical evaluations and helping individuals meet their general mental and health behavior goals.

I have been providing therapy for many years. I have helped numerous individuals to manage their mental health in a way where they can feel comfortable and empowered to go after what they want in life. A client that has a desire to process through their issues is the only main requirement for therapy. This creates the proper environment where an individual can grow and achieve what they want in their life.

Taking the first step to getting help is often the hardest and can be very scary.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families who are experiencing mental health and substance use struggles in a variety of different settings. I offer outpatient, individualized, care using the treatment modalities to best fit you.

Increased life satisfaction and healthier relationships are the most common goals for the people that reach out for counseling with me.

I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist and I frequently use EMDR therapy with my clients.

Congratulations on taking that first step towards building the life you want! Whether it is depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction or any number of the countless things that keep us from living our best lives, searching for someone to help partner with you on that journey towards healing is an important first step. I know it can be overwhelming to find a provider; there are so many choices, and if you have never been in counseling before, you don't know what to expect, what to ask, or even what to look for to help you find that person that can help you become "you" again. Relax...you're here...and that's an awesome start!

I assist individuals and couples in overcoming life's challenges. Whether you're struggling with significant changes or are generally unhappy with your current direction, my client-centered approach prioritizes your needs and empowers you to reach your goals.

The clients I work with have often experienced profound changes in their mood or behavior, suddenly or gradually. They don't feel like themselves. Their anxiety may not go away. They're stuck or simply not happy in their current life choices. I help clients identify unhealthy patterns and triggers to distress. In our time together, clients develop skills to interrupt unhelpful or unwanted patterns in thought, mood and behavior. My clients are often looking to improve relationships, work toward goals and reduce stress. They want to gain healthy coping skills and learn positive reframing to improve functioning and stability.

I believe each individual has their own story to embrace, and that by having the right therapeutic support and understanding, an empowered and fulfilled lifestyle can be achieved. I view change and personal growth as an ever-evolving process, and believe that when we begin to understand ourselves and our emotional experiences, true wellness and meaningful change can emerge. I greatly value connecting with each of my clients, and strive to elicit strength, compassion, and healing in our work together.

I enjoy working with clients that want to take an active role in their healing or self-betterment journey. These clients desire a better understanding of themselves and are willing to trust the process of counseling. They engage in consistency and follow through.

Are you a parent facing challenges or life changes which are causing increased or overwhelming anxiety, sadness, or depression? First child through birth or adoption, single parenting, divorce/coparenting, widowhood, remarriage/step parenting, or other life transitions? Are you a highly gifted/intelligent adult who who may be on the autism spectrum? Originally a singer/musician, some unexpected life experiences inspired me to return to graduate school in order to enter a helping profession. I utilize both my personal and professional experience and training to help others.

I have always had a soft spot for the underdog. I believe that the human spirit, when inspired, has the ability to overcome any obstacle with the right tools in place. I also believe that everyone strives for authenticity, and has the right (and inherent desire) to live in such a way that honors one’s full potential, even if it goes against popular opinion. I will work with you to draw out what truly matters to you, to provide the appropriate tools, and to help build momentum by building confidence in taking the next step forward to wherever it is you need to go in this journey we call life.

I am experienced in working with individuals ages 18 and up and couples.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, lost or broken? Are worries constantly running through your head & you just can’t “turn it off”? Life is full of difficult transitions.
