James (Jim) Orwig
(He/Him/His)
Hypnotherapist, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
My goal is to help clients identify which parts of their lives are limiting their goals and relationships and to find solutions that work for them.
I am a farm boy from Nebraska, who spent eight years in Catholic seminaries, five years as a Catholic priest, twenty years as a remodeling contractor, and the last twenty-two years as a counselor. Five of those years were working in an agency with adolescents in Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, including a year as a school counselor providing mental health services. After moving to Pittsburg, Kansas, I worked at Scott Greening Adolescent Addictions Treatment Center in Joplin and obtained my LPC license in Missouri. After obtaining my LPC license in Kansas, I began working with children placed in foster care, and with their parents and foster parents. In May of 2023, I was granted my clinical counseling license by the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board. During the course of my time as a counselor, I have focused my continuing education on understanding the effects of early life experiences and trauma and helping my clients on their journey of healing.
