Denise Suncin

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Hello and welcome! My name is Denise Alejandra Suncin, and I am an LCSW practising in New York.”

About Me

I offer a warm, confidential space where we can openly explore whatever brings you to therapy. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-understanding, I am here to guide you. We’ll work together to make sense of your experiences, helping you build practical tools for daily life. My aim is to support you in finding clarity and moving forward with confidence.

Approach

Starting from what you bring, I pace sessions to mix gentle curiosity with clear skill‑building so you can notice patterns and try small changes. I work with adults in Brooklyn and online, offering bilingual support in English and Spanish in a private, steady setting that holds space for difficult memories and pressing stress. Sessions balance short‑term tools—thought tracking, grounding, relapse planning—and reflective moments that link behavior to values; between meetings I often suggest simple practices or brief check‑ins to keep momentum. This way of working tends to help people facing anxiety, mood shifts, addiction, or burnout who want practical change and deeper self‑understanding.
