Getting to know Gina Pennington

Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious, or unsure what comes next in life, especially after the last year or so? Or maybe you just don’t feel like yourself and aren’t sure why. You are not alone. To have problems means that you are human; but there is hope. I provide a warm, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them and what’s getting in their way. I help clients learn to feel more comfortable with their emotions, experiment with different ways of relating to their thoughts and feelings, cultivate resilience, and develop the self-trust and self-compassion that will support them along their paths. Therapy offers you a place to work on and work out your concerns, to be heard and reflect, and to take some space for yourself. Together, we will explore the underlying reasons for your troubles, what it might mean for you to “feel better,” and begin to live a more productive, meaningful, and engaged life. I use an integrative approach consisting of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Community Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, which informs my commitment to providing evidence-based and compassionate care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to learn how to identify and process their emotions. Also, how to have a different relationship with their thoughts and more compassion for themselves.

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.

Gina was very kind and a good listener. This was our first appointment and I had a lot to tell her, and she never interrupted me while I said what I had to say. Best recommendation, I made another appointment with her. The technology we used for the appointment was easy to use.
