Therapists in Bloomington, IN

Beginning the process of healing can be intimidating, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, comfortable space to begin that work. I offer telehealth sessions to anyone living in Indiana, and specialize in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Therapy is a time to reach out and begin to make changes for how you want your life to be different . . . and a therapist helps you find the courage, gather the tools necessary and choose a path to go after it. I have over 20 years experience working with children, families and individuals to assist them in getting back on track with their lives. Specialty areas include children with behavior issues, recovering from abuse and trauma, and coping with divorce, along with all ages of adults wanting a higher quality of life as a result of anxiety and depression.

Life is hard. Sometimes we all need some support and guidance to get us to a healthier/happier place. I use a values based approach to help my clients take steps toward aligning their life with their true values. I believe that when our lives align with our values, we experience a more fulfilling existence. Through the process of counseling, we work toward getting rid of old unhealthy habits and mindsets, finding your true values, and creating new habits that will lead you toward overall fulfillment. I'll be with you every step of the way.

My ideal client is an adult or young adult transitioning into any new area of life or has issues related to school, moving, family issues, relationship issues, friendship issues, and more. I also specialize in working with high school, collegiate, amateur, or professional athletes who are wanting to improve their performance in their sport. Ideally my clients will be self-motivated and eager to work on how they can better their focus and their technique in practice, game, and other life settings. I am ready and willing to assist young adults and adults in all walks of life seeking therapy.

Sometimes life confronts us with experiences that are disruptive personally or in our relationships resulting in feelings of depression, anxiety, or loss. While these feelings are normal, they can present challenges in terms of maintaining our sense of well-being and our ability to function well in our daily lives. In my view, the purpose of therapy is to help clients understand the source of disruptions, help them learn strategies for coping with and working-through difficult emotions, and become aware of triggering experiences. In this way, clients can learn how to repair disruptions and thereby restore their sense of well-being.

Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is important in the healing process so I collaborate with you to develop and pursue goals along the way. We will explore mindfulness, empowerment, and self-reflection to help you on your life path. I work with adults of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender orientations, and religions.

My name is Pam Larr EdS, LMHC, BCBA. I have been working with adults and children for over 20 years. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I strive to aid clients in achieving their goals in a safe and welcoming therapeutic space. I specialize in treating both adults and children with autism, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, behavioral challenges, adjustment issues as well as other transitional issues.

I aim to provide my clients with a safe and supportive space where they will feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I have a passion for working with adults who are pursuing recovery from eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues. I enjoy helping clients restore their relationship with food and eating, improve their body image, and learn to experience and express underlying emotions in healthy ways. I am also enthusiastic about supporting people with issues of depression, anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, self-esteem, and adjustment.

I provide 24/7 on-call support for college students around the country and specialize in working with Indiana University students struggling with depression, anxiety, organization skills, and motivation issues. Parents are concerned and feel unprepared in dealing with these challenges. My counseling focuses on treating the underlying causes of depression, anxiety, and low motivation to get your college student back on track. Office and virtual sessions are available when busy schedules don't permit traditional support. Practice communication is secure and encrypted with professional security features.

I offer a warm and relational approach to people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal mood disorders (postpartum), trauma/ptsd, family issues, and other mental and emotional health concerns. You may be looking for tools to manage anxiety and/or depression, postpartum support, support while making a new transition (careers, family life, school, friendships, etc.), couples work, or somewhere to really focus on internal growth with no specific identified issues. I am currently providing telehealth and walk talk sessions.

Accepting new patients for Summer 2023 (limited availability). I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience treating a wide variety of concerns. These include depression, anxiety, mild to moderate disordered eating, identity issues (LGBTQ+), and difficulties in relationships among others. Prior to March 2023, I served as Director of Indiana University's Counseling and Psychological Services before moving into private practice full-time.
