I am Dino Koutsolioutsos and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since the mid-1980s. I consider psychotherapy a good, but not a necessary, tool to address and explore life issues. I approach therapy as a friend and as another human being in the struggle and joy that is called life. My approach to therapy is instinctive, conversational, and relational. I believe my duty as a therapist is first, to listen, to try to understand, to empathize, and relate to the issues of another human being and then to respond and assist the other person in finding solutions to life's challenges and grow.

Is your child seeking a safe space for them to process their thoughts and emotions? I specialize with working with young children (6-12), children with disabilities who have behavioral, social emotional difficulties, and adolescents (13-17) who struggle with trauma related issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and suicidal tendencies. This period of your child's life has the potential to be filled with the best memories of youth and freedom but are often weighed down by anxiety and feelings of sadness.

Life can be hard and we're all trying to navigate its challenges as best we can. This can often come at the cost of losing connection with who we truly are. In my practice, I always make the effort to meet you where you're at in your life in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner as I assume that many of the things you want to change may have served a really important purpose at some point in your history. From here, we will work together to rediscover your true self so that you can construct a more satisfying life that is authentically aligned with your values, needs, and desires.

As a teen I worked with foster youth who shared their stories of abandonment, loneliness, and trauma. As a kid myself I didn't fully know how to support besides listening and comfort. I never wanted to feel that helpless when helping a fellow human being again so I became a therapist. Watching people heal and having the privilege of being a part of their journey has been my greatest joy as a therapist.
