Dr. L'Orchid Thomas

My name is L'Orchid Thomas and I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) received in 1995. I also have an earned Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Theology, 2009 from Life Christian University. With more than 35 years of working with oppressed populations, I have learned the importance of active listening and the individuality of mankind.

Orchids Rising, LLC is a social services agency that provides supportive services for people identified with behavior health concerns, primarily through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We focus on identifying the negative thought patterns and behaviors that fuel low mood, replacing them with balanced perspectives and active coping strategies.

The power of recovery is always self-centered. Thus, cognitive restructuring is the focus of therapy. Life Coaching then is merely the tool to reach that goal.
