Larry Penner, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Larry!

I have experience with a wide variety of people with different issues. Some of these issues include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and severe mental illness. I enjoy talking with people and helping them meet their goals in life.

My focus

I tend to clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, or a combination of both.

My approach

I tend to look at how behaviors are reinforced and ways to increase the most effective ways of coping with problems.

My communication style

I tend to be soft-spoken, and I let the client guide the session. I am probably less directive than the average therapist. I allow the client to do most of the talking. I use humor in my sessions at times. Humor is a great coping skill.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy making connections with people and seeing them grow. I have had my own mental health struggles, so I can relate to what it feels like when things aren't going well.

My goals for you

I support a collaborative approach where we develop goals for treatment together so that we will be successful.

Our first session

The first session is a time to get to know each other and talk about what you want from therapy.
