Getting to know Scotia Penoyer

Hi there, I'm Scotia! My name is Scotia Penoyer, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Chicago, IL. I hold a Master's in Social Work and a Master's in Public Health from the University of Illinois Chicago. I have experience working with families, individuals, and those struggling with substance use, as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I approach therapy as a supportive and encouraging space for people to explore any issues they may be facing. In my free time, I love exploring the city and hanging out with my two cats. My approach I use an eclectic approach, generally drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to find the best fit for each client. I work collaboratively with clients to create measurable and attainable therapy goals and support progress in every session. My focus My therapeutic approach fits best with adults and teenagers. I am familiar with supporting clients who struggle with anxiety, substance use, depression, and trauma. My communication style In sessions, I strive to create a supportive and inviting environment. I maintain a communication style that is calm, open, and understanding. My goals for you I view goal setting as a collaborative process. I aim to help clients identify their goals and provide tools to achieve their desired outcomes. My first session with you During our first session, you can expect questions about what you've been experiencing recently and what you hope to gain from our time together. I ask questions to get to know you better and explain my process clearly.
