Denise Wallace
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my biography. I am so happy you went with your instinct to start counseling. I have been a Therapist for over 16 years and my specialization is marriage and family therapy. I have over 30 years experience working with people in one capacity or another.
These few noted experiences have led to my capacity to be an empathetic Therapist while helping others achieve their own goals using their own strengths.
I was a substitute teacher at an alternative high school; I was a silver star rescue diver and an EMT-Intermediate; and, I had worked at a psychiatric hospital for people ages 12 through 80 as well in a private psychiatric office. These few noted experiences have led to my capacity to be an empathetic Therapist while helping others achieve their own goals using their own strengths.
First session
Our first session will be getting to know what your goal(s) for therapy will be and how you think talk therapy will help.
Strengths
My biggest strength is being able to empower others. I believe every person has the power and the knowledge of what they need to do to improve their lives. I am here to show you how to do that by communicating with you your needs and together we will come up with a solution.
Ideal clients
I am an interactive Therapist - one in which you will have conversations with and who will have mutual influence in the direction you want to go. I will recognize and understand what you are going through and make unprejudiced observations while helping you get to the root of your problem so we can focus on changes that are needed.
