Floating teal rock or crystal / geode

Denise Gulotta, LCSW

I graduated from University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Psychology in May 2000. I then earned my Masters of Social Work from Loyola University in Chicago in 2002. I was a school social worker for 15 years before starting in group practice in 2017. For two years at the practice, I had the opportunity to be a site supervisor. In 2022, I decided to continue my professional growth and started InnerBloom!  

I decided to become a child therapist when I was in high school and had so many experiences working with children in various settings.  

One of my favorite things to do is spend quality time with my family and friends. The connections I have with them are so important and meaningful to me. I enjoy taking mindful walks, exploring different neighborhoods in Chicago and attending concerts. At home, I like watching back-to-back episodes of the newest series I’m obsessed with. I absolutely love reading on my kindle before bed and listening to audio books in the car. I enjoy traveling; exploring, learning about different cultures, traditions, and trying local foods. My creative outlets include participating in art or candle making classes. One fun fact about me is that I used to do makeup for weddings. My newest passion is taking care of my growing collection of plants. Watching my plants and clients bloom brings joy to my life.
