Denese Longsworth

Hi, I’m Denese Longsworth, an Afro-Latina therapist of Dominican heritage. As a bilingual provider fluent in Spanish, I draw upon my lived experiences to bridge gaps in care, helping to alleviate the discomfort often associated with starting therapy while bringing authenticity and warmth to our work together. I entered this field because I truly believe that change is possible; with the right support and community, we can evolve! I have experience supporting clients navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. Through this work, I have developed a deep understanding that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. In our sessions, I prioritize creating individualized treatment plans with tailored goals and techniques to ensure you feel empowered and fully supported throughout your therapeutic journey.

My approach is client-centered, which means I meet you exactly where you are in your healing process. I prioritize your autonomy and self-determination throughout your therapeutic journey, ensuring you feel empowered to lead the way toward your personal goals. I utilize evidence-based frameworks to tailor our work to your unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing.

Our sessions will be a warm and comfortable space for us to work together. I have experience supporting adults, teens, and couples as they navigate complex challenges. I believe that by shifting your perspective and building your resilience, you can find meaningful ways to relieve distress and foster personal growth.
