Greetings, I'm Denitra Gaines LPC, NCC. I feel very fortunate to support individuals as they work through life's challenges. I am a fully licensed professional counselor. I provide a safe judgment free zone to explore and process your thoughts and feelings you may not share with anyone else. I encourage gentle confrontation, validation, and support to increase ones self-efficacy and self awareness. I also partner with couples and families to provide therapy and teach effective interpersonal skills training to help improve your relationships.
I enjoy working with women, men, couples and families with a myriad of issues. I have success in helping individuals manage the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, chronic stress management, and life adjustments. Challenging relationship concerns, personal development and self-esteem are additional areas of interest.
I offer an empathetic ear and substantial therapeutic skill set to help you create and discover the best version of yourself. I utilize Trauma focused CBT, and DBT among other techniques which have been proven to help reduce distress, improve interpersonal relationships, and allow individuals manage their moods and thoughts more effectively.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
