I work with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, trauma, and LGBTQIA issues. Using evidence-based approaches, I help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

I was extremely satisfied with Dr. Larkins's professionalism and approach. He helped me a lot, and I would highly recommend anyone who truly desires to change to schedule sessions with him. He listens attentively, analyzes, and understands the psychological situation and thought processes very well. He is skilled at providing insight and new ways of thinking about and viewing situations which I have applied after each session.
