Getting to know Deadra Penny

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and taking the first step toward therapy can be intimidating. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, past experiences, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. As a compassionate mental health counselor, my goal is to help you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I work with adolescents and adults to navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, strengthen emotional wellness, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed interventions, to help you better understand yourself, manage difficult emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and recognize your strengths.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am passionate about supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming, and inclusive mental health care. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, healing from past trauma, coping with grief, managing stress, improving relationships, or pursuing personal growth, I am dedicated to helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose. If you are seeking a compassionate therapist who values authenticity, collaboration, and evidence-based care, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. I am currently under supervision with Emeka Wolfe, LPC, CPCS.
