Larkin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in our Hoover and Chelsea locations. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Alabama (Roll Tide). Throughout her career, Larkin has developed her practice working with a diverse clientele, including children, teens, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She enjoys working with individuals and providing space for their growth and empowerment within themselves. She has witnessed how the power of play therapy can provide children with the skills to process their feelings and experiences in healthy ways and promote healthy attachment and communication skills within their families. 

Larkin specializes in working with children and teens who find it difficult to recognize and understand their emotions, those who feel lost and hopeless or overwhelmed by what life has placed before them. She believes that her clients have strength and power within themselves even if it can’t always be felt or seen. Larkin’s therapy style is open, interactive, positive, and client-centered in order to allow the client to build healthy and effective interpersonal skills.

When she is not working with clients, you can likely find Larkin outside. She enjoys spending time with her family which includes her husband, two dogs, and a horse. She also enjoys reading, cooking, and being active!
