Denise Snyder , LCSW

Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 31 years of professional experience. She has served clients in a variety of settings, including the mental health system, the school system, an employee assistance program, an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation facility, and within the foster care system. Throughout her career she has helped people work through stress and anxiety, depression, eating disorders, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and challenges with assertiveness.

Denise integrates several evidence-based models into her work, drawing particularly from solution-focused methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family systems approaches. She places a strong emphasis on meeting people where they are, treating each person with respect, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Acknowledging that change can feel uncomfortable, she brings both clinical training and life experience to support clients - as a professional, a wife, and a mother of two grown children she has navigated transitions and challenges similar to those many people face.

Denise believes clients are the experts of their own stories and works to identify strengths that can help overcome obstacles. Outside of her clinical practice she enjoys kayaking, hiking, and reading, and is an animal lover who shares her life with two rescue dogs, including a retired greyhound. She is not currently accepting new clients.
