Jon Larsen

About Me

I'm Jon Larsen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating hard transitions. I founded Returning Stronger Coaching LLC after watching my own daughter Brooklyn come home early from her LDS mission — and realizing that most families, including mine, had no clear roadmap for what to do next. Brooklyn now serves as a peer mentor at Returning Stronger, bringing firsthand experience to every session. We work with returned missionaries, early returned missionaries, and their families nationwide — all sessions online via video or phone. Our approach is faith-sensitive, forward-focused, and built around your specific situation. Visit us at returningstronger.com.

Results & Goals

Clients work with us to find clarity and direction after their mission, rebuild confidence and forward momentum, strengthen family relationships during a difficult transition, and move toward the life they want — on their own terms and in their own time.

How I like to coach

I work online via video or phone — no office, no waiting room, just an honest conversation from wherever you feel most comfortable. Sessions are available evenings and weekends to fit your family's schedule.
