Denise DeNicolo

Most people who reach out to me have been carrying more than they let on, especially after time in a world that doesn't make room for that. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, with a particular focus on military members, veterans, and their families navigating the shift between service and civilian life. As a military veteran myself, I understand how hard it can be to find your footing once the uniform comes off. I also work with LGBTQIA+ clients who are figuring out how to be fully themselves in a world that hasn't always made that easy.

Together, we'll work toward real clarity: understanding what has kept you stuck, building tools that actually fit your life, and finding a version of yourself that feels honest rather than performed. Having lived through the transition out of military life, I bring a genuine understanding of trust, resilience, and the search for identity beyond a role or title, and that shapes how I show up with every client. I go deep on family dynamics and the weight of substance use rather than trying to be everything to everyone, because that is where I can be most useful to you. If you feel caught between who you are and what others expect of you, I think we will work well together.

Your first session with me is low pressure. We'll talk about what brought you here, what has been on your mind, and what you hope changes, and you don't need to have it all figured out before you show up. I'll ask questions, listen closely, and we'll start mapping out what support could look like. If any of this sounds like what you have been needing, I would be glad to hear from you.
