“This was my first appointment with Dr. Holmes. She is a great listener and patiently listened to me and gave me referrals for my specific issues. It was a much easier process than other doctors, with no long wait time and feeling limited. I recommend her. ?”

Getting to know Denise Holmes
My name is Denise Holmes, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino. I work with adults and seniors in several specialty areas, including anxiety, depression, medical stress, life adjustments, trauma, goal planning, life transitions, relationships, aging, stress management, and trauma.
My eclectic treatment approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Narrative, and Psychodynamic Theory. My style is empathetic, nonjudgmental, interactive, and collaborative. I aim to develop a relationship of mutual trust, respect, and curiosity where we work together to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and self-limiting behaviors.
Seeking therapy is one of the most courageous acts of self-care and improving one's life. I welcome you into a safe space to work toward a greater sense of well-being.

Friendly, relatable, and takes notes. Listened to my concerns and was able to clarify things I was foggy on. That’s rare.

Denise Holmes is a great therapist. She listens and remembers what you share. She also holds you accountable on what path you decide to take. She offers so many different perspectives that you don’t even consider.

She is a wonderful listener and provides excellent guidance for steps to help you find your center again. It's rare that aa councilor gives feedback on how you should pursue situations, and allow you to feel free to add your input and not just shame you for not going along with their program. I appreciate that about her.
