Denise Hamilton was helpful with a difficult issue I had dealing with the death of an ex husband. She is direct in a gentle way. I appreciated that she would check in between sessions. I recommend Denise for compassion and intelligence.

Starting therapy is a brave step and understanding your own story can be tough, but it’s worth it. My goal is to create a space where you can just be yourself, knowing that all parts of you will be met with compassion, expertise, patience and respect. Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, so I adjust my approach to fit your needs. By blending various therapeutic frameworks, I help you explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, moving towards greater self-understanding and change. My down-to-earth style emphasizes collaboration, safety, and a touch of humor as we work together to navigate challenges and build resilience.
I am a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in Massachusetts and an LCSW in Michigan with 30+ years of professional experience. I have experience in helping clients of varying ages with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self esteem, business coaching and confidence. I work with clients ages 13-90. I am a firm believer in active participation with my clients that fit's their communication and learning style.
I am also uniquely qualified, as a former executive and non profit leader, to coach, support and empower leaders in all industries by providing a personalized approach designed to enhance leadership skills, improve performance, and achieve professional goals.
Taking the first step to seeking a joyful and stress-free life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Reach out and schedule time to meet with me. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
