Belinda Dennis-Johnson, MFT

Belinda has given me practical advice and helpful recommendations in dealing with loss, anxiety, communicating with my spouse, and self negativity. Of course, nothing is a quick fix. The amount of work you put into following the advice is the amount that you get out of it. I have been seeing Belinda for just over a year now. My husband even recently commented that I’ve changed over the time I’ve been seeing her, that I seem more calm in stressful situations. So overall, I would highly recommend Belinda. My only regret is not seeing her sooner.

Some years ago, I sought therapy for anxiety and had 3 sessions with Belinda. The experience turned me off of talking to anyone for years. Her office, a mess, with stacks of folders and documents littered about the couch and floor. I don’t recall it being tax season. Once situated, I was asked to detail my family history and relationship while she sat and jotted things down with reactionary facial expressions. But that’s all she did, with the exception of her inappropriate blurb about the age difference between me and my girlfriend (who is in her twenties and I my early thirties). To quote Belinda: “haha, robbing the cradle aren’t we?” An Unprofessional and unnecessary comment of many. The next session was the same as the first: Me speaking, with nothing in response from her, with the exception of tangential comments. At the end of the 2nd session she wanted me to take the Meyer’s-Briggs test online. So on my own time, I did. When I returned for the 3rd session, she completely forgot about it until I brought it up. Her response to my taking the test: “Wasn’t it fun?” And that was the last we touched on it. I gave her the benefit of the doubt when I asked her at the end of the 3rd session “what’s the next step from here?” to which she responded “the next step is you go to the front desk and the receptionist bills your insurance.” Completely over her head. THAT is when I decided it was my last session with Belinda Dennis Johnson. Each session made me feel more helpless than the last, as the conversations were 1-way with no interplay on her part in regard to solutions. I may as well be talking to a poster on the wall.

I am extremely appreciative and satisfied with the services that she provides. She is very attentive, helpful, understanding, and patient. She provides resources and tools to assist with coping mechanisms. And has ultimately helped me get through some very difficult times in life. I don’t know where I’d be without her. Truly grateful.

Long time client of Belinda. Patient, sensible, and timely always. She has a lot of experience and wide range of disciplines. I’m a better person for her services and enhanced my quality of life tremendously.

I have been going to Belinda for years and she has truly made a huge impact in my life. My mental health is better now then it has ever been. She has really helped me understand myself and how to navigate my own mind in a healthy way. I would definitely recommend anyone try a session and talk with her!

I have had a lot of loss in my life that I have not be able to process. I was looking for a therapist that would be helpful, listens to me, and also be professional enough to tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I did not want a therapist that would just tell me what I want to hear or to tell me what to do. I am so thankful to have found Belinda. She has help me through the worse time in my life. She really listens to you and really understands what you are going through and most important she helps you. Processing loss is not easy, but having a great therapist helps. I would recommend Belinda to anyone who needs a excellent therapist. We need more therapist like her.

Belinda has helped my husband and I set in place some great communication tactics to get our relationship back on track. She is helping us learn the tools to resolve conflict in a healthy manner and create a safe space to communicate within our marriage. Can't say enough good things about her!!

Belinda has listened and coached through many tough times. She remembers what is going on from appt to appt so there is no need to waste time repeating the issues. She is caring and empathetic but also objective which is hard to do when you are the one involved. She has always been on time and available. Highly recommend.

I started working with Belinda in Feb 2023 when my husband and I were separated. She is an incredible listener, and created a judgement-free environment to talk through my problems. Every session I learned something new to bring calm and clarity to my body and mind. She is a relationship EXPERT, and sets realistic expectations for improvement. Belinda didn't rush me. She genuinely cares, and it shows at every stage of therapy. She is an angel in a time when I was lost and feeling hopeless. I feel so grateful for having trusted my gut to call her. Therapy takes time. For those expecting overnight miracles, I challenge you to go easy on yourself (and her). You have to be willing to work and change. She is one of the finest therapists I've ever worked with. Thank you, Belinda! God bless!

Dr. B is an amazing therapist. She has been my therapist for over a year and a half now and has helped me and my wife tremendously. She is a very good doctor.

I entrusted Belinda with the well-being of my daughter, hoping she would benefit from professional guidance. Sadly, not only did her condition not improve, but I also noticed a visible decline in her overall emotional state after the sessions. Furthermore, scheduling appointments became a challenge, with limited availability making it nearly impossible for us to get the consistent support my daughter needed.

Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. Instead of feeling supported and understood, we felt judged and categorized. We were hoping for a constructive dialogue, but we left the session feeling more distressed than before. We believe in the importance of open communication in therapy, and unfortunately, we did not receive that during our visit.

I sought out cognitive-behavioral therapy, hoping to address some long-standing negative thought patterns. Unfortunately, our sessions consistently missed the mark. Instead of guiding me through the processes to identify and challenge my cognitive distortions, I often felt dismissed or misunderstood. The techniques she employed did not align with my expectations of CBT, and I left each session feeling more frustrated than enlightened. Therapy should be a safe space to open up, but with Belinda, I felt more boxed in than ever.

Belinda is simply the best therapist i have ever encountered! She is hones, understanding and most of all very easy to talk to. I have been with Belinda for years and she is definitely the best therapist i have gone to and would recommend her to everyone.

Belinda was quick to respond, professional and knowledgeable about how to work with us. We needed help with our issues as a couple. She did a wonderful job with coaching both us to have better communication. Because of this we are stilled married. She was kind and nonjudgmental with our issues and fair. What we liked the most was she did not take sides.

I was in the worst head space when I started to see Belinda. Now after talking with her I’ve a year she helped me through so many life experiences, good and bad. Now I’m in the best headspace I think I have ever been in. She worked well with my schedule and she did phone sessions with me and that made it very easy on me. Thank you Belinda for all your help

Awful experience, do not see her. She was rude, condescending, and made me very uncomfortable. Please look elsewhere!

I went through 4-5 different therapists before I found Belinda. It was hard not to be discouraged having had bad experiences with so many therapists, but I kept looking and thankfully I found Belinda. She was a breath of fresh air. I immediately felt comfortable with her as a gay man and she was more than willing to assist me with my issues. Belinda has helped me both as an individual and in my relationship. I think couple’s therapy with her has saved my relationship. I’m so thankful to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.

I've seen many therapists in my life (since childhood) and Belinda is by far the one that stands out as the best. She listens, she cares, she relates, she is approachable (not stuffy and clinical), and she gives practical applications to help you move forward in your life.

Really great
