Getting to know Riva Sorah Leah Orr
Riva Sorah Leah Orr is a licensed psychotherapist with extensive experience across a wide range of clinical and community settings. Before becoming licensed, she spent nearly ten years as a postgraduate associate, and prior to entering the mental health field, she worked for 15 years as an assistant and lead teacher supporting children and individuals with developmental differences. Her experience also includes meaningful work with Latino/a families, Asian families, and religious communities.
Riva has provided care to clients experiencing homelessness, individuals who are recently housed, dual-diagnosis clients, people navigating addiction, and those involved in the federal parole system. This breadth of experience informs her holistic understanding of both individual and family-of-origin challenges.
Her therapeutic approach integrates scholarly training with practical, intuitive insight. Riva uses intuition as an intentional clinical tool and encourages clients to become more attuned to their own inner processes. She is committed to meeting clients exactly where they are—with openness, compassion, and without judgment—while working collaboratively to explore underlying patterns and promote meaningful healing.
Rooted in values of spiritual wellness, vitality, and integrity, Riva creates a warm, grounded, and supportive space where clients can reconnect with themselves and move toward personal transformation.
Riva is a member of the Non-Ordinary Therapy Co., a groundbreaking virtual practice that offers a diverse range of non-traditional therapeutic modalities. We aim to revolutionize the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma through innovative therapeutic approaches like EMDR, DBT, psychoanalysis, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatics, mindfulness, hypnosis, meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, and holistic therapies that help uncover unconscious processes blocking you. We go beyond traditional talk therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you’ll enter a compassionate, grounded, and curiosity-driven space designed to support your growth at your own pace. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending cognitive insight (“detective work”), somatic awareness, dream exploration, and parts work to help you understand both your conscious and subconscious experiences.
I honor the full spectrum of your identity—including your spiritual orientation, whatever it may be. Spirituality can be as central or as subtle as you choose; the work is always tailored to what feels authentic for you.
Together, we’ll pay close attention to your body’s cues and your unique sensitivities, inviting your inner wisdom to guide the therapeutic process. You lead the journey, and I provide the structure, skills, and support to help you feel safe, understood, and empowered.
Whether you’re exploring family-of-origin patterns, navigating life transitions, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I’m here to walk alongside you with presence, intuition, and an open mind.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and develop a foundation of trust. I’ll invite you to share what brings you in, what you’re hoping to understand or shift, and what feels most important for me to know about your story. This initial conversation helps us begin shaping a path forward—one that feels aligned with your needs, your pace, and your values.
As our work continues, the process becomes deeply collaborative and intuitive. I draw from an integrative, trauma-informed framework that may include cognitive exploration, somatic awareness, dream work, and parts work. Together, we’ll pay attention to your internal landscape—your thoughts, sensations, emotions, and patterns—and use them as guideposts for healing and self-understanding.
Your spiritual orientation, cultural background, and lived experiences are honored throughout our work. Whether spirituality is central to your life or not, the space will always support authenticity, curiosity, and inner wisdom.
At every step, you remain the leader in your journey. I provide structure, insight, and compassionate guidance while we uncover root causes, untangle longstanding patterns, and strengthen your capacity to navigate life with clarity and integrity.
My goal is to help you feel seen, grounded, and empowered as you move toward deeper self-awareness and meaningful change.

They booked and cancelled the appointment several times and then it still went though. The provider was not very clear in their communication.

What I appreciate most about working with her is her focus on actionable strategies. I didn’t just talk about my problems; I walked away with actual tools to manage my stress and communication. If you want a therapist who is both empathetic and solution-oriented, look no further, she is the best.
