Virtual Workshops Sarasota FL

Wellness Workshop

Starting this Fall I will be launching a series of monthly virtual workshops. I love being able to connect with more of you online and creating a space where we can learn together. Each month I will cover a new topic, so make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter to stay up to date.

Do you have something specific you want me to cover?
Email me your ideas.

My goal with these virtual workshops is to give more of you access to me and the chance to ask questions. I look forward to our first class together!

Breaking Free from our Attachments to
Anxiety, Worry and Guilt | 95

Many of us struggle with these emotions but don’t know
how to stop the cycle.  What many of us don’t realize is how
harmful these emotions are to our health.

Join me virtually from the comfort of your own home
so we can explore this together.

About Denise

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

In her 30 years working as a registered nurse (RN) within the intensive care unit (ICU), Denise Schonwald cared for patients who were very ill and often in critical condition.  She saw her patients and their families struggling with stress, anxiety, guilt, and fear.  She, too, was affected by this challenging environment.  In order to help her client’s cope, as well as herself, Denise learned various techniques to support mental and emotional well-being.  Her success in striking a balance in treating the whole person led her to her calling as a spiritually based licensed mental health counselor and mental intuitive (LMHC).  By integrating mental health and physical health into a cohesive treatment plan, Denise provides a holistic approach to her patients. These synergistic treatment methodologies support client healing more effectively than traditional counseling.

Denise has expertise in helping clients through a variety of mental and emotional struggles, including anxiety, depression, panic, marital problems, adolescent behavior issues, family issues, childhood trauma, and more. To assist in her method, she draws upon some rather unconventional sources, including Max, a certified therapy dog, who practiced with her until his passing in June of 2020.  Henry, his spirited successor, is now her partner in practice.  Additional sources of inspiration include physical activity and various forms of meditation, which help relieve stress and provide mental clarity.   Denise personally enjoys competitive tennis and yoga, balancing the physical exercise with meditation, Reiki, and aromatherapy to help integrate physical, mental,  and spiritual well-being.  Understanding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit, Denise helps clients to explore each avenue in to achieve optimum level of health and wellness.

In additional to working with individuals and families, Denise also supports the wider community through speaking engagements and lectures nationwide.  Consider having her speak at your next event and contact her office today.

"I have been going to Denise for almost 2 years. Denise is very attentive and gives sound advice that has been spot on in helping me get my life back on track. She keeps me accountable for my progress and has helped me tremendously. "

"Denise has been my go-to for some time now. I feel a sense of rejuvenation after our sessions and love how she works with the “whole person,” not just focused on feelings but actions and thoughts surrounding specific triggers from trauma. She tells it like it is, which personally, I highly respect in a therapist."

J. W.

"A couple of things that she has helped me with that have been game changers for me are boundaries and self care. I am more at peace with the things that I cannot control in my life and I know that I wouldn't have that peace, nor would I be working towards a better future without Denise's guidance."
