TESTIMONIALS
The insight, acumen and passion were evident in our experience together. Each session was better than the last and the guidance she provided was rooted in biblical principals, love and real life examples. We were able to get an unbiased point of view and a tool kit of skills to address common stress points that arise in any relationship as newlyweds or 50 year partners. Our time together has given us confidence heading into our life journey together and knowing that we have access to such a phenomenal resource is a blessing we are truly thankful to God for!

I have been friends with Heydie for over ten years now and boy has she changed mine and my families lives for the better! Hard working, empathetic, sensitive to the move and heart of God, supportive, and most of all SAFE! There are not enough great things I could say about Heydie Orr and Safe Counsel! Heydie is one of the most compassionate sensitive loving humans I've ever met! Her love for God and people along with her brilliant mind and extensive education make her the perfect counselor!
Rachel Hockett
My wife and I did pre-marital counseling in 2013-2014 and it was one of best things we could have done! Heydie at Safe Counsel provided a safe place for my wife and I to express how we felt about things. Heydie's expertise and practical wisdom combined with her inviting down-to-earth personality gave my wife and I the confidence and comfort to share our hearts with Heydie. That confidence and comfort to share the things in our hearts is how we were able to get understanding. ...Understanding of what a great marriage is, what a great marriage should be, and what a great marriage shouldn't be. Safe Counsel taught us how to listen with the intent of understanding as opposed to listening with the intent of responding. That by far has been the greatest tool that Safe Counsel provided. The ability to listen to my partner and receive the clarity I needed for the advancement of our family has been life changing. My wife and I are forever grateful to Safe Counsel for preparing us for the life journey of marriage.

If you are in search of a counselor I’d highly recommend that you consider Heydie Orr at Safe Counsel. I have known Heydie for close to 15 years, and have been married to her for the past 11 years. There are a few things that make her such a dynamic counselor. Heydie’s an excellent listener, she embodies empathy, has wisdom beyond her years, has a sincere love and care for people, and is well equipped through her education and professional training. But the most apparent and significant factor is that Heydie Orr has a God-given gift to counsel. Counseling is not just a career for Heydie. It’s her calling.
