Behavioral Issues Therapists in Bartlesville, OK

Do you struggle with PTSD, Anxiety or Panic? Have you struggled with mental health due to chronic pain or chronic illness? Have you tried diet changes, getting better sleep or being more active, but still struggle with health issues, diet planning, weight management & feeling tired? I work with pre-teens, teens and adults combining multiple evidence-based practices to provide support in areas such as anxiety, PTSD, OCD, phobias, chronic pain/illness, emotional regulation, sleep disorders, family structure and support, substance abuse, LGBTQ, trauma, lifeskills, coping skills, diet planning and co-dependency.

Listening, encouraging and offering hope are my values as a therapist. My desire is to help individuals and families work through life's problems.

Are you having trouble managing the symptoms of trauma or grief? My goal is to increase a spirit of healing in the hearts and minds of people who have suffered through traumatic events, mental health issues or substance abuse. The therapy techniques I love to use are the latest, most innovative techniques that are exciting and typically deliver faster results than traditional talk therapy. I specialize in trauma therapy and strive to help people who have suffered through traumatic issues as children or as adults. We also offer after hours appointments for people who cannot come to daytime appointments.

Larry’s work includes aid in mental health, addiction and couples counseling.

Above all, my goal as a therapist is to show that I genuinely care about you and what you are going through. Each of us encounter problems, at times in our lives. In order to overcome those problems, it is often helpful to have an outside perspective. I hope to be that outside perspective that you seek.

I have worked with children and families for over twenty-five years and I never cease to be amazed at their resiliency. What I have learned is that children do cope with life struggles, but increasing the likelihood that they develop positive coping skills often depends on the support that surrounds them. Working with children and adults to recognize their own strengths and to learn new strategies for success remains a focus of my practice.

Feeling comfortable and safe with a therapist is an important part of beginning the healing process. It can be difficult to find someone you trust during traumatic or uncertain times in your life. I have successfully treated couples, individuals, children, and families with a variety of presenting problems, and have also been trained in play therapy, sand tray therapy, EMDR, AUTPlay and Brain Gym. I utilize strength-based approaches and offer hope when hope is hard to find.

I have a Master's degree in Social Work from KU, and a Master's degree in School Counseling from Fort Hays State university. I have 12 years experience as a therapist working with all age groups. I am currently offering appointments on evenings and Saturdays.
