About me

Hello,
My name is Larry. I am a LMFT in Texas. I have been in the Christian ministry for 25+ years and a military chaplain so I have dealt with lots of families and teenagers. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression with this age group. Of course, I can help with spiritual issues. However, sexual issues is generally beyond my scope of care. I hae been married for 26 years and have three children myself. My youngest is finishing high school. I would love to serve your family if you would allow me too!

The following link allows you take a personality test that will allow me to get to know you: https://bigfive-test.com/ .

1. Make sure you are in Texas, and I know where you are. If you leave the state, we will have to postpone sessions,
2. Make sure no one is in the room with you.
3. Make sure you dress appropriately (casual is okay!)
4. If someone joins the session, make sure they view the informed consent and approved by working with Betterhelp.

Written on Jun 24, 2020 after therapy with Larry for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, coaching, and compassion fatigue

I'm a wounded combat veteran who's spent the last 17 years dealing with the effects of multiple combat tours. Initially, I walked into counseling because my wife and I wanted to tune-up our marriage. Eventually, there were issues that arose from my military experience that I wasn't dealing with and had buried for years that were affecting all aspects of my life. I'd done therapy before for PTSD, but there were "soul wounds" I was having a tough time processing. Luckily, Larry is a military chaplain who understands the struggles of soldiers and suggested EMDR together. I'd heard good things, but man... it's changed my life. Larry was able to cut through the BS with me and we worked hard on areas I've kept long protected. Incorporating my faith in the healing process has been essential too. I can't recommend this man enough!
