Getting to know Denise Oja

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) with many years of experience helping others to meet their life goals. My practice is focused on assisting adults facing life transitions, utilizing evidence-based practices to help clients arrive at solutions to address life challenges and changes. My approach I will listen intently to your identified needs, and we will craft an approach together to assist you in meeting your desired goals. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, which is designed to focus on addressing specific concerns, particularly related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. My focus At times, life throws us a "curveball," and we need support in arriving at solutions to move forward. Sometimes it is helpful to have a neutral "third party" to hear us out and help us identify ideas we may not have been able to identify on our own. My focus in treatment is to help you identify methods to address these unexpected changes in order to move forward with joy and contentment. My communication style I provide a supportive, non-judgmental communication style. I feel it is important for you to feel safe in communicating and will provide unconditional support when you share your thoughts and feelings in sessions with me. I also believe it is important to provide honest, transparent feedback to you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started in undergraduate studies in an internship in a community mental health setting; I was drawn to social work graduate studies at the University of Washington, and had the opportunity to further develop skills in an internship at a children's mental health center. My professional journey includes working in a variety of settings, including providing support to survivors of sexual abuse, to aging adults facing disabilities, and to children and families in community mental health settings.
