Larry Porta is an avid outdoors-man who loves to fly-fishing, archery, surfing, canoeing, camping and hunting. He travels throughout the United States in pursuit of these adventures, and he loves sharing these moments with others. Counseling does not just have to happen in an office setting, hence the creation of Brave Heart Adventures. Brave Heart Adventures are one of Larry’s favorite ways to further the counseling process. These trips can help you get away from everything, so that you may be able to see things with a clearer mind.
