I am a psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I have an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies. I have interest in Lacanian Psychoanalysis. I am also interested studying gender identity issues.
People come to therapy for various reasons such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anorexia, bulimia, sadness, gender identity, depression, post-natal depression, panic attacks, social anxiety, emotional abuse and many others.
Perhaps you are struggling understanding why you feel the way you do. You may wish to explore how you got where you are now in order to find your own solutions.
My approach is Psychodynamic psychotherapy oriented. You are invited to speak about yourself at your own pace in a non-judgemental, and safe space.
I look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Denise Alves Froede. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Denise has been incredibly patient and gentle with me. She has allowed me to develop a trusting environment where I feel safe to confront my demons. Thanks to her, I have started the process of self-forgiveness and am beginning my journey to heal from patterns that have trapped me for so long. I am grateful for her understanding and support, and I no longer fear being misunderstood or patronized.

Denise is great and I like that we are not having just a chat.
I get that some people need this, but at some point, I need to be able to identify and understand my flaws so I can improve.
Denise offers this.

Thoughtful therapist. It is the first I am conducting therapy, so Inhave no reference. I personally enjoy the sessions, because she triggers me to think about myself in a different way. I feel supported.

Denise went straight to the core of the issues I have been grappling with and helped me make sense and find a way to make peace with them from the first session. No beating about the bush, extremely effective. Cannot recommend her enough.
