I am a Mental Health Counselor and Art Therapist. I integrate talk therapy with creative expression to facilitate clients' self-expression and relaxation. My approach is person-centered, supportive, and strengths-based, which I believe assists clients to find the gift of healing within themselves. I have experience with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, anxiety, depression and grief and have also worked with families to increase healthy communication. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client, based on a non-judgmental and compassionate partnership in the healing process.

We can often feel controlled by our emotions, struggling to think clearly, and simply reacting, rather than directing our own life path. It can feel like a tornado of thoughts quickly swirling, leaving us feeling tense and discouraged that life could look any different. We usually just want everything to slow down and feel more at peace. The goal is to provide you with the tools for this to happen so you can move forward with confidence to live a more positive and balanced life.

You're a giver - but don't know how to receive. And you're very self-sufficient and independent because you can't trust or rely on anyone. On the surface you seem like you're doing well - you have a job, a relationship, you go on trips and so on. But underneath it all, you struggle with an inner critic that belittle you constantly. You struggle with the pressure to be "perfect" and "good" and never feel like you're good enough. Your relationships actually don't feel very fulfilling because you don't feel like you're being your true self in it. At the end of the day, you feel lonely and you chalk it up to "well this is how life is."

Stress, anxiety, and depression can consume us in unimaginable ways. Throw in the complexities of navigating important relationships and woah can life seem overwhelming. As humans, we are all equipped with unique strengths to help us get through the various stressors life presents. I would like to help you learn to develop your individual strengths so you can become the most ideal version of yourself. My goal in working with you is to ensure a compassionate and non-bias therapeutic setting where you feel safe and comfortable being your authentic self. Seeking out help is not always an easy thing to do, I am glad you are here.

My name is Pam Larr EdS, LMHC, BCBA. I have been working with adults and children for over 20 years. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I strive to aid clients in achieving their goals in a safe and welcoming therapeutic space. I specialize in treating both adults and children with autism, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, behavioral challenges, adjustment issues as well as other transitional issues. I conduct parenting training and support parents to learn alternative ways to interact with their child.

THERAPY: I hear so much negativity in our field about work with people. But - I am amazed by some of the people that step foot into my office. I am in awe of their ability to smile through pain. I feel blessed that I get to share in their strong, resilience and desire to grow and change. I learn so much from them. I’m also frustrated with societies message that emotions like anger, resentfulness and jealousy are abnormal for us to feel. Sometimes they interfere with other parts of our life. These people that I encounter on a day-to-day basis are amazing, beautiful people. To all of them I say-

Life is a journey. However, our journeys often include interruptions as a result of experiences such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, issues resulting from trauma, loss, divorce, relationship issues, parenting issues, and issues with aging, to name a few. These experiences can negatively impact our thoughts, feelings, and behavior and our overall quality of life. It is important to know that your life does not have to remain negatively impacted by what has happened to you.

Times of struggle and pain can also be times of positive growth. When we learn that we have choices in how we respond to the situations in our lives, we can become empowered to choose to respond to stressors in a way that enables us to move forward in an intentional and positive direction. It is my goal to help you discover the choices and strengths you have to cope with the challenges you face and to also discover the gifts that are so often hidden in adversities in order that you might actively choose the future you want.

Welcome, I am currently accepting new clients. Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be and you don't have to go through it alone. As a therapist, I believe in meeting clients where they're at. During our time together I will work to create a safe and calm environment for you to feel comfortable and confident to explore the areas in your life that are no longer working for you and assist you in learning healthy ways to facilitate the change you are seeking.

Trained in family systems, I have experience working with infidelity, breakdowns in communication, and the merging of step-families.

I left my career in the finance industry to pursue my passion for healing and health in 2013. I have a warm and caring personality and am experienced working with individuals, couples, families and children. I use a variety of treatment modalities, but my approach is very client-centered. I often utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to counseling, helping clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and learning which they can control.
