Larry Lawson - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Over 30 years experience helping people solve all kinds of relationship problems, including marital conflicts, troubled and difficult children, domestic violence, child abuse, divorce, and child custody. My career has been a parallel process, starting off as a child welfare caseworker and returning once again after graduate school, before opening a private practice. Child welfare and child protection are my foundation, with experience helping children, parents and families work through great difficulties. After 20 years in a field office as a worker and supervisor, I began pursuing a new career as a counselor and therapist.
