Denise Simpson’s, LCSW, work as a therapist is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we learn to listen inward. Denise supports clients in finding the answers within themselves, and celebrates when clients have "AHA" moments.

Denise uses music, art, expressive writing during therapy sessions. She uses the following therapeutic modalities: Narrative Practice, Psychodynamic, DBT, CBT, Brainspotting, ACT, Somatic Exercises, and Mindfulness. Her treatment is client focused because people require different approaches.
