I help people free themselves from the wrath of a harsh inner critic, get unstuck from unhealthy situations, and start living instead of just surviving. If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment through the therapeutic relationship we create.
I interweave interpersonal neurobiology with somatic-based and experiential interventions to help you learn to identify your emotions, increase your ability to feel difficult feelings, identify how your thoughts are connected to your feelings, and how they both inform your actions. I enjoy working with couples and individuals who want a richer emotional life
I am accepting, easy-going, and nurturing. Compassion, warmth and humor define my work. I invite you to experience a new depth of personal insight, emotional fulfillment and joy. I am looking forward to helping you know yourself in a new way, I offer a free 20 minute consultation so you can experience how I work and ask me any questions you might have.
Call or Hellen Pennell now for a free 15 minute consultation - (512) 764-1221
