I am a mostly retired clinical and forensic psychologist. I continue in a part-time private practice on Telegraph Road in Bingham Farms, Michigan. My practice is named Larry M. Friedberg, Ph.D., LLC. I have been in private practice since 1981, focusing on treatment of children, adolescents, and adults, as well as psychological assessment and forensic psychology.

I am no longer accepting new patients.

This site’s goal is to provide information about me and my practice, as well as some other useful information, including links to web sites which may be of help to you.

A Breadth and Depth of Experience

As a clinical and forensic psychologist, I have provided professional therapeutic services to many patients and families in over 40 years in private practice. After years of study at the University of Michigan, I remained committed to continuing professional education, service to my profession, and therapeutic help to persons with many kinds of problems. This created a framework for reasoned and innovative work with individuals, families and couples and with the courts.

Teaching A New Generation of Psychologists

Teaching and clinical supervision are great ways to keep myself current with new developments in my profession, and to encourage the growth of other professionals.

I have also, for many years, provided consultation and supervision to limited-license and fully-licensed psychologists in private practice.
