Intro

Hello there! My name is Denise, and I am a clinical psychotherapist licensed in 4 states. Experience includes contracted on-call crisis clinician, working with detainees in multiple County Jails in Illinois, and as a Career Counselor with the County. My values include providing trustworthy support, integrity, fairness, innovation, unconditional positive regard, and creativity.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Practice of 7+ years working with adults with various neurodivergence and abilities to meet their individual goals. Additionally, 10 years’ experience with Dual Diagnosed adults with social, vocational and communicable difficulties. I use an Eclectic, Existential approach to counseling drawing from the top theories and allowing for a very personal experience.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I provide a therapeutic setting supporting progress toward treatment goals, personal growth, and positive change. The environment provided includes emotional safety, engagement, and communication. I am committed to treat each person with respect and unwavering confidentiality. A person is more than statistics and matched criteria with set responses, so I encourage you to enjoy a comfortable, positive, and exceptionally individual experience.
