Denetra Gary, LCSW
About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina and Maryland. I’ve worked for over 13 years as a social worker. My focus is to help you understand yourself through a strengths-based approach. My goal is to maximize our sessions by building our therapeutic relationship to establish trust and effective communication, so you feel successful and can effectively meet your goals.
My therapeutic mission is to restore the entire family unit. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from emotional pain and trauma. I am skilled in helping those who struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic disorganization, and dysfunction. My overall goal for treatment is to help you get to the root cause of why you feel the way you do and where the pattern began. I am deeply committed to being patient, understanding, flexible, and empathetic so you feel emotionally safe; and I am personally devoted to helping you overcome deep roots that lead to emotional pain.

Denetra is an amazing counselor, she attentively listens and gives great advice and does say it how it is, she definitely cares and is definitely there to help. She was my second counselor and by far surpasses my previous one! I'd definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to continue to work with her!

Denetra has been such a blessing to me. I have had 4 sessions with her and I look forward to the each week. She gives me feedback, encouragement, and assignments that cause me to do the work to grow.

She is very genuine and easy to open up to. She’s shared some of her personal experience that’s relevant and she has helped me in ways that are specific to my needs. She’s opened my eyes to things I wouldn’t have known or considered before. She is helping me to feel better. I appreciate everything she’s doing for me.
