Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Sudbury, MA

At Child Therapy Boston, we have a passion for working with children, teens, siblings, families and groups. We are confident that we can help individuals and families struggling with diagnoses including ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Depression, Developmental Disabilities, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and Attachment. We enjoy working with clients who are struggling with self-esteem, family relationships, grief and loss, bullying, life transitions, and stress management. We also offer specialized counseling for LGBTQIA+ youth.

Given that I am still early into my career in the mental health counseling field, I am really open and eager to work with a wide array of clients. In my previous experiences, I have worked with individuals with a variety of needs and diagnoses and I am hoping to continue that through my work at Northeast Health Services! Ideally, I would want to work with someone who is hoping to strive for growth and success in their lives.

My ideal client is a young adult who is working on getting their life together. They are having a difficult time controlling their emotions and suffers with anxiety. Their goals are to get and keep a job, work on a career, and be more responsible. They are realizing that it is time to get it together. They are interested in learning coping skills and working on past traumatic events that they believe to be in the way of learning new ways. I will work with my clients to unfold what is brought into the room and set the pace that feels most supportive to them—together, creating a safe and supportive space as we address needs and goals.

Larry specializes in counseling children of all ages, teens, young adults, adults, and families. Larry effectively helps even the very young child and clients of all ages with their emotional and/or behavioral challenges. His passion, expertise, and genuine interest is so needed, when many of our youth are longing for someone they can talk to, connect with, and feel their voice is understood. Working with the entire family providing family counseling takes a very special ability, as does helping parents navigate challenges, this is Larry's expertise.

Therapy is a gift you can offer yourself. I meet people where they are on their journey, offering compassion and guidance, in the hopes that clients begin to cultivate self compassion.

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.

It takes courage and self awareness to seek support for your stress, and I'm continually honored by the individuals I serve in my practice for their willingness to open up to me. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment that can enhance the process of therapeutic change. All people find themselves "stuck" at times, and through empathy and validation I work to create a path towards hope and healing for my clients.
