Penny is the best therapist I have had since starting therapy 25 years ago. Her listening comprehension goes far beyond mirroring words and demonstrates a rare level of understanding, concern, and respect. Written interactions with her convey those same traits, and she replies in a very timely manner. No matter how I communicate with her, she makes me feel heard and valued. Thank you Penny!
