Denise DeBrady

Welcome! I'm Denise DeBrady, LCSW, founder of DeBrady Counseling & Wellness. I work with adults and older adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or facing changes they didn’t expect. My work often focuses on anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, chronic health concerns, caregiving, and the challenges that can come with aging.

With more than 20 years of experience in the helping professions, I provide a warm, practical space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with CBT, strengths-based, and person-centered approaches. We’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building practical strategies for handling difficult experiences. Therapy is collaborative—we’ll focus on what matters most to you and help you move toward a life that feels meaningful and manageable.

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you—not just what brought you to therapy, but what matters to you and what you hope will be different. We’ll talk about what’s been happening, what you’ve already tried, and what you would like to work toward. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, respected, and heard as we begin developing a plan together.
