My son said he reached out to her numerous times and she never replied, which is disappointing because she seems like the right kind of therapist for him. read more

i reached out for couple's sessions. she responded almost immediately. i so appreciated the care taken to respond despite us not being able to financially work her rate into our budget at this time. would definitely recommend her based on her almost immediate response. it displays to me a high level of professionalism and care. read more

Contacted this provider several times in several different ways over the last month and I was never contacted. Update: I've never received anything from you and nothing here states you're not accepting new clients not even your voicemail but thank you for responding to this review. read more

This review is wellllllll overdue! I've been in therapy for 6 years but I stumbled upon Denise back in November 2021. I looked at 2 sites & saw her on both, one site said she wasn't accepting client but I jst knew she was the one. Long story short, she accepted me as a patient & I am forever grateful of her!! Our first visit, she made me feel so comfortable, like I was visiting an aunt who didn't take no shit but in a good way! She was jst wht I needed! I ended up ditching my group therapy sessions & seeing Denise 2 times a week... we've done 1 on 1s, EMDR, and even couples therapy. She actually saved my relationship & we are now married. Denise is God sent!! She doesn't judge, which was a HUGE deal for me. Although she is a therapist & this is her career, she doesn't make you feel as though you are just another patient to her. She genuinely cares for her patients mental health. I dnt knw how many times, I've sat across frm her crying my eyes out & even though she wasn't hugging me, I felt as though she was. She has truly become my safe haven. She greets you with smiles and not the usual therapist greeting. Her office is welcoming. Her energy is peaceful. She's overall the best!!! When I first started seeing her, I was broken, lost, hurt ... I was literally at the lowest I had ever been and she saved me. I now have boundaries, I make time for ME, better communication skills, I have confidence tht I didn't have before, MY SKIN IS CLEAR!!!, I've been able to mend relationships and even forgive ppl tht I swore I'd NEVER speak to again! Thank you Denise! You're never getting rid of me read more

Therapy in general is not always an easy thing to start. After searching for months for the right therapist, I was lucky enough to stumble across Denise - after 17 cold emails to potential therapists, Denise was the only one who responded to me (to this day) and I am beyond lucky that was the case. Our first few sessions were groundbreaking and for the first time, I felt heard and seen and didn't feel lectured to as I had felt with other therapists. Denise helped me overcome my social anxieties and past trauma at my own pace and helped me every step of the way to find tools that worked in my everyday life. In the past year and a half, I have learned things about myself I never knew before and have come to be proud of who I am and my accomplishments. The biggest thing for me is that she listened and remembered things we had spoke about weeks and months prior, that I may have forgotten myself. Every session I felt cared for, and felt that my feelings and emotions were important especially in that moment. If you are looking for a space to be heard, share your struggles or pain, seek guidance, better understand yourself, or grow in any way, working with Denise is the perfect place to start. read more

If you are ready to put in the work then Denise is the therapist for you! I have been seeing Denise for over 5 months and my growth has been exponential. I feel heard. I feel guided. And most of all I feel understood. I have had 5 therapists in my life time and Denise is by far the best. I will continue on with this journey with Denise in hopes of reaching my full potential. I was on the wait list for 3 months to see Denise and it was well worth the wait. So if she is full, GET ON THE WAIT LIST! read more

Denise was my very first therapist and I am so, so glad that I found her. She helped me build my confidence, reassured me when I doubted myself, and taught me many valuable lessons. Denise is very easy to talk to and genuinely wants to see you win. Thanks Denise! read more

We are so thankful for Denise and her help with our relationship! We were in a bad place when we started therapy and she guided us through our issues. We now have better communication and deeper trust. We are also feeling confident about co-parenting in a blended family. Denise was able to understand and relate to our experiences individually and together. She is amazing and we would highly recommend her services. read more

Because my insurance company, Kaiser, is unable to search for therapists by race, I had to search for a black, queer-affirming therapist on my own. I found Denise on TherapyforBlackGirls.com and I am so glad I did! Denise was immediately proactive and responsive, which I really appreciated. Our sessions have all been virtual because of COVID, but that has not stopped me from seeing just how great a therapist Denise is. In just a few months, I've grown and progressed in so many areas. I have much more clarity in my life and relationships. It's amazing what can change when you have a therapist who truly sees what you're going through and knows how to help you grow. Everyone could benefit from a therapist as capable and understanding as Denise! read more

I found Denise Brady through the Therapy for Black Girls website a few months ago and I am so glad that I did. Denise is approachable, attentive, and really strives to help you work through whatever it is that you are going through. I was nervous about having to meet virtually, but the appointments have been amazing. Denise has given me space to be introspective and break down some walls and work through pain I have been holding in. At the same time she asks questions that push me to think differently about myself and how I am interacting with the world around me. I have appreciated being able to work with her over the past few months and have already seen growth in myself. I would highly recommend seeking out her services. read more

I had been search for a counselor for over two years. After searching for a few months I found Dr.Brady. I had a lot of past trauma both generational and personal. During our first session I felt lighter than I had felt in years. We were able to shift pain that I held onto for years in one session. Dr. Brady has provided a safe and judgement free atmosphere. So grateful that I found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to grow past trauma, anxiety and low self esteem. read more

Furthermore, which I failed to mention previously. I called Brady and requested a break from her sessions because they were so stressful for me I always ended up distressed and crying and I disclosed that I was already having counseling having had been a victim of a life-threatening violent crime earlier in the year. Her response to my need for just a break lacked compassion and was barely professional. After learning of my fragile situation, which I really shouldn't have told her because obviously she could not have cared less, she then went on to accuse me of "not being willing" to finish and being "difficult" to a judge in an effort to help the other party who again, was paying her directly and not through insurance. She disclosed to me about private conversations had between the two and things they'd discussed which I believed to be inappropriate and petty. She also kept in contact with his attorney who also furnished her letter to our judge and used it to paint me in a negative light. I am and have ALWAYS been a single mother and don't have the availability a single "childless" man has yet Brady attempted to belittle me over several occasions due to my time limitations being a full time stay at home mom but acknowledged constantly his "busy" schedule. Mind you these sessions were an hour! My child was 3 at the time and if any of you know, you're not having a private conversation for an hour with ANYONE if it is just you and your child home. (And these were awful awful conversations you pray a child never hears) The lack of understanding or grace or just any kind of kindness from this Black woman was out of this world. I got to experience being in her "care" as someone not paying her and boy was it rough. But God bless her heart! read more

Denise has been assisting me in changing my life for the better since the first conversation we had together. I'd tried several therapists before and almost gave up, and I'm so glad I didn't. Denise really hears you and asks great question's that help you realize and come to conclusions on your own. I'm grateful for the relationship that has been made. read more

I was searching for therapy on Psychology Today and Dr. Brady was the first person to respond to me. I'm so thankful for this because she has been amazing. She is super easy to talk to and I always leave our sessions with more mental clarity. Dr. Brady knows how to put things into perspective for you to help make it make sense and to help process. With her help, I've been able to gain insight into my life and have been able to begin my healing journey. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a therapist. read more

She's amazing! I was looking specifically for a black female therapist. My insurance Kaiser was like "here are some websites, people good luck with that". I researched on my own and discovered Denise. She is just what I needed. She challenges me in a good way, she's always kind and compassionate. She doesn't judge me and reminds me that its ok to be right where I am sometimes. She pays attention and she's mindful of where I am in my journey. I would recommend her and have to those in my community and broadly. read more

I searched on therapy for black girls for someone that would take my insurance. Denise was the first one to respond that had availability. I also loved her description because she seemed to specialize in things that I needed help with. I have Kaiser and was having problems getting her approved, but she walked me through the process. My therapy has been great with her. She is kind and compassionate but also challenges me when I need it. read more

I found Denise Brady when I was looking on the Psychology Today website for a Black/African American therapist that accepts Kaiser. Immediately, she was very responsive and pro-active about scheduling the appointment, which I really appreciated. I've enjoyed working with Denise for several reasons: she extends empathy and validates my feelings; she is skilled in untangling complex emotions; she assigns assignments that are attainable, and shes has a great sense of humor. It was really important for me to find a therapist who could provide a safe space for me to grow and challenge myself. I highly recommend Denise for therapy and have already recommended her to my family and friends. read more

During my research on Therapy For Black Girls, I found Denise just at the start of COVID 19. The timing was great but finding Denise was even greater. She is attentive, responsive and real. There are so many things you can discover when working with Denise. Highly recommend!! read more

I've had several therapists and I can honestly say that Denise does a great job at creating a space to where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and feelings regarding whatever issue you are seeking help getting through. If you looking for a pure professional, she's the one you need. read more

I am so greatful that i have found a WOC therapist. I honestly thought video therapy was going to be awkward but Ms Brady makes me feel very comfortable and welcome. read more

I'm happy I made the decision to start talking to a therapist! But better yet happy to find Denise! She allows me to express how I feel with out any discomfort, she's a great listener and has found ways to make me think about things in a whole new light! I will continue to do sessions :) read more

If I could give her 10/10 I would. Very easy to talk too. Highly recommended for first time therapy goers.
