About

Greetings,
I have a Bachelor's and Master's in Education and a second Master's and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Indiana State University, California State University, and Indiana Pennsylvania University, respectively. My experience has been acquire within Universities, Community Mental Health, Departments of Corrections, Veteran Administration and Charitable 501C3 Organizations. In those settings, I was a Program Director, Psychologist, Adjunct Faculty, Senior Psychologist, and Clinical Recovery Coordinator. My clientele were experiencing varied degrees of mild to severe of disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Schizophrenia, OCD, and a variety of V-code.

My clinical orientation is Transtheoretical or Eclectic. Transtheoretical means I am trained to conceptualize and implement theories and interventions that fit the clients' needs. I am known for being easy to establish a client/therapist rapport, respect and objective.

Deciding to begin therapy can feel as if everything is beyond your control or that you've given up on trying to resolve major concerns in your life. But in actuality it is the opposite, you have chosen to team up with someone to assist you deciding which solutions will work best for you. The best part is the exchange of information between you and the therapist is completely confidential. Thus discussing deep concerns can be shared without guilt, shame or being judged or anyone taking sides.

I look forward to working with you on removing or understanding possible barriers in your life that may be preventing you from living life to its fullest potential.

Dr. Denise M. Batton
