Denese Walters Henderson, LMFT — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Denese!

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and personality challenges. My approach is holistic and non-judgmental, drawing on your strengths and beliefs to support meaningful change.

My focus

I specialize in trauma, empowerment, substance abuse, and borderline personality disorder. I also work with anxiety and depression. I provide individual, couples, family, and marital therapy, adapting my approach to fit diverse populations and life experiences.

My approach

I meet you where you are, utilizing a holistic approach that honors your strengths and spiritual beliefs. I look beyond words to understand what you're experiencing and create a safe, non-judgmental space. My eclectic techniques are tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

I value direct, honest conversations where we exchange ideas and information openly. I use talk therapy, writing, and collaboration to help you feel heard. Finding the right fit is critical—if we're not a match, I'll help you find a therapist who is.

My journey to mental healthcare

Providing therapy is my calling and purpose. This isn't just a job for me—it's a rewarding career that allows me to walk alongside people during their most challenging moments and celebrate their growth.

My goals for you

Goal setting is client-centered. You share what you want from therapy, and I listen. If helpful, I offer suggestions based on what you've told me, but your goals guide our work together.

Our first session

The first session is an intake to gather necessary information. Over the next few sessions, we'll establish our therapeutic relationship, getting to know each other's communication styles, likes, and dislikes. Building trust is essential.
