Char Penn
Licensed Clinical Social WorkerI am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, family conflict, emotional regulation challenges, attachment concerns, and life transitions.
Using an eclectic, evidence-based approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and attachment-based interventions, I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs while fostering a supportive, collaborative, and safe environment where clients feel free to be their authentic selves and in many cases learn to become their authentic self. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted without judgment.
