Very patient, great listener and supporter. Honest and straight forward. Doesn’t let you slide by on things that need to be addressed. Doesn’t defend or excuse your bad behavior

Penny has been the most helpful therapist I have ever had. She listens without judgement. She asks for clarification if she needs to better understand what I’m trying to convey BEFORE she offers her advice/opinion. She has given me multiple tools to try out for managing my anxiety and regularly checks in on how those tools are working for me. I feel extremely comfortable with her and constantly talk about her/my sessions with my nearest and dearest. My family and friends have all seen massive improvements in me since I began therapy; providing these comments unprompted so I know they are legitimate and not just comments to seem supportive. I cannot recommend Penny enough! I honestly don’t think this review has done her justice frankly because I can’t quite articulate the growth I feel she has helped me achieve.
