Josh Larkin, LGSW, Joins St. George Medical Clinic’s Behavioral Health Team
PARSONS, W.Va. — St. George Medical Clinic is excited to announce the recent hiring of Josh Larkin, LGSW to fill the role of therapist for St. George Medical Clinic’s Behavioral Health Department.
Larkin, originally from Elkins, W.Va., received his associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in Social Work from Davis and Elkins College. Additionally, he earned his master’s degree at the University of Southern California. He is a licensed graduate social worker.
Prior to pursuing his college education, Larkin served six years in the United States Marine Corps. Following his return from overseas, he met with a therapist and social worker at the Clarksburg VA, who in-turn got him interested in mental health. When the military offered to pay for him to further his education, he decided that he would be interested in working in the behavioral health field and has ever since.
Larkin chose to join the St. George team because he previously heard through word-of-mouth from friends and other community members about the positive work environment.
He enjoys working with the staff at St. George, as well as having the opportunity to interact with an array of patients, finding common ground with many of them. Larkin specializes in anxiety and depression treatment.
Outside of work, Larkin enjoys planting his summer vegetable garden, fishing, and camping. He currently resides in Elkins.
Larkin says, “I hope to show kids—especially teenagers—that I see at the high school, that no matter what you’ve been through, you can grow from it. You can become a better person because of it. You just have to take the time, nobody is immune to dealing with hard things.”
