LPC, 10 years of experience
Hi! I'm Denisa Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Austin, Texas. Originally from Greenville, Mississippi, I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2015 and have extensive experience in crisis management, trauma intervention, and life transitions. Recently, I’ve been working with clients exiting abusive relationships and providing them with the tools to navigate these challenges. My goal is to provide compassionate, empathetic, and eclectic therapy to help clients heal, grow, and find new directions in their lives.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and an exploration of your current situation and past experiences. This session will help me understand your unique challenges and goals, allowing us to create a tailored plan to support your healing and growth.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my extensive experience with crisis management and trauma intervention, gained from working in diverse settings like Travis County Jail and Rock Springs Hospital's Help for Heroes military unit. My eclectic approach, which includes skills in DBT and CBT, allows me to offer compassionate, empathetic, and effective therapy tailored to each client's unique needs. My commitment to supporting clients through their most challenging times makes me a unique and effective therapist.
I am best positioned to serve individuals transitioning out of abusive relationships and those navigating significant life changes. My clients often seek support in overcoming trauma, gaining independence, and rebuilding their lives. They share a common desire for healing, growth, and reclaiming their sense of self. In addition to clients striving to break free from patterns of anxiety, fear, and feeling stuck.
In my practice, I embrace an eclectic treatment approach to provide a warm and personalized experience for each client. By drawing from a variety of therapeutic methods, I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs and goals, ensuring that you receive the most effective and compassionate care possible.

I really have been enjoying my sessions with Denisa. She is very knowledgeable and warm and very good at highlighting trauma. Perfect balance between letting me speak and controlling the conversation so solutions are being discussed.

Denisa is very open minded and warm and has a very light-hearted therapy style. I feel heard and comfortable talking with her which is a huge thing for me. I will be rebooking with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.
