Denise Peaslee MS ,MEd , LMHC
Denise Peaslee is a licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and first responders. She is the owner of the Greater Lowell Personal Development Center LLC; in Chelmsford, MA , since 2008. The practice provides care to teens and adults with eating challenges and the underlying symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma. She uses a variety of treatment approaches such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Group Therapy, and Value Clarification. In our society our relationship with food can easily become out of balance. Denise works with clients to create a healthy relationship with food so the client can move on to honoring their greater purpose and relationships. Denise believes working in a team consisting of a doctor, a nutritionist, and a therapist is the most effective way to tackle eating challenges. Each client has a unique set of circumstances so the treatment approach should honor that uniqueness. Denise is also a certified EMDR therapist providing a systematic approach to treat trauma. Challenging negative beliefs about yourself and replacing them with positive beliefs can set you free.
About
Sabrina is a licensed Mental Health Counselor serving adolescent and adult clients suffering from a variety of mental health disorders and interpersonal difficulties. Her therapeutic approach is a mixture of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with some Psychodynamic components. She believes in building a strong confident sense of self as an important factor when on the path to healing. When creating therapeutic goals, she incorporates client strengths in addition to cultural and spiritual values to ensure quality treatment that works best for each client. There are different paths to healing and to identity development. Talking to someone in a nonjudgmental and validating environment can help you find yours.
Relationships can be hard.
I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the communication skills and coping skills necessary to improve their quality of life and promote the overall well- being of themself and their family system. I am confidently skilled in fostering a safe and supportive environment that encourages client growth and healing.
I am a compassionate therapist with a knack for facilitating meaningful conversation with a strong background in providing individual, couples, and family based counseling to diverse populations. As a multilingual therapist, I am fluent in Swahili and an expert in Kikuyu. My background has allowed me the opportunity to learn from the strengths of a variety of different cultures and experiences. I bring this experience directly to our counseling sessions.
To my practice I bring a strong background in crisis intervention, trauma informed care, and the use of evidence based practices such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. I encourage clients and families to recognize unhealthy patterns that keep them stuck. Breaking away from these unhelpful patterns can foster freedom to grow and heal.
I look forward to meeting with you to work collaboratively to create a value driven life that brings you joy and purpose.
