Denise Rowell, MS

Registered Mental Health Therapist Intern 

Denise Rowell is a Registered Mental health Counselor with a passion for wellness. She graduated with Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences from University of Florida in 1992 and has enjoyed working in the wellness industry for many years. After taking time to raise her family and discovering the benefits of counseling herself, Denise went back to school to earn a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling, graduating in 2019 from Webster University. Denise encourages a holistic “wellness minded” approach to achieve a healthy mental well-being. She believes in exploring and connecting all the realms- our physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual selves. This allows clients to discover new tools and make changes that result in healthy habits that lead to a happier life.

Holistic treatment means “taking into account all factors, rather than just the symptoms of the problem or disease”; instead of simply attempting to alleviate the ailments- fatigue, anger, anxiety, etc- that often come along with mental and emotional struggles, she will address the roots of the disorders that are hijacking your life. Counselor and client together will set goals in session that bring clarity to the mind and incite joy; then by practicing new habits, clients are inspired to take charge and progress from merely surviving to thriving in their life. Denise will explore how current life events, as well as challenging past experiences and traumatic events, can provide opportunity for growth and positive change. She utilizes a variety of experiential interventions, positive psychology, CBT, Neuroscience-based practices and mindfulness techniques to make peace with the past, forgive and let go of limiting beliefs/old stories that don’t serve you. Additionally, she is EMDR certified, holds her 200 hour Yoga Certification and is pursuing training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy).

Denise has experience working with variety of symptoms and populations and enjoys seeing individual clients from adolescence through the elderly to guide and support as you craft the life you want- full of love, joy, and peace.
