Getting to know Tameko Penny

Hi! I'm Tameko, and it's so wonderful to meet you. It's likely that if you're here reading my page, you have found yourself struggling to experience the life you desire. I can help you with that-whether it's rooted in a lack of motivation to set and follow through with goals, a limited mindset that contributes to feeling stuck, ongoing mental health symptoms that have been difficult to manage, unresolved traumas or adverse life events, or feeling generally disconnected from yourself and the world. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and a Bachelor's degree from Springfield College, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. Let's get started addressing and eradicating the barriers to living a more pleasurable, functional, and fulfilling existence.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My role is to help you increase your capacity for change by navigating various stressors, resolving interpersonal issue, improving communication and self expression, enhancing self esteem and self image, managing various mental health symptoms, and developing a deeper understanding about how your brain functions in order to optimize your innate abilities.

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.
