Getting to know Lisa Penny
I provide therapy that's real focus and grounded in results my styles, direct, compassionate and collaborative. I don't believe in dragging things out when you're ready for change together we get to the root of what's going on untangle what's holding you back and work towards meaningful relief whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, chronic pain or major life changes. We build a plan that fits your life and your desired pace. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with hypnotherapy which allows deeper transformation by helping you shift, old narratives and lasting new patterns
I offer short term and ongoing therapy as well as specialized services like surgical evaluations, ESA letters and support for grief recovery and ADHD.
Clients describe me as nurturing no nonsense and deeply intuitive. I see your strength even when you can't yet and I'll help you reclaim it. If you're looking for a therapist it truly shows up and walks alongside you while encouraging real progress I'd be honored to connect.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
In first session we will start with a conversation no pressure no judgment I'll ask questions to understand what's bringing you in, what's not working and what you're hoping for you'll also get a sense of my style so we can decide whether it feels like a good fit.
In the initial phase (the first few sessions) will identify key areas to focus on whether it's anxiety, grief, trauma relationship, chronic pain, or life transitions. I offered tools right away to help you feel some relief while we also explore your deeper patterns at your pace for ongoing sessions.
Our work is active and collaborative. I use a mix of talk therapy hypnosis (if desired) and practical strategies to help you move forward I check in regularly to make sure therapy stays helpful aligned with your goals. You don't have to have it all figured out just to be willing to show and then you're taking a break. Some clients come in short term, others long-term either way we talk openly when it feels right to wrap up our shift direction therapy should feel like a support not a burden.
