Oren holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Denver and a Masters degree
in counseling from DePaul University. After graduating from the University of Denver, Oren spent
a number of years working at a local residential treatment center working with severe mental illness.
There, in his role as both counselor and supervisor, Oren worked in partnership with psychiatrists
and the center’s staff in developing programs and administering the safest and most effective treatment
for its clients. Upon returning to Chicago, Oren enrolled at DePaul University while also working as
a crisis trainer and counselor at a local inpatient hospital. It was during this time that he started to
focus his interests on trauma work and its correlation with many types of addictions.

Oren is currently working towards his CSAT (certified sex addiction therapist) so that he can work
with clients struggling with these issues. Oren is keenly aware of how dangerous addiction is and how
it can impact not only the addict’s life but the entire family as well. Oren has experience working with
many process addictions — sexual compulsivity, eating disorders, financial disorders and compulsive
gambling. He also has experience treating chemical dependency.

Other areas of interest and experience include working with children and adolescents. Oren works
with younger clients that are struggling with depression, anxiety, alcohol/drug use, failing grades, poor
self-esteem and sexual promiscuity. If these issues are left unexamined they can lead to self-destructive
behaviors that may develop into lifelong damaging patterns. During these transitional years, it is important
that the mind, body and spirit become integrated and connected. Oren’s goal is to make this integration
possible and successful by acting as a young person’s advocate and coach. Oren believes that the
cornerstone to an emotionally healthy adult is someone that is not a stranger to his/her emotions.
