Great to meet you!

You don't have to have it all figured out to ask for help, and you don't have to to be in crisis to deserve support. I'm DeNeshia, a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families carrying anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, tension in a relationship or family, and more. I'll meet you wherever you are, with no judgement, ever. Whatever you're carrying is valid, and I'd love to hear from you.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with family focused and solution focused techniques, spending less time picking apart what's wrong and more time building tools that work for your life. If anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or family or relationship tension is weighing on you, we'll map out real next steps together. I also work with couples in conflict and new parents facing the shift maternal mental health brings. Sessions with me are warm and conversational, not clinical. We set goals early and check progress often, so you see real movement, not just talk in circles.

What you can expect from me

Your first session with me is really just a conversation. We'll talk through what brought you here, whether that's anxiety, depression, a rough patch in a relationship, or something happening in your family, and start mapping out what support could look like going forward. There's no judgment here. Whatever you're carrying is valid. By the end, you should feel heard, a little lighter, and confident we have a real plan for moving forward together.
