About me

Hey there. I'm Dennis aka Denny Bartsch. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the field for over 15 years. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Strength Based techniques in my practice. I'm a goofy social worker who likes to use a non-confrontational approach to working with my clients. I do believe that you know your story/life better than I ever will so I believe in what you have to say. One thing that makes me pretty different from other service providers is that I saw a need for session times available for clients later in the day and evening so I decided to have my scheduled be from Monday through Friday's from 12:30pm EST to 9pm EST. I hope to accommodate more people this way. I like to use humor and positive support for my client's as we go on this journey together to helping you achieve the goals we identify in session together. My goal is to work towards you having the skills, support, and confidence you need to be successful. I like to think outside of the box when I work with my client's so you just wait and see! Therapy doesn't need to be scary. Let's work together and maybe laugh through some of it. We got this! Together!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will laugh! We will be goofy. You will learn about me and I’ll learn about what you want your journey in treatment to look like. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm experienced working with people who feel that they haven't always been heard by others. Your voice matters to me and your emotions do too. No one knows what it is like to live your life and I will never try to fully put myself in your shoes. You are unique and I respect that. I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, college students, and beyond. I like to make this big scary world a little less intimidating.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Client seeking to better themselves and willing to test out new techniques while allowing a space for possible change.
