Meet Dallin
Dallin Parkinson, LMFT
Dallin Parkinson, LMFT
I'm Dallin. I love my kids, I love my wife, and I try to be a better person every day. I enjoy biking, reading, hiking, kayaking and camping. I've lived in California, Utah, Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia.
I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people create the life they really want. This is most likely to happen when you confront the anxiety, trauma, and negative beliefs about yourself that are holding you back. Together, we will work to identify what really matters to you, help you push beyond your challenges, and help you create a fulfilling life.
I specialize in working with college students, young professionals, newer parents and teenagers. I think it's important to have a good fit with your therapist, so feel free to reach out for a free consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you.

Frequently asked questions
How can I know if I should see a therapist?
Have you been stuck in anxiety or fear? Are things falling apart because you are struggling to make some key changes in your life? Are key relationships in your life crumbling and you feel powerless to do anything about it?
Therapy would often help in situations like these. Try it out and see if someone is able to help you.
How should I choose a mental health counselor?
Read about several therapists. Does it feel like some might be good fits? Reach out to them and set up a consultation or try out a few sessions. It is important to have a good fit with a therapist, so feel free to decide that a certain therapist is not a good match for you, and try out another one.
How will I communicate with my therapist?
For sessions, we will use HIPAA-compliant video calls. For other communication, I offer a secure messaging system, and can also use text or email, which are less secure.
How many sessions do I need to get results?
It really depends on what needs to be addressed. For many clients, eight to ten sessions can be extremely productive. For some milder issues, three to five session may be enough. For more complicated situations, twenty sessions may be more realistic.
Regardless, most people notice improvement within the first several sessions. If you don't, bring it up! Sometimes that discussion is exactly what helps therapy be more helpful.
What kind of therapy approaches do you offer?
EMDR, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Marriage Therapy. Let me know what you would like to accomplish, and I'll tell you if that's something I can typically help with.
