I have worked in school and home settings to offer individual or family sessions. I also offer professional parenting sessions to parents of children and teenagers.

Denise has been God sent since I started therapy with her. She digs in deep in your situation and tries to make you open up to find the peace you need. She checks up on me and makes me do work for the next therapy so you can find relief in any situation that causes pain in my life. I have been a working progress in all that I have been through, but I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am so glad I met Ms. Billings and I would recommend her 100%. I started therapy to treat my anxiety issues, childhood trauma, and depression symptoms. While I still am in progress, I have been able to regulate my emotions better than I used to and objectify my situation thanks to my weekly sessions with Ms. Billings. I took a short break due to exhaustion a few months ago without notice and I felt very bad but when I came back she welcomed me back with open arms and told me it was good to see me. I felt so lucky to have her as my therapist. She is absolutely charming and I love talking to her. She makes me want to be a better person. I am looking forward to future sessions with her and I am sure everyone would feel that way!

Having been to therapy before I was really hoping for a good, positive and helpful matchup therapist wise. Denise has been above and beyond any expectations I could’ve hoped for. She has been by far the best therapist I’ve ever met with and leads our sessions with an open ear and evidence based practices that have truly helped me navigate my marriage and family better. If only more therapist were like her more people would engage and benefit from therapy!

I've been working with Denise for a few months now and I can't recommend her enough.
Her professionalism, her positive attitude and listening ear have helped and encouraged me to become the best version of myself and to let go of all the burdens I had been carrying on for way too long.
Before starting therapy, I always felt guilty or anxious about starting the healing process but I am extremely grateful that I have been able to work with Denise and that she forever changed the way I looked at myself and therapy as a whole.
She is remarkable!
