She told me not what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear. I really appreciated her ability to tell me what’s up while still being empathetic.

Ever since starting having my sessions with Penny she has been able to open my eyes and mind in many ways! I tell her how i feel or what it is i’m going through and she helps me and works with me to find a solution to the situation. She’s very understanding and straightforward and i feel that’s something i needed in order for me to understand and better myself mentally. I’ve felt so much better ever since talking to her and i’m very fortunate to have gotten her as my therapist!!
