Dr. Larry Wasson is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults seeking healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, greater emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of connection in their lives. He specializes in helping clients improve communication, reduce anxiety, increase mindfulness, and better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

Since 2017, Dr. Wasson has worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, personality disorders, eating disorders, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. He works well with individuals who want to better understand themselves, communicate more effectively, develop healthier boundaries, and build more meaningful relationships. He also enjoys working with members of the LGBTQIA community.

Dr. Wasson’s therapeutic style is client-centered, relational, thoughtful, and collaborative. He aims to create a space where clients feel understood and supported while also being encouraged to reflect, grow, and make meaningful changes. He believes therapy can help people clarify what matters most to them, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward a life that feels more connected, authentic, and meaningful.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Wasson has been involved in training and supervision at Vantage Point Center for Psychotherapy over the past seven years. This experience has strengthened his commitment to thoughtful, ethical, and effective clinical care, as well as his interest in helping developing therapists grow in their clinical understanding, confidence, and therapeutic presence.

His approach is integrative and draws from several therapeutic traditions, including psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, mentalization-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Wasson tailors therapy to each client’s needs, goals, personality, and life circumstances.

Outside of work, he enjoys playing the drums, playing disc golf and spending time with family. He was a professional fighter and is currently writing a graphic novel.

Dr. Wasson graduated with honors from California State University, Chico, and earned his doctorate in psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in Sacramento. His dissertation explored the relationship between meditation and happiness. He began his clinical work with children with special needs, volunteered for a crisis hotline, and worked as a behavior therapist with children and young adults on the autism spectrum.
