Larissa Pendergraft, LCSW

I offer therapy to aid clients with working through challenges, develop pathways to success and to live a more gratifying life. I view my role as one to walk along side you as you explore what may be holding you back or blocking you from achieving success. I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a brief focused therapy using voluntary image replacement and bi-lateral eye stimulation, reducing distressful symptoms and assisting clients in moving through and resolving difficult memories, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma. I have 15+ years of experience as a clinician working with veterans, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, adjustment issues, and parenting struggles. I have worked in various settings including schools, drug treatment centers, inpatient psychiatric facilities, Veterans Affairs and crisis response. I enjoy working with adolescent populations and revel in helping youth (and families) navigate this difficult stage of life, it's not an easy time for most. I am passionate about helping folks wade through difficult times and achieve success.
