Hello! My name is Denise Verchimak and I look forward to working with you! Life can pull us down and sometimes we need a little help to re-balance and get back on track.

I take a cognitive behavioral approach to helping my clients gain personal insight and to make behavioral changes. Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues can interfere with problem solving. Together we can explore options, develop problem solving techniques, and coping mechanisms that will help you feel more in control of your self and your situation. My style is informal and relaxed. Ideal clients are those that are committed to making changes and who are willing to fully participate in the therapeutic relationship.

In-person sessions offered at the Johnstown office. I will continue to offer virtual sessions too! Counseling doesn’t always have to involve diving into deep childhood trauma, though sometimes it does. Counseling can be the place to explore existential themes that we encounter throughout the human experience, such as meaninglessness, loneliness, shame, inauthenticity, and more. It can be the place where we find acceptance and validation that encourages us to take steps to achieve our goals for a more fulfilling existence. My approach focuses on helping you uncover your true self so that you can live your best life on YOUR terms.

I believe one of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand your own story. It can be scary to open up about your experiences, especially to a stranger. I want to break the mental health stigma by creating a safe and comfortable space to talk about your life experiences through providing authenticity, compassion, acceptance and humor! Getting a better understanding of your story and life experiences will help identify what may be keeping you from moving forward and will allow us to work together to get you on the path to living the life you want.

What brings each person to therapy is unique. When you are looking to process or work through a change in your life, it is important to feel a sense of comfort and confidence in a clinician. Grief, loss, family changes, professional changes, relationship challenges, feelings of depression or anxiety are some examples of what might be behind your interest in beginning therapy. It is courageous to take this first step. I will support your individual process in a personalized way, honoring your feelings and journey with unconditional support. One size does not fit all when it comes to therapy or finding the right therapist.

I believe sharing your story is the impetus, the force, that drives the counseling process. Each person brings their own story to the counseling office, a story that is continuing to be molded and shaped by their interactions with the world around them. If you are seeking someone to accompany you through a transition or processing trauma, I would be honored to hear your story.

When we feel stuck with our uncomfortable feelings or overwhelming circumstances, therapy can help us discover options to shift into something new. I strive to help clients identify and meet their needs in a healthier way, set appropriate boundaries, navigate crises without destruction, and feel supported when ending or beginning a relationship, career or life stage. I believe that we are all impacted by our families of origin (and honestly, almost anyone and anything around us), but that doesn’t mean we need to be held hostage by the past OR the present. Your feelings matter. You matter. Let's work together on getting unstuck.

Are you feeling alone or inadequate on this planet of 8 billion humans? Craving love but there's never enough? Are you longing for connection but feeling exhausted by it at the same time? Comparing yourself to the beautiful and "successful" people at work or in the media and falling short? Tired of not being enough? Ugh! I hear you and I get it. Your brain (and mine at times) is a bully tearing you down. It tells you to withdraw from people and stay safe with your pet or porn. But the answer isn't withdrawing or escaping. It all comes back to the relationships you have with yourself and others.
