About me

***NOTICE...I WILL BE ON VACATION THE WEEK OF 11/2/2020, RETURNING TO THE PLATFORM ON 11/9/2020...THANK YOU!***

I am Dr. Cleveland. I am licensed in Alabama with over 10 years of experience in mental health working as a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in private independent practice (PIP) . I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including bipolar, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, divorce and post-divorce issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, anger management, grief and bereavement, caregiving and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I utilize mindfulness and grounding with many clients. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Denise Cleveland. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Written on Jan 15, 2021 after therapy with Denise for 3 months on issues concerning relationship

Dr. Cleveland is an outstanding therapist with lots of experience that really listens to you and your needs. She works directly with her patients, and in the case of couples counseling, she is very good at remaining neutral and helping walk us towards resolutions. We are very appreciative of her help and recommend her to anyone who needs the help!
