Great to meet you!

I’m Toia Dennis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in CBT therapy. I work with you to address depression and anxiety by helping you feel safe, supported, and understood. Together, we focus on building practical skills, increasing self-awareness, and creating meaningful changes so you can move toward your goals with greater confidence and balance.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and goal-focused. I specialize in CBT-based therapy to help you manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelming thoughts by building practical coping skills and healthier patterns. Together, we work to understand what’s keeping you stuck and create realistic goals that support meaningful change. I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, empowered, and confident as you move forward.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a warm, supportive space where we’ll talk about what’s been bringing you to therapy and what you hope to change. We’ll begin setting goals and identifying patterns related to anxiety, depression, or stress that may be affecting your life. My aim is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and more hopeful about the path forward.
