Penny Willett

Welcome to Penny Willett Counseling Services, where every story matters and healing begins with A Penny for Your Thoughts.

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about providing compassionate, person-centered care tailored to your unique needs. I believe that every person's journey is unique, we are all equal in our need for hope, healing, and connection. With experience working in mental health, trauma, substance use, correction settings, and crisis intervention, I feel my experience can help most in some way reach their goals, whether you're taking your first step or continuing your journey, I look forward to helping you heal from the past, find balance in the present, and build hope for the future.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, person-centered and collaborative. I believe every individual has inherent worth, regardless of their past, and the healing begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I work alongside my clients to understand their unique experiences while teaching practical, evidence-based skills that empower them to regulate emotions, overcome life's challenges, and create lasting change. My goal is not to help them feel better, but to equip them with the confidence and tools to rebuild healthier relationships, greater resilience, and a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in emotion regulation, substance use, anger management and trauma. I offer DBT, EMDR, DUI assessments and training with more to come. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can build practical skills, gain confidence, and create lasting change.

In the first session, the focus will be on my getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We will complete an intake process where I ask about you history, current concerns and what you would like my help with, at a pace that feels comfortable to you. You will also have the opportunity to share your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we will begin identifying treatment goals and discuss how I can best support you using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs.
