Larry O'Connor

San Francisco & Palo Alto

I provide counseling for individuals and couples, teens and families. I offer a creative and friendly atmosphere for people to focus on themselves or to understand the dynamics of their relationship in a way that enhances communication and intimacy, yet maintains individuality.

My style is informal, humorous, but professional. I reveal what I am thinking about your situation, and encourage feedback to make sure that I am understanding you. I see my work as collaboratively finding a way to resolve what hasn’t been working, or is hindering you from getting what you want out of your life.

My Specialties Include:

Understanding Relationships
Couples’ Communication, Counseling
Separation, Divorce, and Co-Parenting
Depression and Anxiety
Life Direction, Identity, Transitions, and Life Coaching
Men’s Issues
Substance Abuse, Addictions, Maintenance and Recovery
I am not limited to one particular way of approaching our work. I won’t fit you into any particular template. I collaborate with you in order to provide what you actually need.
