“She is so sweet, kind, and compassionate. I have gone through a couple really bad waves of depresson, anxiety, and triggered PTSD episodes and she has worked with me to just let me cry, reassure me and has been wonderful to work with over the last year”

“Dr Horton is a very knowledgeable therapist. Listens carefully and provide good guidance. Offers lots of resources such as books, classes, links, experiences.”

“Dr. Horton is a consummate professional. Thoughtful, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable. Her expertise and guidance have allowed me to grow and change in a healthy and safe environment. I strongly recommend trying therapy if you think you might need it. I would always recommend it to other people but refused to get help for myself. Once I started having panic attacks, I realized that I needed help. I tried betterhelp even though I have decent medical insurance, we know what a privilege that is in the US. It would have come out the same costs and the fact that I could have the sessions remotely, and still communicate via electronic journals, and direct messages was another factor in my decision. I feel extremely lucky that Dr Horton was the first therapist I was matched with. I know other people that have tried this app and struggled to find the right person. It just takes a little time and effort, it's worth it. I've had friends and family, as well as close coworkers, comment on how my demeanor has improved. The way I communicate with my loved ones and close friends has improved drastically. It wasn't an overnight process. But I was dedicated to making a change to have the life that I deserve; to be healthy, happy, loved, and loving.”

“Knowledgeable, good listener, and shows care.”

“I worked with Denise over a period of about 16 months. This was my first therapy experience and I feel like she was very patient and polite with getting me to open up so we could really dig into the challenges I wanted to address. I greatly appreciated her down to earth, caring approach. We built great rapport during our time working together and she provided tactical actions to implement in my life to help me achieve the goals I set when starting therapy. I would highly recommend her!”

“I really appreciate my sessions with her, would love to find a way to continue to work together - she’s kind thoughtful protective and really resonates with me”

“Dr. Horton has been terrific to work with during couples counseling. Our marriage is stronger and we have seen continuous progress on our goals. Dr. Horton is responsive and supportive throughout the process. We are grateful to have worked with her.”

“Dr Horton comments are both kind and appropriate. Her use of worksheets and journaling are very helpful . For a first time user with lots to unpack she is patient and thorough.”

“Dr horton is.a.caring understanding and helpful therapist.”

“Dr. Horton is a very compassionate and patient psychologist. She offers the reality of the situation you’re currently in, which is very important to me.”

“Dr Horton is pivotal in my mental health. Helping me threw day to day issues and past trauma. I’m happy to have her as my therapist”

“The first session was very comforting. Dr. Horton was very engaged and understanding in what seemed to be my issues.”

“Dr Horton has helped me greatly. Sending me off in the right direction and feeling better after just once session.”

“She is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and able to provide amazing insight on my issues. She listens well and remembers items from previous sessions that she ties in to future insights. Can't say enough how helpful she has been in getting through my problems.”

“Dr. Horton’s professionalism and approach has made a significant impact in my life. Her expert therapy has been an enormous help as I navigated very difficult and sensitive family issues. I would strongly recommend Dr. Horton to anyone who needs support with coping, major life changes, childhood trauma, and addiction. She’s a careful listener and incredibly compassionate. Following each session she provides thoughtful suggestions to continue our work in my daily living and keeps in touch between meetings. Her effectiveness is transformational. I cannot recommend Dr. Horton enough!”
