Denise Wallis, MSW, RSW

In 2010 I graduated with my masters of social work from the University of Toronto and began working with individuals who are struggling with their mental health. Over the years I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Some of these types of therapy you may be familiar with and others you may not. Together we may determine that one type of therapy or a combination of many different types of therapy is best for you.

During therapy I believe that it is important for you to be well informed about what we are doing and why. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a free phone consultation where discuss how we can work together to get you living the life you want.
