ORCA’s mission is to empower each other— and our clients—to do the best, most healing work. We do that through networking and CE events, by advocating for social justice, and by lobbying for the profession—so you can have more protection and opportunity. The organization is volunteer-run and membership driven, which means that our work depends on counselors and therapists coming together as members.
