Hello! My name is Denise Simpson. I don't take lightly that you are reviewing my profile for therapy. This is what I would like to tell you about myself. I see my role as a therapist as a "calling" and not a job. I am passionate about helping others and this has evolved since I was a child. I love people and seeing them find purpose and live an authentic life. I believe we have the answers within ourselves to be our best and sometimes we just need someone to listen, guide, and be curious so we can figure things out. I love to laugh, love my family and friends and embrace each day with gratitude. I have one daughter and two fur babies that I absolutely adore! I love music and believe it can help in the healing journey. I am an "out of the box" kind of person. I have been working in the field of social work for 29 years in various settings. I truly enjoy working with tweens,teens, young adults, women and minority populations.I believe the connection between client and therapist is important and the key for the journey.
A women I was working with connected her upbringing to how she dealt with people as an adult.
Your counseling process with me will be what you make it. I believe people have the answers within themselves and it is not for me to "fix" anyone. I will be curious and present. We will laugh, cry, talk and at times be silent. I want my clients to bring the agenda because it is about your process. I am here to guide and walk beside you during the journey.
The first session is focused on getting to know you and I will share my belief about the power of therapy.
I truly want people to embrace life regardless of what they have been through. One's experiences can also make one stronger. I believe in healing and I believe that life is worth living.
