Life can feel incredibly heavy when you’re carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, or a mood disorder. My name is Serena Penrod, and I believe that healing doesn’t have to be stiff or clinical. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience dedicated to being a fierce advocate for my clients, whether they are children finding their way or adults navigating life's toughest seasons.
My approach to therapy is down to earth, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and approachable space. A space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and share some laughs. Every person is different and I utilize the best evidence based approach according to each person. I focus strongly on building upon each person's strengths, resilience, and values, tailoring treatment to what works best for each person.
In our first few sessions, my goal is to create a space where you feel completely safe and judgment-free. I’m known for being down-to-earth; I love to laugh and find moments of joy, even while we do the deep work of processing trauma. I use evidence-based practices tailored specifically to you, ensuring that our path forward is as unique as your story. It is a genuine honor to be trusted with your experiences, and I am here to help you move toward the life you deserve.
