Larry O'Connor, Marriage and Family Therapist

I am openly committed to the work I do, and the individuals and couples I work with. My style is informal, yet active and engaged, not a blank-face, nodding. I work collaboratively, and understand by listening, and asking questions, to clarify and make sure I’m getting you and your concerns. I try to form a familiar, yet professional relationship, and where it’s relevant and appropriate, share examples from my experience. I don’t relate to the notion, therapists are paid to listen to people’s problems. I know we all experience difficulties, see ourselves, or relate to others, in negative, though inaccurate, ways unique to each of us. Yet these influence and effect our otherwise actual, inherent abilities. While I know these concerns and their effects are real to you, I’m not experiencing them with the same bias, but constructively to help you recognize your capabilities, and realize what you want. People I’ve work with have often expressed I get their nuances, and that they’re treated as equals working with me.
