Denise Tordella provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals in the Washington, DC area. She offers case consultation to individual therapists related to trauma, dissociation, self-harming behaviors and substance abuse, as well as training for the staff at substance abuse treatment programs, domestic violence shelters and transitional housing programs.


Denise wanted to convert her old static HTML website to a mobile-responsive website while retaining the basic design that had served her so well for many years. We changed the header image to fit the current large screen sizes, moved the side navigation menu to a horizontal menu bar, and built the new site with WordPress.
Site Features
- A peaceful tropical beach image located at the top of every page creates a sense of calm as site visitors browse through the website.
- A sidebar features news-worthy items.
- Calendar of upcoming workshops, public appearances and events.
