Mark D. Larson, Counseling & Consulting PLLC

You might feel stuck in your life or in unmanageable feelings or in a relationship or in your healing process. I want to help you find a safe place to get clarity, to explore your feelings and concerns, to receive honest constructive feedback and support. I will invite you to be an active participant in your own growth and change. This might include sharing your story, exploring feelings and sometimes doing projects outside of sessions such as reading, journaling, information gathering or making changes. I want to help you to trust your effectiveness in relationships and to feel more alive and to live out of your whole self. What to expect? I will listen to your descriptions of what hurt and what you would like help with. These hurts often change as your therapy continues. I will work very hard so that you might feel I understand you. If you want it, I will give you initial feedback and/or ongoing feedback which might help you prioritize your goals or give you new ideas. I am an older white guy, born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota. So like everyone I was raised with certain biases. However I strive to be in recovery from my biases and prejudices and I welcome persons of any background, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Over the years I have been privileged to work with persons from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have been practicing since 1989. I am a NC Licensed Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, a Psychotherapist Member of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education and a Level 2 Practitioner in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) International.
