Do you have difficulties 'needing to be perfect" or not feeling "good enough" . You are not alone. I am a licensed professional with over 20 years experience providing therapy services to couples and individuals with a variety of problems. I believe most people go through a period of their life that is too difficult to handle alone or a problem that has gone on too long and that is a time professional help can provide the impetus to get through the problem or issue. I have a passion for working with people who feel they are not "good enough" or have perfectionism issues. I have also worked with people with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, problems with self confidence or self esteem, problems related to alcohol or drug issues and relationship problems. I use a variety of methods from CBT and DBT to Solution Focused therapy to a more Psychodynamic approach. I match my approach with each individual to work together to get the best results. I approach therapy as a curious listener who works with clients to remove barriers keeping them from being the person they want to be.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dolores "Del" Larkin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve been working with Del for a few months now and she has been amazingly helpful in helping me work through a tough time at work. She asks me questions and gives me assignments which help me delve deeper into myself, and is incredibly supportive every step of the way. She’s very adept in helping people with maladaptive perfectionism and through navigating the demands of strenuous corporate life. Del has truly been instrumental to my growth as a person and I can’t recommend her enough.

Wonderful really likes pushing me to be better about taking about the harder topics, but always respects me when I ask to change the subject.

Del is fantastic and has in just two sessions helped me gain some insight on why I’m feeling the way I am, and gave me different tools (all of which feel very attainable) to help me manage some of what I’m dealing with. Thank you Del!
