Struggling with fatherhood? Feeling disconnected from your wife? Burned out by work? Holding it all in is getting harder. As men, we are taught to lead, stay strong, and push emotions down. But the stress, doubt, and pressure wear you down. Trusting others, even in therapy, can feel risky or even weak. I get it. You deserve a space to be real. No fluff. No BS. My goal is to help you take care of yourself so you can show up as the man, father, or husband you're proud to be. Stop waiting for change. Start building the life you want. Let's talk.

No Day But Today! My mantra for living a genuine, purposeful & passionate life & one in which guides my clinical practice with clients. No doubt life can be hard. It can strip away our self-worth, feelings of hope & our ability to find happiness in life. At times, we can resolve issues on our own however at other times the help from a compassionate & professionally trained therapist can make a significant difference. So long as you have "hope" & are willing to do some "work" & trust the "process" I feel confident in my ability to help you begin to feel better.

Life is difficult. If you know The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, you might recognize this as the book s first sentence. Peck was right: life is complicated, confusing, and ever-changing and it s hard. Often, what causes us anxiety comes from out of nowhere. We re thrown a curveball. We face a problem we didn t know existed, or one we thought only other people battled. Larry Dagenhart is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy LMFT and came to the counseling field from a 20-year career in communications and public relations, serving in higher education, and in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and perfectionism. I recognize the challenging cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, obsessive doubt, avoidance, and compulsions, and can help provide some guidance around becoming “unstuck” from difficult patterns that are no longer serving you. If you struggle with using substances or other behavioral addictions to cope, and are wanting to set some goals surrounding your use, I am dually licensed to treat co-occuring substance use as well.
