With over 20 years working directly with individuals, couples, and men, Larry brings clinical depth and real warmth to every speaking engagement. He doesn’t lecture — he creates conversations that help people feel seen, think differently, and leave with something they can actually use.

He has spoken at hospitals, school boards, universities, community organizations, and corporate conferences across Ontario and beyond — on everything from mindfulness and stress to men’s emotional health and family dynamics.

Topics Larry speaks on.

Men’s Mental Health

Why men struggle to ask for help, what gets in the way, and what actually works — for men themselves and for the people who work with them.

Mindfulness in Practice

Drawing on his training with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Zindel Segal, Larry makes mindfulness practical, accessible, and immediately applicable — for clinicians, educators, and general audiences.

Fatherhood & Identity

The emotional terrain of becoming a father, the pressure to provide, the distance that creeps in, and what it takes to show up differently than the father you had.

Relationships & Conflict

Why couples fight, what’s really underneath recurring conflict, and how partners can begin to interrupt the cycle — grounded in EFT and Terry Real’s relational work.

Youth Mental Health

Stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation for young people — for schools, parent councils, and clinical settings. Practical tools for both youth and the adults supporting them.

Stress & Resilience

For workplaces, caregivers, and anyone carrying more than they let on. Evidence-based approaches to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and building sustainable resilience.

Marriage & Attachment

What keeps couples connected — and what pulls them apart. Drawing on attachment theory and EFT, Larry explores the emotional bonds that shape our closest relationships and what it takes to repair and deepen them.

Premarital Workshop

How to prepare for the biggest step of your life. A practical and honest conversation for couples about to marry — covering communication, conflict, expectations, and the emotional foundations of a lasting partnership.

How Larry works with groups.

Whether it’s a keynote for a conference, a lunch-and-learn for a workplace, or an interactive workshop for a clinical team, Larry tailors each engagement to the audience and context.

He has facilitated MBCT groups, led parent and family workshops, moderated panels, and delivered grand rounds presentations at hospitals. Every format is shaped around genuine conversation — not a lecture.
