Denise Aguilar, MA, LPC-Associate

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As an LPC-Associate, I work with teens through older adults, offering a supportive, personalized approach to help clients manage anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Drawing from years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported in their growth.

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

I specialize in working with concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues.

My therapeutic approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I believe effective counseling meets clients where they are, so I tailor techniques to fit each individual’s goals, strengths, and lived experiences. Whether we are identifying thought patterns, building practical coping strategies, or reshaping personal narratives, my focus is on empowering clients and fostering meaningful, sustainable change.
