Deirdre Barthle, LPC
“My style of therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment therapy/mindfulness. My passion is for learning your story and working alongside you to find the solutions that work for you. I’m here to help you examine what you’ve already lived through and find the path forward. In my work with people with trauma I’ve learned that we often need the reminder – no matter what you have struggled with; you are a survivor and that needs to be brought to light. Keeping that in mind, I am guided by the client towards the goals that they feel are necessary for their treatment.”

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.
