Dennard McInnis

I work primarily with men, older teens, and young adults. Most of the men I see are struggling with relationships, work, or both. You may be dealing with conflict in your marriage, a breakup, pressure at work, or uncertainty about your career. Maybe you're feeling criticized, overwhelmed, or stuck repeating the same problems.

I have more than 16 years of clinical experience across psychiatric emergencies, substance use treatment, juvenile justice, and private practice. I help people look beyond the immediate problem to understand what's happening and what they can do differently.

My style is active, curious, and direct. I often find that what looks like the problem began as a solution. We'll look at what's actually happening, what you're reacting to, what your patterns have been protecting you from, and what they're costing you now. The goal isn't just understanding yourself better. It's being able to respond differently when those patterns show up.

The first session is a straight conversation, not an intake interrogation. We start with what's happening in your life and what you want to change. I'll ask questions, tell you what I'm noticing, and challenge interpretations that don't fit the evidence, including my own. You can disagree with me. We'll work toward practical changes and examine honestly whether they're helping.
