Sidra Larson

Author of Your Own Story Every life is a narrative in progress—a complex text written across time, shaped by inherited scripts and lived experience. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical practice, I serve as both collaborative editor and engaged reader in the stories my clients bring to our shared work. My approach draws from evidence-based methodologies—Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Cognitive-Behavioral frameworks—but the essence of our work together transcends technique. Like a literary critic examining recurring motifs, we'll identify the patterns that constrain your narrative. Or as a writing mentor, I'll help you revise limiting chapters and author new possibilities. I specialize in working with anyone navigating the particular tensions of contemporary life: those living according to inherited manuscripts rather than authentic authorship, those paralyzed by perfectionist revision, those experiencing moral injury from attempting to be the protagonist of too many simultaneous narratives. My clinical expertise spans couples therapy, workplace trauma, parent training and identity development—each a different genre requiring its own nuanced reading. My work is informed by lived experience: raising three adult children, growing up on an Idaho ranch, and building integrity-centered mental health businesses, I bring a holistic lens to deconstructing patriarchal, societal, and familial programming that limits human flourishing for clients located in Idaho, Arizona, and Utah. In our sessions, you won't find the distant analyst of media stereotypes. Instead, you'll find a warm, authentic space where your story can unfold naturally—where we examine plot structure together, celebrate character development, and help you claim your rightful role as author of your own extraordinary life.
