Orval R. Henderson b.s.a., m.c.e., m.a.a.b.s.

I welcome you to my web site, this possibly being the first time we are to meet, or as follow up to work we have done together face-to-face, or as part of earlier telephone discussions.

I have primarily provided psychotherapy as my professional focus since certification in the mid 1980's, the decade previously into the mid 1970's as an organizational assessment and leadership consultant.

Depending upon your interest, I provide more specific detail on these two primary service areas. Please visit either section to discover how I might assist you regarding your service questions and interests! A third section is my short biography, with the option to access my lifetime Vitae since undergraduate completion in 1968.

Before going further, I want to tell you a little about my overriding approach as a professional resource person in private practice:

Firstly, I have come to see the human journey as naturally having periods of clarity and stability, and also period of chaos and challenge. Although we also most naturally appreciate the periods of stability in our lives, this is not usually where the greatest growth, or creative instincts and motivations are kindled! And, it is often in these more turbulent stages of life, whether in individual, marital, family, cultural, ethnic group, or business, that my resources are called upon for assistance.

You should therefore know that I am "Transformational" in my approach, by which I mean I am not panicked by chaos, rather appreciate that it is precisely in these periods of difficulty, and challenge, where the greatest potential results can be achieved in the human journey!

Secondly, I do not believe I am more intelligent, nor more competent that you are. I clearly understand you are the one in the drivers seat of your life, whether the focus of your interests are about yourself as an individual, as a marital partner, a leader in your community, or in your business.

I understand it is my professional role, when invited to join you, to support your coming to appreciate the fullest potential for positive growth and change that the present predicament holds, transitioning between what you knew yesterday, and tomorrow's "New Creation" (and with all the continuing daily demands that do not conveniently postpone), leaders sometimes become discouraged, or momentarily forget their bearings, even surrendering to fate, or short term gain. My job focus is to encourage leadership to "buckle up" and stay the course for change, even embrace the "troubles" as life's invitation to deeper, more creative, sustaining invention and action!
