Larry Laehn is a special guy. Through over a year of counseling, he guided me through many deep-rooted issues with calmness, compassion, faith, optimism, and encouragement. Having adult children my own age, he became like a father figure to me. Having worked in various career fields, he brings a well-rounded understanding of real-world experiences. I've counseled with many different people through the years and was looking for the right fit. Larry was the one.

Larry is one of the warmest, caring and easy to talk to human beings I’ve ever met. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who had no vested interest other than seeing me happy. I looked forward to seeing him every week even when everything was going great. He was extremely knowledgeable and was eager to share up to date research he’d found while trying to be the best therapist he could. I would recommend his services to anyone. I’m so grateful to have met him and had him in my life.

I am very grateful for Larry and have found my time working with him to be incredibly valuable. Larry is thoughtful and creative in helping me navigate challenges, from the biggest issues to the littlest stressors. He is incredibly intelligent and well spoken, which makes conversation with him enlightening even beyond the standard goals and topics of therapy. If you want an engaged and invested therapist who will match or exceed your efforts to work on yourself with his own efforts to help you, Larry is your guy.
