Adri (A-dree) Larsen, MA, LPCC, NCC
Adults, Children and Family Psychotherapist
Adri came into counseling after spending years in the corporate marketing world and starting her own family. Real life — the beautiful parts and the complicated parts — shaped the way she sees therapy: nobody’s path is linear, and nobody fits in a neat box.
People tend to feel comfortable with Adri quickly. She is warm, grounded, and straightforward, and she brings humor into the room when it helps things feel lighter. She believes therapy works best when it feels real — not stiff, not clinical for the sake of being clinical — just two people talking honestly.
Adri values building relationships where people feel both accepted and gently challenged. She isn’t afraid to name the hard thing, but she does it with kindness and care. Being able to walk with people through fear, confusion, change, and hurt feels like a privilege to her.
“Adri enjoys working with diverse and multicultural populations and prioritizes her continuing education to be a safe practitioner for people of color (POC), LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent (ND) individuals.”
Adri’s experience
Adri works with kids, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families. Yes, she loves counseling.
She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University, as well as a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Denver. She has been trained as a trauma-focused generalist and has significant experience working with people across the lifespan.
Her training includes work in:
- trauma and attachment across ages
- couples and relational dynamics
- play therapy and expressive therapies
- experiential work and emotion-focused processes
She has completed additional training in Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, IFS-informed work, Emotion-Focused Therapy, TF-CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
Adri has worked in busy outpatient settings and in community environments supporting:
- children & parents
- blended and divorced families
- adoption and military families
- people navigating depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns
- relational/developmental trauma and attachment wounds
- career changes and “what now?” moments
A common thread through all of her work is simple: helping people feel less alone and more supported in their real, everyday lives.
Areas of Focus
When You Want Support (Not Just Homework)
Some people come to therapy wanting worksheets, strategies, and plans.
Others come because they need someone steady to sit with them while things feel confusing, heavy, or painful.
Adri works especially well with people who want:
- a safe place to talk
- gentle reflection
- honest feedback
- room to figure things out at their own pace
She believes people grow when they feel heard, seen, and supported — and when they are invited to stretch just a little beyond where they’ve been staying stuck.
Kids, Parents, and Family Life
Adri loves working with kids and families — especially families who don’t feel like they need a super-strict or uptight therapist.
With kids, she uses play, art, curiosity, and connection rather than pushing them to “perform” therapy. With parents, she offers perspective, validation, and support (not perfection standards).
She helps families navigate:
- emotional outbursts and overwhelm
- big transitions
- self-esteem and identity
- attachment and relational challenges
Her goal is to help families feel more connected, safer, and more themselves.
Couples & Relationships
Adri enjoys working with couples who may feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected — including couples who wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves as “high functioning.”
She helps partners:
- slow down
- really hear each other
- get honest about patterns
- rebuild connection piece by piece
Adri is kind — and she also tells the truth. She’ll sit with you, she’ll laugh with you, and she’ll gently nudge you toward the conversations that actually change things.
How Adri Works
Adri’s approach is humanistic, integrative, and grounded in relationships. She focuses on creating safety, trust, and collaboration before anything else.
She’s:
- Genuine, down-to-earth, conversational, compassionate and occasionally funny — when it helps.
She doesn’t rush the process. She also doesn’t avoid the hard spots. Together, you’ll explore what matters most and move toward greater understanding, self-acceptance, and connection.
Her work is evidence-based and intentionally de-pathologizing — meaning she sees you as a whole person, not a diagnosis.
