Getting to know Dr. Penelope Asay

Hello, and welcome! It may have taken you a long time to get here, or maybe just one too many sleepless nights. The fact you're here today means something is different from yesterday. You may be ready for something different in your life. A good fit with a therapist is key in supporting and helping you figure out what and how to make the change(s) you want. I'm genuine, collaborative, and transparent. I fundamentally believe that on some level, we are all seeking meaning, connection, and healthy relationships. We are striving to live authentically and find fulfillment and belonging in a society and world that makes all of those things pretty challenging (as if life itself weren't hard enough!). With a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland, I bring expertise and compassion to our work together. Therapy brings our knowledge and experience together to help identify and create what will make your life more satisfying and fulfilling.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is strengths-based and culturally informed. Right away, we identify not just what's going wrong, but build on what's going right (yes, it exists). I help you capitalize on skills and qualities that have helped you so far and to cultivate new ones to help you move forward.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
