Are you stuck in a vicious cycle of stress and anxiety? Tired of perfectionism, pressure, and worry? Feeling like chronic pain has taken over your life? If you’re tired of being on high alert, I’d like to help. I want to help you have new experiences, practice new responses, and reduce your brain's overactive danger signals, so that you feel safer and more in control.
As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) with training in EMDR and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), I'm here to help you better understand your brain, have more agency over your nervous system, and build skills for lasting change.
I know how devastating chronic symptoms can be- and how easy it can be to get caught up in a spiral of pain, fear, and despair. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I'm here if you'd like to set up a free consultation or you can visit my website to book your first session. Let's work together to get you on a new path!
Call or Niki Penberg now for a free 15 minute consultation - (412) 744-8304
