Denise Farris

My communication style

I am open, honest, and direct. I will meet you where you are at. I do like to use humor when possible. I love it when clients are curious and ask questions.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a first responder, I had to determine immediately if the problem was mental or medical. This led me to be more curious about the therapy aspects of caring for each other. I learned a lot about trauma when it happens and have seen the results it can have on individuals, their lives, and their relationships.

My goals for you

I approach therapy by meeting clients exactly where they are, offering compassionate, trauma-informed care tailored to each person’s unique experiences. If possible, I provide some coping skills from the first day we meet, and throughout the process, I utilize a holistic approach and treat the whole person.

Our first session

Your first session with me will be getting to know each other. I will tell you some about myself and then learn a lot about you. I'll try to answer any questions you may have and will do a surface review of what brought you to therapy and begin finding ways that we can work together and that I can help you achieve your goals.
