Penny is a straight to point, detail oriented therapist who says it like it is. There is no fluff, but actual substance. She has a succinct way of focusing in on getting to the root of the issue, and manages to keep all the info in line to help organize thoughts and make progress. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling to understand their situation and make a change.

I am a behavioral health therapist with 30 years of experience. I am currently in private practice but prior worked in both hospital and treatment program settings. My undergraduate and graduate degrees were obtained up north in N.Y. and CT. I am proficient with clients struggling with depression, anxiety and stress management, relationship issues and family reintegration. I have experience with substance abuse and addiction using a 12 step format. I have some experience dealing with trauma and PTSD, and anger management. I utilize a combination of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused and psychodynamic therapies.

I consider myself compassionate, non-judgemental and a good listener and use user-friendly language, I am a facilitator, collaborator and do not mandate or dictate. My therapeutic goal is to help clients find harmony and peace in their lives.

Come join me to work on your challenges and struggles.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Penny and I have only had one visit so far, I felt very comfortable with her on this visit. My upcoming visits will be more helpful when writing a review. Right now, I can't wait to talk to her again so for me, that's a good sign! She seems like a good fit for me so far, but as I stated, we've only had one visit together.
