He is a great therapist!

Larsen is profoundly empathetic and thoughtful in his responses and suggestions. He also seems to have a great breadth of knowledge of mental health research and treatments he can draw on in his huge arsenal of tools. He far exceeds my prior expectations of any therapist and I hope others will seek him out while his calendar still has openings.

Larsen has been extremely helpful during our time together. He always responds in a timely manner and never leaves me hanging when I have questions or concerns. During our sessions he makes me feel like I’m no longer facing my issues alone and provides me with a variety of ways to cope in a healthy and safe way. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I’ve had 2 sessions with Larsen but I already feel like he knows my communication style and knows things about me that I would have never thought of. He is so responsive and kind and I would recommend Larsen to anyone.
