What to Expect

A place to set down what you've been carrying

Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your body, never past it. We work with the whole of you — thoughts, emotions, and the physical imprint stress and trauma leave behind. The goal isn't to relive the hard things, but to help your system feel safe enough to settle.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer clinical mental-health treatment to clients located in Nevada and Virginia, where I'm licensed. Sessions are held virtually, so you can be somewhere that already feels like yours.

Good to Know

Questions, answered

Where do you offer therapy?

Clinical therapy is available to clients physically located in Nevada and Virginia, the states where I hold licensure. If you're elsewhere, trauma coaching is available nationwide and may be a good fit.

Are sessions in person or virtual?

Sessions are held securely online, so you can join from a space that feels comfortable and private to you.

What's the difference between therapy and coaching?

Therapy is licensed mental-health treatment that can address diagnosable conditions and is limited to NV and VA. Coaching is forward-focused, non-clinical support available anywhere in the country. Learn more about coaching.

Do you take insurance?

Please reach out to confirm current rates and payment options before your first session.

Therapy by Denise

Denise Hooks, MS, LPC — trauma-informed therapy, coaching, veteran evaluations, and birthwork.

Therapy services are available only to clients located in Nevada and Virginia. Trauma coaching is not therapy or mental-health treatment and is available nationwide. Veteran nexus letter services provide independent clinical evaluation for VA disability documentation, are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and guarantee no outcome. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
