Dr. Dena DeSantis

Hello and welcome!

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and substance use.

In addition to my clinical work, I have earned a Veterinary Social Work Certificate and have specialized training and experience supporting individuals through the grief and emotional impact of pet loss. I recognize the profound bond people share with their animals and understand that these losses can be deeply significant and deserving of compassionate support.

Whether you're seeking support through a difficult time, working toward personal growth, or looking to better understand yourself, I would welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel challenging, and I appreciate you being here. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered as you work toward meaningful change.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is tailored to each person's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we'll identify practical strategies while exploring the deeper patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you want.
