Dennis Sellis, CSW
Do you find yourself stuck and don’t know how to move forward? Do you feel one of life’s many hurtles has become a road block from what you want to achieve?
I am passionate about helping clients find a better way to live even with the trials and tribulations that may come their way. I will do this by helping the client develop the necessary tools and skills to maintain a healthy lifestyle that one seeks.
I trust that every individual has the ability to overcome those trials with support and guidance. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to achieve a happy and healthy life.
I have an extensive history working with families as well as individuals who have suffered from substance abuse, domestic violence, and trauma. My focus is on cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.
...A little bit more about me...Joseph
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychological science and eventually a full-time job in the field. As a licensed Mental Health Service Provider in the greater Salt Lake area, I am committed to the well-being of all my patients and go above and beyond to cater to their needs.
I truly care for all of my patients and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek based on their vision of becoming healthy and whole. Since 2009, I have worked with a variety of patients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives.
I love working with adults and believe the process of healing for clients starts with the development of a therapeutic alliance with their counselor/therapist. I have a vast background working with addiction and mental health, I am EMDR trained and am experienced with the use of DBT, Trauma Treatment, anxiety, depression, CBT, and other cognitive-behavioral approaches.
I am passionate about working with diverse populations, LGBTQ, and acculturation issues. Fluent in Portuguese, I have experience working with culturally diverse populations while providing conscious cultural sensitivity.
I have worked in settings that provided trauma-informed treatment, for personality disorders, and addiction. I have also worked with community partners to understand better the battles clients face while dealing with struggles that prevent them from being with loved ones.
I do believe a community effort is necessary to inspire and change an individual. Also, I believe clients must be treated with the highest level of respect, a non-judgmental stance, and no shaming while exercising unconditional positive regard.
