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.

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 really listens, has thoughtful responses to my questions and challenges me to put into practice the things we talk about during our sessions.
My first session with penny went better than I expected. I look forward to the progress I will be making with the help of penny. Very insightful, very good listener and helpful in every way.
Penny is wise, and has helped me understand realistic expectations. Her insight is very direct, and a true guide to move forward. Thank you Penny.
Penny helped me organize an unmanageable situation, by using her techniques I was able to reduce my anxiety and worry. I also responded to my adult child in a healthier manner which helped our relationship move in a better direction
Penny is very attentive and helpful for the results I’m seeking.
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.

Penny is a pleasure to speak with. I feel comfortable and it allows me to communicate with her more efficiently.
Penny has been outstanding. She acts as a friend, guide, and teacher to reach the best outcomes. It’s apparent that she genuinely cares about her clients.
