I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in marriage and family therapy, healthcare leadership, and higher education. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work and have spent more than 15 years helping individuals, families and communities navigate change, relationships, and life's challenges. I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationships concerns, parenting stress, and the pressures that often come with balancing multiple roles and responsibilities. For clients who desire it, I am also comfortable integrating faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process.
Welcome. I'm Denise!
"I work with adults who are looking to take a holistic approach to managing their mental health".
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in the state of Colorado. I have 30 years of professional work experience in Behavioral Health and Recovery Services treating adults and families with a variety of presenting issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, coping with addictions, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, and career challenges. My experience is varied and across settings as I have provided individual therapy in a community health center, substance use treatment centers, employee assistance programs and mental health services in a hospital setting.
I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.
The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!
I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.
Did you know that everything is working in your favor?! Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes that make everyday life feel heavy? You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Dr. Denise Williams, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and over 14 years of experience in psychiatry. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for teens (12+) and adults through convenient, 100% virtual telehealth visits.
I help clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, grief, and stress. I have a special interest in women's mental health, and I'm deeply honored to work with veterans and their unique experiences.
My background in psychiatric crisis stabilization and correctional mental health taught me to meet every person where they are, with no judgment. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, races, and cultures, because culturally humble, affirming care is essential, not optional.
Hi! I'm a Master's level licensed psychotherapist with almost 40 years of experience. I'm invested in your best outcomes, your emotional growth and success through this process. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, pulling in mindful awareness work for clarity and creative skill-set development. We'll gently explore your family of origin, your current sense of self and related topics. We'll build a therapeutic plan that fits for what you're looking for.
Hello, I'm Christy! With over 18 years of dedicated experience in psychotherapy, I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and the journey toward resilience.
I am a holistic therapist who believes meaningful healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and a compassionate understanding of the experiences that shape us. I was born and raised in Colorado and received my undergraduate education from California State University and Masters of Science from National University in 2019. I bring a trauma-informed, relational, and integrative approach to my work with clients. I specialize in supporting adults navigating childhood trauma and attachment wounds, grief, life transitions, and the process of reconnecting with themselves. My practice also includes specialized support for psychedelic preparation and integration and Colorado’s emerging natural medicine landscape, when appropriate and within my scope of practice. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported as you move toward a life that feels more authentically your own.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!
