am a professional clinical counselor, licensed in Ohio, with over 29 years of experience working with adults, children, and families.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years experience in the mental health field. I specialize in culturally-centered care. Prioritizing patient needs while providing collaborative treatment.
You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.
My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.
Hi, I’m a compassionate and dedicated therapist who's independently licensed in multiple areas with over 14 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and help you move toward the life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Cincinnati
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Cincinnati starts with identity-affirming care. A strong fit may include a therapist who lists experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, transgender care, coming out, family or relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You may also look for training in affirmative therapy, World Professional Association for Transgender Health-informed care, or experience supporting gender-diverse people. The right therapist should bring relevant training and a clear, respectful approach to your specific needs.
Cincinnati has a range of therapy options, but affirming therapists may be easier to find when you consider both in-person and virtual appointments. Local office location may matter if you prefer care near downtown, Clifton, Over-the-Rhine, or another part of the city. Virtual care can also expand your options, especially if you want a therapist who explicitly works with LGBTQIA+ populations. As you compare profiles, review each therapist’s bio for specialty areas, therapeutic approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, check appointment options, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
