About

Dr. Dennis McLeod

Congratulations! Your search landed you on the page of a trauma-informed, compassionate, and affirming psychologist. Hello. My Name is Dr. Dennis McLeod- a proud Morehouse Man and graduate of The University of Florida. My journey has taught me that life is hard and the road to success can be isolating and lonely-especially in settings that lack diversity. This is further complicated when asking for help is frowned upon because of cultural mistrust and expectations. All of this may cause hesitation or lead to unwarranted self-appraisal when you should be- instead- celebrating your accomplishments, strength and resiliency!

As a therapist, I believe you are at the center of your healing and I use the relationship we form as the primary tool for change. Often I try to balance mindfulness and relationship-based interventions to treat chronic pain, trauma, substance use, and issues of identity and belonging with other evidence-based approaches such as:

My Expertise

Areas of Focus

Black Men's Mental Health

Active listening is important to Black men who often do not feel they have the opportunity to express themselves and be vulnerable in addressing their lived experience.

Identity Problems

Developing a sense of identity is an essential part of every individual becoming mature. Parts of identity may be classified by things such as religion, gender, or ethnicity.

Trauma Counseling

Providing people with an opportunity to discuss their experiences within an empathetic supportive setting to develop strategies for dealing with the ongoing difficulties

Coping Issues

Having effective coping skills help clients manage challenging situations, by learning to calm their body and mind, shifting the way they think about specific situations.

I am here to help

I am here to help because, if left unchecked, this can breed Depression, Anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, Burnout and even physical pain. I am passionate about demystifying therapy and creating treatment that meets Black and brown people’s needs- especially those burdened with “Being the First” and constantly told “not mess up.” Reach out and let’s get started!
