Getting to know Larry Smith

I bring over 25 years of experience in mental health, ranging from addiction to trauma. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino. I believe in a strength-based approach to supporting clients because everyone has skills, talents, and abilities to tap into to overcome life’s challenges. I am a firm believer in a non-judgmental approach to therapy so that you, the client, feel safe, accepted, and empowered. I use a broad array of therapy techniques such as trauma-informed care, strength-based, systems, solution-focused or brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, grief therapy, and much more.
