Getting to know Lawrence McDaniel
Hello, I'm Larry, and I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges. As the Founder of Coyote Hill (coyotehill.org), I've dedicated over 33 years to working with foster children, families, and individuals in crisis. My primary focus is on addressing anger management, stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, grief, religious trauma, and other behavioral and relationship issues.
In a world that often demands us to mask our struggles, having a space where your feelings are validated and your experiences are understood can be transformative. My approach is centered on building a trusting relationship where you can feel safe to explore your deepest concerns and aspirations. Together, we can work towards understanding the root of your emotions and behaviors, developing strategies to manage them, and paving the way for a future where you feel more in control, connected, and fulfilled.
I hold a Master's in Social Work (MSW) and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Your story matters, and I am here to listen, understand, and help you write the next chapter—one in which you feel empowered and at peace. Together, we can explore the possibilities that lie ahead and take steps towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. We can't undo the past, but we can work together to reach a place where you can finish well.
If you're ready to take the first step towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create a brighter future.

Excellent provider - almost instant rapport, and outstanding job at going from introductions to actual work that left me feeling heard and supported, and eager to continue our work weekly. Highly recommended, especially for those new or wary of therapy.

Larry was timely and efficient. He greeted us, we didn’t have to wait long and were able to be heard. Larry is very relatable and not intimidating at all.

Larry is a very compassionate man that listens and asks direct questions that lead you to self analyze yourself. He has been very beneficial in helping me regain self confidence and to rebuild a damaged marriage. I would recommend Larry to anyone!!!

I have been deployed multiple times and have seen and done things nobody should ever have to.
I off and on have problems dealing with my trauma and I have a very hard time trusting and opening up to people.
Larry easily became a close friend I can call at any time because of how I was able to relate to him through a Veteran Therapy program he was doing.
Through that program I met another veteran who became my best friend.
He was like me suffering from the memories we both had.
One night in August of 2021 I got a call from him that changed my life forever. He was having suicidal thoughts and was telling me good bye one last time. Later that night I ended up finding my best friend’s body the bad memories had won and I tragically lost my best friend.
I couldn’t go long without that image of him in my head hitting me.
If I did not have someone like Larry in my life at that time and currently who knows where or how I would be.
Larry is an amazing counselor and an even better friend.

I would highly recommended Larry if your looking for growth in the service for your child or yourself your at the right place.
I can't even describe our chaos lifestyle and no respect for each other. Utili Larry the boys started opening up to him.
Fast forwarding once week we have family time at home. What is said during this time is off limits ?? of the sky is the limit. We turn off all electronics and share about our day and if something is bothering then.
Fast forwarding again none of this would of been possible with out your assistance and guidance ??
Raising the two Grandson's I realize it takes a village. Thank you for offering me the tools and strategies to improve our life style at home.
I would Highly recommend if your looking for growth and boundaries in your home this is the right place for you.
Thank You

Prior to working with Mr. Larry as my kids call him, I had heard great things about his counseling skills. Each of my 3 boys ( 1 adopted and 2 foster) ranging in age from 8 to 14 thoroughly enjoyed their sessions with Larry. He met them on their level and gave them a voice in their treatment plans. As a result my children, would share what they were learning. Furthermore Larry is a consistent communicator. He would tell me about my children's progess and how I could support them at home. My children while proud of their growth, were disappointed when their time with Mr. Larry was over. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate and compotent couselor.

Finding the right counselor for my son was crucial, and we hit the jackpot with Larry! From the very first session, it was clear that he was not just a professional but someone who genuinely cared about my son's well-being. Larry created a safe and trusting environment where my son felt comfortable opening up about his struggles.
What sets Larry apart is his ability to listen actively and provide practical advice that resonates deeply. He tailored the sessions to my son's specific needs, making each one productive and meaningful.
I'm incredibly grateful to Larry for the positive impact he has had on my son's life. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for compassionate and effective counseling services. Even months after formal sessions have ended, he still checks in with me periodically to see how my son is doing.
