Larry Litras, LCSW
I am a licensed social worker and a licensed addiction therapist. The bulk of my work has focused around family systems and the multi-generational aspects of emotional and behavioral issues. It's important to understand the past as a way of managing the present and the future. I have worked with different populations over the decades of my career and feel able to assist in most cases. My work with adolescents trying to manage behavioral/emotional and substance use issues is fairly extensive. I believe the most important aspect of helping is being an excellent listener and focusing on solutions.
