Getting to know Denise Harlan
Welcome! My name is Denise Harlan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My style includes being a compassionate psychotherapist and I offer virtual counseling services through Attend Therapy. I completed my master’s degree in social work from San Francisco State University and I have gained expertise in various therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian Theory, and support and strength based theories
I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and honestly. Accordingly, I provide a solution focused personalized treatment plan tailored to meet your needs and goals.
I address various issues like trauma, depression, and anxiety and help clients develop practical coping skills. I guide you on your mental health journey and empower you to work toward your personal growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
If you're wrestling with persistent worry, past trauma, or the weight of anxiety and depression, I'm here to provide direct and compassionate support.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, catering to individuals from all backgrounds. I understand reaching out for help can be challenging, but I assure you that this will be a safe space for your healing journey.
Whether you've experienced childhood abuse, neglect, sexual trauma, or are struggling with anxiety and depression, I'm here to help you navigate these challenges. Our therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques, are tailored to your unique needs.
Let's focus on your well-being together. If you're ready to take the next step, reach out. I'm here to support you on your path to healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I build a safe place so that we can find what's not working for you and get you back to a place where your mind, body, and spirit feel at ease. We'll use a mindfulness approach, identify those negative thoughts, and come up with a balanced adaptive thought that can help you feel better.
I integrate mindfulness and an Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and several other approaches to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the thoughts and habits holding you back.
All of this comes from a strength-based, trauma-informed, culturally informed perspective where we will identify your strengths and your plan to help yourself heal. I'm here to help and understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and scary but you're making the right choice.
