Meet the Team
As the founder of SpireTHERAPY’S Children & Family Institute, I have trained our therapists in the SpireTHERAPY way, so each Therapist here can and will support and guide your child, adolescent or teen who is struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and ADHD, on their journey towards their best selves!

Denise Santangelo
FOUNDER & LEAD CLINICIAN
I specialize in mental health care across the lifespan, working with children struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum challenges, and social anxiety. I also provide therapy for adults of all genders, with a focus on Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, executive functioning, organization, impulse control, and mood disorders. I am a Certified ADHD Counselor and I have specialized training in women’s mental health, supporting those navigating hormonal transitions such as PMDD, perimenopause, postmenopause, and postpartum, as well as anxiety and depression related (or unrelated) to these changes. Additionally, I integrate nutrition and healthy sleep routines to support overall mental and emotional well-being.
