Getting to know Denise Ryals

Hello, I'm Denise, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience serving military personnel and their families. As a veteran's wife of 36½ years, I deeply understand both the visible and invisible challenges that come with military life. In my work, I've helped countless individuals and couples navigate stress, trauma, transitions, and relational struggles by equipping them with practical coping strategies and compassionate support. My approach combines clinical expertise with heartfelt understanding, creating a safe space where healing begins and hope is restored.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
