Denise Mariani-Registered Psychotherapist - Online
Healing from trauma is not just about moving past the memories. It’s about finding safety, connection, and trust in yourself again. Trauma can deeply affect how we relate to our bodies, our relationships, and our sexuality. Many people feel disconnected, ashamed, or fearful when it comes to intimacy, and these struggles can be especially difficult to talk about.
Denise uses a trauma-informed lens in all of her work, ensuring that therapy feels safe, collaborative, and empowering. Together, you will move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring the impact of trauma on your sense of self, your body, and your relationships.
Denise’s goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and reclaim a healthy, fulfilling relationship with intimacy and sexual wellbeing.
Denise also has experience supporting first responders, who face unique challenges due to repeated exposure to trauma. The demands of the job often take a toll on mental health, relationships, and sexual wellness. In your work together, Denise creates a supportive space where you can process your experiences without judgment, strengthen coping strategies, and address the ways trauma may be affecting your personal life and sense of connection.
Whether you are seeking support for trauma, intimacy concerns, or the impact of high-stress work as a first responder, therapy can be a powerful step toward healing. Together, you can worktoward creating safety, resilience, and meaningful change in your life.
Working through trauma or challenges with intimacy? You deserve a safe space to heal.
