Hello, I'm Penny Rose Sullenger, a Licensed Marriage-Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience helping individuals and families. If you're reading this, you've decided that you or your child may need assistance. I'm here to provide the support and guidance to help you reach your goals.
My approach
My therapeutic approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, psychodynamic theory, and solution-focused methods. I tailor my approach to best fit the unique needs and goals of each client I work with.
My focus
I specialize in working with people ages 12 and up to young adults in high school and early college. I have experience assisting young people struggling with anxiety, depression, gender identity, school/social issues, autism spectrum disorders, behavioral challenges, and more.
My communication style
I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable openly sharing your thoughts and feelings. I'll listen intently to understand your perspective while offering insights and practical strategies to help you cope with life's struggles and make positive changes.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts degree in psychology from Pepperdine University. My passion for helping others led me to pursue a career in mental healthcare, where I can make a meaningful difference in people's lives by providing the support and tools they need to thrive.
My goals for you
Through our work together, my goal is to help you gain greater self-understanding, develop effective coping skills, improve your relationships, and build the confidence and resilience to navigate life's challenges. I aim to empower you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
My first session with you
In our first session, we'll discuss what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your background, experiences, and current situation. Together, we'll begin to develop a plan to help you reach your therapeutic goals. You can ask me any other questions you have about the therapy process.
