Darrin Dennis understands that people are different and seek the services of a psychotherapist for different reasons. This understanding is reflected in his eclectic approach to treatment, tailoring his approach to each client’s individual needs. Ultimately, Darrin believes that people reach out for help because they’re experiencing some kind of pain. As a therapist, Darrin comes alongside his clients, walking with them through their first potentially frightening steps toward growth and onto helping them face, understand, then manage and heal from their pain. Darrin wants each client to live his/her/their life to the greatest and fullest potential possible, and he is committed to assisting every client with achieving this goal.
