With nine years of dedicated experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring a wealth of expertise in supporting individuals through their journeys of healing and personal growth. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults.

Hello, my name is Dennis Steelman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I primarily utilize CBT and EMDR in the treatment process. I believe that therapy should be impactful and long-lasting. I believe my job is to guide and instruct, but real change will occur when there is a measurable sense of buy-in. I look forward to working with you and I wish you all the best.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character. I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other. Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are clients with variety of different issues and concerns. Three words that describe my style are cultural competency, empathy and effective listening skills. Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine. What influences me to do the work do is striving be the best person I can be and helping others to do the same. I grew up as a Army brat as my Dad was in the Army and he retired after 20 years in the service. I got to see the world and the country and that has shaped my world views.

I believe that an individual's problems or issues are psychological in nature and of no specific kind or degree, but rather depend on the specialty of the therapist. The key idea behind therapy is that each individual person is unique and distinctive, which means that a one size fits all approach to therapy will not be effective, whether the therapy is intended to help someone recover physically from a car accident, or emotionally from a traumatic event. As a therapist, I utilize techniques and develop a treatment plan designed specifically for each client's unique needs, addressing peculiarities of the client's personality and situation rather than providing generic treatment which may be less effective. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor. My formal education has prepared me to counsel individuals, groups, couples, families, adults, adolescents, and children.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process.

Hello and welcome! You have taken a step further in caring for your mental health. I am honored that you are considering me to accompany you throughout this journey. I am so glad you are here. I believe in prioritizing our mental health just as much as our physical health. In therapy, I provide a non-judgmental space to explore past and present feelings and situations.
