Denise Fritts, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Denise!

I work with young adult clients, providing support as they navigate challenges and work toward their goals.

My focus

I work with young adult clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, and life transitions that may be impacting their relationships, ability to make decisions, and overall life satisfaction.

My approach

I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based, client-centered approach integrating aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and attachment. I believe the client is the expert on themself and strive to empower clients with insight and coping skills to make more intentional choices.

My communication style

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most effective tool and works to provide clients a safe place to openly communicate about their struggles without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for empowering and supporting others to access their unique skills and build on those to reach their full potential.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients involves collaboratively and clearly defining an observable goal of what they are hoping to gain from therapy.

Our first session

In our first session, clients can expect an initial meeting to get to know each other and begin building a trusting relationship. Based on the client's comfort and pace, we will discuss background information influencing their current state, as well as what they are hoping for from therapy.
