Hello and Welcome…..
Everyone has choices to make in life. Some are harder to make than others. My goal for you is to work together to provide a non-judgmental therapy experience. My name is Denise Mitchell and I have been providing therapy to individuals from age nine to adults for over ten years.
My educational background started at the University of Pittsburgh where I received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education and Counseling. My journey to Maryland encouraged me to take my education a step further. Once I settled in Maryland, I attended Loyola University where I completed the requirements to become a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have been providing therapy in this capacity for four years.
I have a wide array of experience working with adults 18+. My specialty is diverse and includes working with individuals with learning challenges, social skills challenges, anxiety/stress, behavior concerns, trauma/abuse, coping skills, friendship skills, self-esteem/self-confidence, problem-solving and self-harming/suicidal ideations, and grief.
My approach to therapy is to use a variety of modalities such as Person-centered therapy to guide you through steps to resolve problems. Reality therapy to discover choices and options and what is happening in your life now. Cognitive behavior therapy assists with recognizing how your thinking affects your behavior. With these therapeutic styles as the focal point, it is still my practice to select a combination of approaches that best fit the person and their needs. Not one approach fits all. I will tailor therapy to your specific needs.
My style of therapy is to create a warm therapeutic environment where you feel safe, relaxed, and open to begin discussing concerns. The decision to seek therapy can be scary and feel overwhelming. Making this decision together can lessen your apprehension and provide room for change to occur. I provide genuineness, caring, and empathy during my sessions. I encourage us to work together to create a treatment plan that is right for you.
I am looking forward to us working together and enlightening you with a different way of thinking. Don’t worry I will meet you where you are, and we can make the transition together.
Best wishes,
Denise

Denise is a wonderful therapist! She has a calming presence, a really great listener and provides helpful insights to guide me to my better self. Thank you so much for all you’ve helped me with from gaining self confidence, to communicating with family members, my fiancé & friends, managing generational trauma and everything in between. Thank you.

Denise has been a great resource to me during the most difficult times in my life to date. Her constant encouragement and approach to breaking down different situations helped me to come through the light at the end of the tunnel with confidence. She is a great person to talk to with and I’m so grateful we were matched.

Denise and I have been working on this wellness journey since March. At a very dark time she helped me to navigate through a space that at the time I had a hard time moving through. She is professional, caring, and always available to her clients. I am grateful for her.

Denise is very personable and a great listener. I love how our sessions don't feel forced or awkward, but are very organic. She responds in a timely manner and sends messages of encouragement all throughout the week. We have only met for three sessions, but so far, I have enjoyed every session.
