Denise Snyder

Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NY LCSW 046394) with 31 years of professional experience across a range of clinical settings. She has provided services within the mental health system, the school system, an Employee Assistance Program, an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation facility, and the foster care system.

Her clinical work covers many concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, eating disorders, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and assertiveness. She draws on decades of practice to support people facing these challenges.

Denise employs a mix of therapeutic approaches such as solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family systems theory. Central to her practice is meeting people where they are, treating them with respect, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship that makes change possible.

She acknowledges that change can feel uncomfortable. As a professional, a wife, and a mother of two grown children, Denise has encountered situations that pushed her beyond her comfort zone, and she uses that perspective alongside her training to help others navigate similar experiences. She believes each person is the expert in their own story and has strengths that support growth; taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and she offers steady support through that process.

Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking, is an avid reader, and is an animal lover. Denise has two rescue dogs, including a retired greyhound who is now enjoying a comfortable life.
