The counseling world is shifting. The latest studies are proving that effective counseling goes beyond just talk therapy: it includes attention to both the mind and the body. I utilize experiential modalities, based on cutting-edge research and real-world experience by the world’s leading experiential practitioners. I combine this with classic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Applying these tandem techniques in the counseling setting helps my clients attain tangible and life-altering changes.

We all know how difficult life can be. It can be filled with many ups and downs. As a counselor, I want nothing more but to help individuals be able to grow through hard times. I believe that on the other side of any challenge is a stronger person. I can assist in helping you accept the difficulties and challenges of life, allowing yourself to step towards them rather than run away, and ultimately realize the full potential that you have. I believe in the core foundation as testified by Victor Frankl and Anne Frank, that all people are inherently good and have goodness within them.

Hi! I’m Dennis. I’m here to journey with you as you face your life's challenges. My approach is 'Person-centered', meaning I believe the answers to your dilemmas are found inside you. I merely help you unlock those answers by connecting with the intuition you originally had inside you but may have lost along the way. Often to connect with our intuition, life requires us to face and overcome all our personal fears and anxieties, including the shield of anger and depression we sometimes hide behind. I practice at Insights (Insurance) and New Hope Counseling (cash pay for former clients). I am ready to listen and hear you. Come see!

Being a therapist is not just a job to me, it's a calling. My mission? To support guys in navigating life's challenges while fostering an environment of complete comfort. Often, perceptions about therapy are shaped by hearsay or pop culture portrayals suggesting it's just for people who can't hold it together or those who've lost their way mentally. This is a clichéd stereotype – and it all boils down to one thing: stigma. You've probably heard it before, the hushed whispers saying, "I must be losing it if I need a therapist." But here's the truth: it's not about being weak, broken, or crazy. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

A pivotal time to try therapy is during young adulthood. It's a tough phase of life and it's not only challenging for the individual, but for their parents as well! There can be pressure in areas of sports, religion, school, and relationships, not to mention "what they're going to do with their life!" Transitioning into adulthood can be difficult, but I've seen it be a time of great progress for clients and their loved ones. I help clients find direction, learn to cope with anxiety, and find their own unique identity and strength. Don't wait too long to start living the life you want to be living.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
