Arizona mental health counselor David Orlowski surrenders license
May 17, 2012
On April 2, 2012, the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners revoked the license of licensed professional counselor David W. Orlowski.
According to the Board’s report, Orlowski, in his capacity as a pastor, provided occasional pastoral counseling to a father and mother of a minor child between 1998 and 2002.
The father was convicted of a felony in 2000 or 2001and was placed on probation, which he later violated. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to forgery and credit card theft and was incarcerated for three years, during which he filed a petition to establish paternity, custody and visitation with the daughter. In 2009, he asked Orlowski to write a letter in support of his petition.
Orlowski included in the letter his “LPC” designation though he had not counseled either individual in his capacity as a licensed professional counselor but as a pastoral counselor.
In his letter he opined that the Father posed no risk to the Daughter despite the fact that the letter was based primarily on information about Mother and Daughter provide to him by Father. Orlowski had not seen nor spoken to Mother since 2002 and had never seen nor spoken with the Daughter nor had he gathered any collateral information about the daughter pertaining to her best interests.
Orlowski surrendered his license on the charges, which was deemed a revocation.

There is a child involved in this case and the father was incarcerated with serious past issues from 9 felony charges plus...mental diagnosis, documented abuse to the mother and detailed threats to the unborn baby and mother. Mr. Orlowski felt the father is of no danger were his words and he described, physically emotionally and more. He was willing to testify and offer his "expert" testimony in this case. Why would a family court Judge believe this "Senior Pastor" and "Licensed Professional Counselor" plus designations and a PHD be willing to lie unless he'd done his job.? Correct? So needless to say this put the child in the grave danger the father and his counsel claimed she was in with the mother. The mother who singlehandedly with no child support for over a decade, raised this happy honor roll student who was a purple belt in Taekwondo and a mother who has not so much as a traffic ticket, owns a business of 21 years with no negative action in that time and a home owner for 17 years. What's the judge to think? The child was then forced to meet and LOVE HER DAD through a court appointed psychologist. This father exacted the revenge he threatened since the child was a baby in this reunification persons office. This psychologist appeared to be practicing "deprogramming" with the child and the child went from happy innocent and believing in law to fearful of law, extremely unhappy and wanting to be dead, crying all the time. Of course they blame this on the mother in court. Mr. Orlowski had a major hand in how this first portion of the case went due to the courts wanting DNA to count above all else and Mr. Orlowski seemed to have not much concern for the child as he never even asked since 2002 when he informed the mother at his supposed pastoral counsel session she had no money so he couldn't see her in the future??....Praise Jesus? So the mother never received so much as a call.
Perjury, isn't that a crime as there were several perjured affidavits filed by the father from his prison cell which can be proven with a simple google search and the way family courts work, evidence is irrelevent and lies are plentiful and accepted only mothers appear to be held accountable for this. They have done considerable harm to this child. Their actions are criminal. Mother and child still wondering about their rights..........
Hats off to the AZBBHE for stepping up and revoking David W.Orolwskis license. More importantly I want to express my admiration for the mom in the above case;her perseverance has saved many other good parents and innocent children from having to experience the pain her and her daughter were forced to endure. David W. Orlowski can no longer use his name (past title)to emotionally, mentally and financially destroy the innocent.
For others who may read this and have not experienced the grave injustice I want you to know what a great accomplishment has taken place with the State of AZ revoking Orlowski license. As stated I am a 12 plus year victim and I have not been able to receive any sort of justice in my Michigan case.

(Comments from Dale Trowbridge case, above). Dale, I notice your case involved a lot of child support issues, also that this was starting as far back as 1991. A LOT has happened in the interim -- namely fatherhood policies were entrenched in the HHS system and further enabled by 1996 Welfare Reform // Block Grants to States which re-tooled certain systems (esp. the OCSE Child Support system) to promote marriage, fatherhood, (abstinence), and other apple-pie values that supposedly would eradicate poverty, or at least put a leash on competent, independent, and educated and/or business-wise successful MOTHERS. In other words, during that timespan, the backlash against feminism made many strides forward. . . .<br /> ~
I blog at http://familycourtmatters.wordpress.com and another one, http://thefamilycourtmoneymachine.blogspot.com (which has a section on the "Broken Family Courts" conference put on by Nicholas Cummings and friends. . . .<br /> ~ Dale's comments nail the issue of Judicial Immunity (a big one and relevant for sure) and I tend to go more after the financial conflicts of interest (broader focus, but able to zero in on specific nonprofits in specific court systems which are set up to promote their own business interests, at taxpayer expense). . . . . I also talk alot about the AFCC (a chapter in AZ) and etc. . . . . <br /> I also know from experience what religion-based abuse is (I'm a Christian, but this whole experience -- we're talking years -- has pretty well soured me on supporting anything that takes place under a roof and collects money for a mortgage, or even renting space in an office building. . . . . The Orlowski situation has clear, clear, clear indications of some fatherhood funding -- to go and get a man in prison who hasn't shown interest in his kids to harass the mother, and do this under the guise of clergy, is about as low as it goes. . . . . And that's how low the federal HHS administration (esp. OCSE) has stooped, in who it gives grants too. They solicit faith-based grantees. I look lots of them up (see blogs). . . . A LOT of money is "MIA" and so are a lot of grantees. Want a quick example? Look up "faith-based solutions, llc" in Nevada. This company's person actually did jail time for felony/grand theft (whatever) in the 1990s, swift-talked a 10year sentence into six years, and in the next decade was doing it again. He's been sued I think in (or at least FROM) three states AND Haiti -- he targeted churches -- a completely immoral scam artist. <br />. . . BUT -- the HHS gave him (his company) $1,000,000 (that's "million") in "compassion capital funding," i.e. to jumpstart or expand his business. Typical startup funding is closer to $50K, which is why I researched that one. . . ..
Re: Orlowski, above -- he has some book he's distributing now through a Christian publisher, and it cites his credentials as from a certain university -- I'm interested, because I currently am being scammed by a professional whose website and references included the same university. This person calls herself "Dr." and Associate Professor -- and while the reference to that univ. was removed form a new cite, she still ran off with my retainer, which has put my housing at risk, after providing no (that's ZERO) services. When confronted on this, after dodging and stalling, and a few sob stories (relating actually to her own lack of a reasonable business plan) she finally produced a RETROACTIVE (and fraudulent) invoice -- only after I began to speak to others about the situation. . .<br /> I realize this is a very poor post here, but I hope it to encourage people to follow through with background checks. ALSO, psychcrime.org says it here right -- prosecutions are rare and the field seems to attract the unethical. I believe psychologists should be thrown out of custody evaluations and the entire field. Generally speaking, what they are psychologizing (it was in your head), spiritualizing, or rationalizing is one or more forms of criminal behavior, often against children or reasonable / ethical mothers. <br />For Dale, also know that the intersection of the child support system is key. Depending on how first order was obtained, there's money in it for the states (from the feds) according to some complex calculations -- which do affect your custody cases. Feds pay $2 for every $1 of state enforcement of child support efforts. Excuses are made not to distribute, arrearages are compromised without the mother's participation (this happened to me, almost put me homeless after years of supporting my kids in a one-parent household AND trying to stay safe, retain a restraining order, and defend against various custody allegations. . . . ALL the years of the abuse and ALL the years of the harassment, custody attacks, and other nightmares (the father eventually got control of the children -- illegally; with help from a religious woman he picked up -- and she threw him out (i.e., he abandoned his daughters) and because I'd been cut completely out of their lives and had to take measures not to become homeless after all this (i.e., I had to let go of efforts to regain contact, or a relationship with my own daughters) -- I was not informed of the abandonment in enough time to do much about it. This is simply highway robbery of the kids -- and it's US federal social-science poverty. Obama's own mother aside, it's not fashionable to fail to have a man in on a kids' life: DNA counts because it moves $Dollars. . . . Character and truth, by and large, does not seem to count.<br />
If you google the street address showing below as CCHR International (6616 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles) it also shows photos of "PSYCHIATRY An Industry of Death MUSEUM" [Wikipedia reviews the 2005 opening--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry:_An_Industry_of_Death]].
More about Psychiatry Harming Artists: http://www.cchr.org/cchr-reports/harming-artists/introduction.html -- I'm going to have to agree with this one. What's normal to a creative mind (which artists and, FYI, genuine scientists (those are related!) -- tend to have) is "abnormal" to people this way of thinking causes discomfort in. Also very discomforting to the status quo is that certain people are not easily trained to accept authority, society as it is, or ABUSE. They have something going on in the inside, spiritually, that sustains them -- and it's this type of person that seems to come under attack. A lot. . . .(that link had a list of personnel related to CCHR).

This is about drugging schoolchildren -- and you know the reality of this.
I just came from reporting on a major domestic violence by police officer case (different state) and noted that they kept referring the man to psychiatric hospital (first stop), psychologists, counseling, etc. I am thinking this man (who eventually committed suicide, after trying to --and almost succeeding-- in killing his wife) probably was on (or off) meds. In fact, he went straight from a psychiatrist's office, with a restraining order on (finally after years of the routine, she'd gotten some, which he was immediately violating anyhow) -- and blew a hole in her chest. They had three kids together.... The mother/wife did everything humanly possible and to the best we can tell, nothing illegal, to protect . . . after all that, she tried to sue for damages -- only to run up against judicial immunity, etc. . . . . So you tell me: The law won't restrain abuse -- or doesn't have to -- but everyone should go see a psychiatrist or a psychologist, and mental health screening should be mainstreamed?
I'm no Scientologist!!! but I'm with them on this one. Psychiatry is indeed an industry of Death, AND it has close connections with wartime experimentation on prisoners and the desire to control people by medication because it's simply easier than by law -- and because it's definitely a lot more profitable. We do not need this "Brave New World," no matter who is selling it through the courts or anywhere else.
From that CCHR link:
"In his 1932 novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicts a %u201Cutopian%u201D but totalitarian society, one that is insane and bent on control. It is a controlled civilization, using, as Huxley stated, the %u201Ctechnique of suggestion%u2014through infant conditioning and, later, with the aid of drugs.%u201D Also see: "Is Psychology a Science?" for a good discussion. p://www.arachnoid.com/psychology/index.html
How do we stop people like this from creating more victims?
