Penny is a PHENOMENAL therapist. This was only our first session, but she was very open and easy to talk to. She also did not speak down to me, which has been a problem with past therapists of mine. She was excited to talk to me and very positive throughout our entire interaction. She is patient and very understanding. I will be seeing her weekly! I would HIGHLY recommend her if you’re in the market for a new therapist, regardless of whether you’ve done therapy your whole life, or this is your first time. Thank you Penny!
