About

Hi there, I'm Dennis! Hi, I'm Dennis Newlin, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with a unique approach that merges counseling psychology with integrative and functional medicine. My practice is rooted in over 30 years of experience, specializing in areas like substance misuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, and domestic violence. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered, holistic, and informed by a range of evidence-based methodologies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These approaches, alongside my focus on the interconnectedness of mental and physical health, allow me to provide personalized strategies that address the unique needs of each client. My work as a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine further informs my practice, emphasizing the role of lifestyle factors in mental health and well-being My focus I typically work with adults navigating challenges related to substance misuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, and intimate partner violence. I am also comfortable treating conditions related to chronic pain and have a particular interest in lifestyle-related health concerns. My communication style I create a safe and non-judgmental environment in my sessions, encouraging open dialogue and fostering trust. My approach is empathetic and understanding, making clients feel heard, validated, and empowered. My journey to therapy My journey to becoming a therapist began in youth ministry, where I realized that I needed more tools to effectively support individuals. This led me to pursue a Master's in Counseling Psychology, propelling me into the field of therapy. As I deepened my understanding and saw mental health as a whole-body issue, I felt compelled to further my education. This led me to earn a Master's in Integrative and Functional Medicine, a decision that has since profoundly enriched my holistic approach to mental health.
