Denise Waterfield is a dual-certified nurse practitioner specializing in adult gerontology acute care and psychiatry and mental health. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, conducts symptom management research, and serves as an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing.
Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences they’ve carried for far too long. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds, or the lingering impact of trauma. Others are navigating life transitions, loss, or changes in identity that leave them uncertain about their next steps. At the core, most are seeking relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of themselves. They want to feel more regulated, more confident, and more capable of moving through daily life without being held back by old patterns or emotional pain.
I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 26 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I currently offer telehealth sessions. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, always tailoring my approach to best support you.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I am a licensed clinical practitioner dedicated to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I practice with a deep commitment to cultural humility. I understand that your identity, background, and unique lived experiences shape how you navigate the world, and I welcome all aspects of who you are into our therapeutic space. My approach is entirely tailored to you as an individual, focusing on your unique strengths, values, and needs.
