Psychologist
Denese Psychology
New York, New York
I am a psychologist in New York and Massachusetts with about a decade of clinical experience. I earned my Ph.D. at Columbia University and am currently an Instructor in Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. As one of the only licensed psychologists on the East Coast that is South Asian and Muslim, I am passionate about providing a safe space for those looking for a skilled provider who understands their unique cultural values and life experiences.
As a child of Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants who was raised in Queens, New York City, I understand how uncomfortable it may feel to discuss mental health challenges with family, neighbors, or the general community. If you have tried communicating your feelings, you may have been told, "What will people say?" or "Just pray" and felt unsafe to share further.
If you identify as Muslim and are looking for a therapist who "gets it" and can provide a culturally competent and non-judgmental space to process life experiences, please don't hesitate to reach out! I am proud of you for breaking through cultural stigma and making your mental health a priority.
I have openings for therapy in New York and Massachusetts. Please email: ndenese@denesepsychology.com to schedule a free 15-min consultation today.
