Getting to know Dr. Denise Carballea

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychology, with a strong rehabilitation background and experience working with individuals affected by brain injury, stroke, and other neurological conditions. I work with adults navigating cognitive concerns, mood or anxiety symptoms, and challenges related to health, stress, or major life changes. My clinical approach emphasizes understanding how brain functioning, emotions, and behavior interact, particularly during periods of recovery or adjustment. I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care and tailor treatment to each individual’s needs, strengths, and goals, using evidence-based interventions that support both emotional well-being and daily functioning. I strive to create a supportive, respectful environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help individuals build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, sustainable progress at their own pace.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients can expect a thoughtful, collaborative, and respectful approach to care. I prioritize creating a calm, supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their concerns at their own pace. My style is structured yet flexible. I use evidence-based strategies while tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs, goals, and experiences. Sessions often include psychoeducation, practical skill-building, and space for reflection, with an emphasis on understanding how cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors interact. I value open communication and collaboration, and I encourage clients to be active participants in their care. My goal is to support meaningful progress while helping individuals feel understood, empowered, and supported throughout the process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The process typically begins with an initial session to better understand a client’s concerns, background, and treatment goals. Together, we discuss symptoms, current challenges, and any relevant medical or neurological history. Follow-up sessions are collaborative and individualized. Sessions may involve psychoeducation, practical strategies, and focused discussion of day-to-day concerns, while integrating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors. Treatment is flexible and adjusted over time to support progress and changing needs.
