Helping You Build Bridges from Pain to Purpose
Because healing starts with connection
Hello There
I'm Denise McKnight, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I’m the founder of Building Bridges Counseling Services. Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career decision — it’s my calling. I’ve always been drawn to helping people heal, grow, and step into the fullness of who they truly are. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, breaking generational curses, overcoming imposter syndrome, and workplace microaggressions. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with a holistic perspective that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Building Bridges Counseling Services aims to revolutionize mental health services by blending traditional therapy with innovative, holistic approaches. Our mission is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives by providing personalized, accessible, and dynamic mental health support. We envision creating a welcoming environment where clients feel heard, understood, and motivated to thrive.
