Dr. Dennis "DJ" Jones, Ph.D., LMHC, CHP, NLP Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH28001) | U.S. Marine Corps Combat Veteran | Certified Hypnosis Practitioner | Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner | EMDR-Trained Trauma Therapist At Bearded Dynamics, Inc., my mission is simple: to help people develop the mindset, resilience, and practical skills necessary to create lasting change. I provide compassionate, evidence-informed counseling for children, adolescents, adults, older adults, families, first responders, military service members, and veterans facing life's most difficult challenges. Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy is designed to meet you where you are while helping you move toward the person you want to become. My clinical approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and individualized. I believe lasting change occurs when insight is combined with practical action, emotional healing, and intentional growth. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches to create treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs. Treatment may incorporate modalities including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Clinical Hypnosis Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Mindfulness-Based Interventions Motivational Interviewing (MI) Trauma-Informed Care Solution-Focused Therapy Strength-Based Counseling Relapse Prevention and Recovery-Oriented Treatment My work emphasizes helping individuals understand how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, past experiences, and nervous system responses interact to shape daily life. Together, we identify barriers, strengthen resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, process unresolved experiences, and build a foundation for sustainable emotional wellness. As both a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, I understand that resilience is not the absence of struggle—it is the willingness to continue moving forward despite adversity. Healing is rarely about becoming someone different; it is about uncovering the healthiest, strongest version of yourself that has always been there. At Bearded Dynamics, Inc., we believe meaningful change begins with intentional action. Therapy is not simply about reducing symptoms—it is about developing insight, increasing psychological flexibility, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and building a life aligned with your values and purpose. Whether your goal is healing from trauma, overcoming addiction, managing anxiety or depression, improving relationships, enhancing personal performance, or creating a healthier future, I am committed to walking alongside you throughout that journey.
