Getting to know Dennis Patrick Smith
Dennis is a certified trauma professional (PESI) serving clients online throughout the great State of Texas as an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He holds a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University.
Mr. Dennis Patrick Smith's greatest passion is helping others with unresolved trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); supporting those struggling with the underlying causes of addictions; and assisting you and your loved ones with relationship issues.
Dennis began his EMDR training in 2018 under Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia, which included brief advanced EMDR supervision by the late Dr. Francine Shapiro in early 2019. He has continued his EMDR training with other leaders in the field from 2018 to the present day.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Many of y'all would agree that it is often not easy to go to a counselor. A counseling session with Dennis usually begins with him asking you to be honest about 3 things that you are the expert of. Those 3 things are your thoughts, your feelings, and your behavior. I collaborate with you while being nonjudgmental, to avoid wasting your time and hard-earned money. Many of my clients here (and since 2017) have told me in their own words, “You get so real!” Counseling is too serious to be anything less.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Many clients have said it Best, and if y'all ask, we will provide a growing list of reviews, of clients that are happy to have found and hired me to serve them. My goals include listening to the point of your feeling heard consistently; helping you help yourself get better, and not just using a band-aid effect to make you feel better; and working collaboratively towards where you want your counseling goals to reach.

Dennis is very understanding while showing a high level of expertise. He knows how to keep things light even in the midst of heavy topics. Everything I’d hope a therapist would be.

Dennis is a very knowledgeable and attentive professional. He has a great deal of experience in this field particularly in relation to EMDR. I would highly recommend.

Therapy is completely new for me . I haven’t had many sessions with Dennis so far but he makes a great first impression. He’s taken the opportunity to let me take the lead so far and really explain my thoughts , feelings and what I’m specifically looking to get out of therapy and what brought me to it . He’s been really good at being engaged , making comments or giving constructive feedback when necessary instead of feeling like I’m not truly being listened to. Looking forward to continue working with him.
