Larry Iannotti

LCSW, PhD

SE Montreal Faculty
 

Larry recently joined SEI faculty and is approved to teach the Beginning year of the Somatic Experiencing program. He has over 3 decades of clinical practice working with individuals, couples and groups. It was during the height of the AIDS crisis in New York City that Larry discovered his equal passions for social justice and the powerful potential of healing from trauma. He worked in hospitals and HIV-care centers in New York for a decade before returning to school to get his PhD in Social Welfare and researching the prevalence of discrimination within sexual minority communities. But it was Somatic Experiencing that gave shape and purpose to all of these preceding experiences.

In addition to Somatic Experiencing, Larry has also trained in Hypnotherapy, Inner Relationship Focusing, EFT, and AEDP. Larry maintains his private psychotherapy practice in New York, working with individuals and couples. He practices Somatic Experiencing within a relationally informed and attachment-based treatment model and believes strongly that a body-based foundation to any therapeutic work best supports our clients’ inherent capacity for increased resiliency and healing.

Larry spends half his time in NYC and the rest in upstate New York where he and his partner care for a century old farmhouse and tend to a few colonies of bees.
