Gulfshore Behavioral Health - Fort Myers, Florida

I have known Dr. DenBoer since 2011 when I was her practicum supervisor during graduate school. Fast forward 10+ years, she now owns a thriving private practice that she is so deserving of! Personally, she is empathetic, responsible, and passionate about helping kids and families. Clinically, her skills, expertise, and professionalism are top notch. Dr. DenBoer and I continue to engage in professional consultation. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking advantage of her expertise in assessment and autism spectrum disorders to provide me guidance from time to time. I highly recommend her and her office, Gulfshore Behavioral Health, for any of your mental health needs!

Dr. DenBoer is an amazing psychologist. She is very kind, caring, and easy to talk to. She is very understanding and knowledgeable especially in regards to autism in adult females. She was able to help get me the correct diagnosis that other doctors missed or misdiagnosed. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking an evaluation.

If there was any quote to be used to describe the team at Gulfshore Behavioral Health, it would be this one. Dr. DenBoer and her team are not just knowledgeable, but wonderful in their care for patients. I have had doctors of all specialties in the past have me feel belittled, and small, but at Gulfshore, they were more than willing to pause a session to walk me through any negative thoughts or anxieties so I can be my best for the rest of the appointment. That mattered a lot to me.

The services I sought out were diagnosis and therapy. I did have extra testing sessions with Dr. Denboer as I would run our time over / tested for accommodations for school, yet she never treated me like a nuisance. Everytime I appeared, she greeted me with a smile and asked how I was doing since we last met. It was clear a safe space was important within the practice for her, and she does her best to keep it that way.

I keep their cards handy and have already recommended not just friends, but people that I've had conversations with in the streets. They are an amazing team and the Lee County area is lucky to have them.

My daughter has been going here for almost 2 years. She absolutely loves Ms Leslie. The whole staff is very professional. Treat patients with respect. Easy to schedule appointments. Deidra is always very helpful when I call. The location is very convenient also. We really recommend this place to friends and family.

Dr. Denboer is the first mental health professional that made me feel fully heard and that my insight into my own life was valued. I appreciate everything she did for me and the kindness of Deidre. I have recommend this office to all of my neurodivergent family and friends. Thank you for giving me the answers I needed.

During my third session, I was made to watch TedTalks & YouTube for over 30 minutes. The doctor barely spoke to me in regards to why I was even in therapy. Then my session wasn’t even an hour. AT THE END of the appointment, she said next time we will work on techniques to help you. I’m in therapy. Every session should be showing me techniques to cope. My mental health was obviously not stable if I was coming to therapy as a last resort. Instead I was threatened to be charged $225. Most expensive YouTube I’ve ever watched.

Same as other review, I watched a Ted talk and answered self questionnaires… doctor is nice but accused me of lying on the tests when I didn’t understand what I was being asked and she wasn’t allowed to give clarification… Strom is nice too but made therapy feel like a chore.

Dr. Denboer is amazing, she has a positive demeanor and makes even the youngest patients feel comfortable very thorough and professional 👏
