Denetria is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas

Hi there, I'm Denetria, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Who is passionate about assisting others to become as healthy mentally and emotionally as they can. I am based in San Antonio, TX. I am Trauma-Focused trained and in Prolonged Exposure. However, I use treatment modalities that fit the need of each client. I became a therapist after therapy changed my life. I have been a therapist since 2006, and I love every single interaction with each client. I enjoy helping others become the best person they can be. The first session is always used to begin the relationship-building process, simultaneously while I discover what your therapeutic needs are in the initial phase. Please know that each individual is different, so each session looks different with the same goals in mind. Therapy is not a one size fit all modality.
