Larry Crawford helps individuals, teens, couples, and families across California move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling steady, understood, and empowered. As a Marriage & Family Therapist with LifeStance Health, he provides individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy for adolescents (11+), teens, adults, and seniors. Larry supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, offering practical tools and steady guidance tailored to each stage of life.

He has extensive experience working with ADHD, alcohol and drug use issues, and childhood behavior concerns, helping families improve communication and rebuild trust. Larry is particularly skilled in addressing couple’s issues and midlife transitions, supporting partners who feel disconnected, caught in repeated conflict, or uncertain about the future of their relationship. His approach is balanced and collaborative—grounded in accountability, empathy, and evidence-based care. Larry integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients better understand their thoughts, regulate emotions, and build healthier patterns. He also incorporates couples/marital counseling and family therapy techniques to strengthen relationships and create more supportive home environments. In addition to individuals and couples, he works with members of the LGBTQ+ community, First Responders, and Military/Veterans, offering culturally responsive care that honors each client’s lived experience. He offers additional specialties and interventions to meet diverse mental health needs. Since beginning his clinical practice in 2018, Larry has remained committed to providing thoughtful, results-oriented mental health treatment. Outside of his clinical work, he enjoys boxing, meditation, bike riding, and hiking—activities that reflect his belief in balance, resilience, and overall wellness.
