Denise Gallegos, MA, MSW, LICSW

Psychotherapist
WA
Denise Gallegos helps adults across Washington navigate life's most difficult emotional and physical challenges with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for adults and seniors, supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, while helping clients regain stability and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Denise's clinical focus includes trauma, chronic pain and illness, and the emotional impact of major life transitions. She is especially experienced in working with individuals adjusting to later life changes, managing medical or health-related stressors, and coping with sleep disorders such as insomnia. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, along with mindfulness techniques, allowing her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. She also has experience supporting first responders and military/veterans, as well as additional populations. Denise is particularly passionate about working with individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She understands the vulnerability and complexity of this transition and focuses on helping clients rebuild routines, strengthen coping skills, and maintain progress in a supportive outpatient setting. Her work in this area emphasizes stabilization, relapse prevention, and restoring confidence in daily life. With over a decade of clinical experience, Denise brings a thoughtful, grounded presence to therapy. Her style is collaborative and practical, helping clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while fostering resilience and self-awareness. Outside of her clinical work, Denise enjoys reading, sewing, cooking, gardening, and walking at the beach, which helps her stay balanced and connected to the present moment.
