Are you feeling stuck?
Are you going through a difficult time, overwhelmed by stressful or painful thoughts and feelings, unable to cope?
Are you facing a crisis in yourself, your life or your relationship? Therapy is many things, but at its heart, it's a special kind of relationship, and a special type of conversation. At its best, it’s a process not of fixing your problems and shortcomings, but of discovering, and valuing, more and more of who you are. You know the stories of people discovering that some discarded, unimpressive object found in the attic is a rare and valuable antique? Therapy offers the opportunity to discover that in the closet of your psyche, underneath all the hurt and junk, what you threw out many years ago as useless or hurtful about yourself is in fact a source of treasure. If you want to stop hurting and feel better about yourself and your life; if you want to trust what you know, feel and want, and become the person you want to be and know that you truly are; or if you want you and your spouse to get to the heart of what's driving you apart, and re-connect and find the love that brought you together in the first place, then email me or call me at 240 315-8100.
Are you suffering from the after-effects of a traumatic past?
Do you want "something more" out of life -- more fulfillment, more peace of mind, more joy?
If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, you've come to the right place.
My name is Larry Letich. For two decades I’ve been helping people find the answers to the most difficult and painful problems they face, and have helped them make lasting positive changes in their lives and relationships to become happier, more productive, and more fulfilled.
I believe in helping you discover and decide what's true for you -- the truths that deep down only you know, about who you are, what you need, what you've been through, and what you want for your life. I can help you access those inner truths quickly, clearly and deeply, not just from your "head" but from a solid, bedrock sense of what you really know and feel inside. Then we work together to help you live, more and more, from your emerging sense of clarity, wholeness, and well-being.
I work with women, men and couples of all ages and types. But in addition, I've developed a few special areas of interest, listed in the navigation bar to the left.
To begin with, I've spent many years exploring the different issues and styles of being that men and women bring to therapy. Beginning with women: With psychologist Dr. Helene Brenner, I co-wrote I Know I'm in There Somewhere: A Woman's Guide to Finding Her Inner Voice and Living a Life of Authenticity (Gotham Books, 2003). I've worked, as best as any man can, to understand the particular pressures and psychic forces that motivate women -- and sometimes get inthe way.
Yet I'm equally interested in the issues and needs that men bring to therapy. Check my page on men in therapy for that.
In addition, I've specialized in working with anxiety and depression; working with couples or marriage counseling; working with writers and other creative people, as I am a writer as well as a therapist; working with sexual compulsions and sexual identity confusion; and working with people who struggle with underachievement. If one or more of those categories fits you, then please read what I have to say about it on the corresponding web page.
I look forward to hearing from you!
