Guarionex E. Del Orbe,  (Del)                  BA Psych

Mr. Del Orbe began his counseling career in 1994, while still an undergraduate at the University of North Florida.  His work involved
providing treatment to adolescents and adults involved in the Duval County Drug Court Program.  In 1996, he began work at Father Martin’s Ashley, an exclusive inpatient substance abuse treatment center catering to
high-profile clientele.  Working with this population provided a unique perspective on the wide reaching effects of substance abuse: anyone is vulnerable.

Over the years, Mr. Del Orbe has worked with diverse populations from at-risk youth to female inmates.  Mr. Del Orbe’s first love remains helping individuals and families deal with the detrimental effects of substance abuse.  His treatment approach is based on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
